Basic AI Manipulation Guide

Most of those are konfirmed for Very Hard difficulty, the roundhouse kick for uppercut for example, wont work in Normal.

Summary:

- To freeze, do it point blank
- To bait uppercuts, knock them down with the roundhouse kick
- If you start an attack and it will not hit the enemy from this distance, they will not react to it even if they are running towards it.
- If you are in the air while an enemy transitions into the IDLE state from a state that they cant act like hitstun/blockstun/getup, they will stand still and do nothing.
- EDIT:  Ice puddle move will make enemies stand still, they can STILL ATTACK YOU, but wont chase or move, so if you hit someone with a roundhouse kick and then do an ice puddle, they wont run at you

---Robots

Summary:

- IF you punch them ,they will counter every following punch untill you jump kick them
- To defeat, do: Roundhouse Kick> HP x 3 > Jump Forward Kick
After the jump´kick you need to walk backwards, this will make the robot shoot with the gun, as its shotting you need to quickly run next to it, let it fire for a second, and repeat the pattern above.
- The robot in the prison, the one with the SAW has no gun, so after the jump forward kick: Turn > Run a set distance > Then run back and repeat pattern, the timing to attack again is just when its about to complete a single step

---Dinosaur

Summary:

- You want to attack as its spitting fire, delay the kick and aim to hit the Dinosaurs Body or the Dude above it, dont target the Dino's face
- After the Kick, stand still and the dinosaur will shoot fire again.
- There is an invisible wall for the dinosaur to the left, you can slide under it and push the dinosaur to the right, or  walk backwards after kicking the dinosaur to keep the space that will trigger the Fire attack

---Shinnok

Summary:

- Does nothing for a few seconds after the fight starts
- WIll only attack if its standing still, dont make him move if you want to him to attack
- Will move backwards if you are too close
- There is only one attack that can be reacted to, the one that the amulet grows, you can react to that and jump over the boss, land behind and freeze him.

Forgive the poor pronunciation on some words, not my native language.

(TAKE A SHOT EVERYTIME I SAY "HERE")



Edit1: For the quan chi assasins you can also just spam LK.
	 Having trouble with the Uppercut damage boost? a freeze next to the enemy wont be blocked, then 					 
	 roundhouse kick.
	The quan chi strat works better in the Very Hard difficulty, but can still be used in normal, and its not necessary to move to the right as i say, because Sareena will have to run that same distance so in the end its the same thing.
	General Rule: Enemies that cant grab you can be cheesed to death with Slide>Grab>Repeat.
				Can grab you: Hulk Monk(Level 5 Fire element), and Everyone in the final level (except AXE 		 	 
  				wielders)

Edit 2: The last part of the guide, especially the quan chi assassins ( Kia, Jatakka, Sarenna) is quite outdated and bad, so just do the next thing.
Carry to the corner and then neutral jump kick spam, the input is to just hold up and press a kick as you go down, this has a bit of RNG to work but its the most consistent and easiest method, worth mentioning that you can also beat scorpion like this.

Experience points Guide (PDF)

Covers the basics of the experience system.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Experience Guide

As you may already know, in order to finish the game you need to have at
least 5100 experience points. It’s for this reason speedruners can’t simply
run past everything and combat is required.
The question is, what’s the optimal way to acquire said experience? To
answer that, we will take a look at how the experience system works.

¿How does it work?

It’s easy, just attack an enemy and you will get experience points, but
there is more to it, each level and enemy has an exp multiplier so to
speak.
For example, a raw uppercut done against a monk in the first level grants
us 9 exp, while a 6 hit combo gives 12.

Yet, dudes in level eight (fortress) give 28 exp per uppercut and 48 per 6
hit combo.

Looking at this it’s easy to come to the conclusion that farming exp/beating enemies in
levels 5 and 8 are the most profitable, and this statement is both true and false.

Efficiency

While some enemies give more exp than others, the time spent killing and the risk to
do so has to be taken into account.
Most enemies that have a weapon, are only programmed to run and attack, they will
never block or do any fancy stuff, this type of enemy it’s the easiest to kill, and the one
that can be killed in a specific way that gives us a lot of exp.

The halberd monk in level 4 it’s a perfect example of this.

Halbred Monk:
*Extremely easy to kill
*Can be respawned(Just throw him in a pit, enemies respawn if they fall offscren)
*Very high exp modifier (3.5)
*Since the level involves backtracking, killing them removes the risk of getting
poked and jumping over them it’s slower than just running.
So we can see that in the case of this particular enemy, not only does the monk gives
good exp, but the level incentives killing them for cleaner flow.

There are places where downtime allows us to beat this monk with 0 time loss,
Two examples:
When waiting for the platform in the water to reach the left side, this monk can be
killed with no time loss.

After using the key, it takes a couple of seconds for the door to close, then the water
starts rising, the monk can be killed after using the key and before the door closes,
avoiding time loss spent killing him.

The opposite of the halberd monk it’s the fast teleporting monk in level 5, while they
have the highest non boss exp modifier, this enemy it’s a pain to kill and their spawn`s
are quite random.

Summary

Now we know that there is a bit of brain that goes into the killing route of the run, and
it’s quite runner dependent.
At the start you shouldn’t care a lot about the exp, since by dying you end up killing
more enemies than necessary, but once the run gets a bit cleaner you need to start
paying attention to this, it’s totally possible to get to the end with less than 5100 and
kill the run.
Failed boss fights carry the exp from the failed attempt, so it’s not as big of a time loss
at it seems, but it still is pretty bad.
It’s always good to keep the experience in mind in the final level, and know that to the
left of the final elevator, there are two enemies worth 165 exp each.

After Thought

*There may be a route that involves killing Scorpion, he is worth a lot of experience
points. Scorpion 2 always spawns in the middle of the room, so it’s easy to kill him by
leaving an ice puddle in the middle and then running to one of the corners, when you
come back he will be dancing.

*After an enemy gets hit with a jump forward kick, they take 50% less damage until
the combo ends, it’s possible to re-stand them with an lp or hp, this can be used to get
more exp from bosses. (But you still get 100% of the exp awared, only the damage is
halved, so this can be used to extend the health of a high exp modifier enemy to get
more exp by getting more attacks)

*My exp route involves killing the sword monks in level 1, kill the monks in level 4, and
then get the rest exp from enemies in the prison and fortress.

As discused on the Forum thread the 100% category has been changed to All Bosses, this better represents a completionist playtrough of the game

PS1 Runs on emulator now must use duckstation, the advantages include:
- With the set settings, it runs as close as possible with the console version
