The guy doing the Sub-Zero strat knew. He figured it out.

Beat him a ton in arcades when I was a teenager, his AI typically does 1 of 3 moves at mid range. You want to duck almost the entire match and react based on what he does. Fireball - duck it without blocking Ground dash - ducking block Air Dash - Uppercut then run in with your characters best dial-a-combo (air dash can only hit you while ducking if you block) Back to ducking and repeat. If he gets you to the corner you need to eat some damage to get out. Duck but don't block and uppercut him when you recover (followed by running in with dial-a-combo). You recover faster if you don't block his attacks in the corner.

​@hatch450sx3 na Shao is super easy in MK9. Pick any teleport character, ideally one who's teleport isn't an attack (like Raiden) and just stay full-screen. Wait for the hammer throw, teleport, punish, go full-screen. Or, if you're confident in your blocking, you can walk right up to him and just continually cross-up punish him. He will always try to punish with his hammer swing upper, will miss, and while he will occasionally armor thru your attack and smash you, overall, if you're using a character you're familiar with, you will win easily. The counter-zoning method is way safer bc you don't risk forgetting to block his X-Ray.

Yeah, it's weird watching pro players struggle against a boss that's easily exploited and whose exploits were widely known in the 90s. To those who don't know, UMK3's AI is a joke when you realize you can literally make it do what you want it to do. It has canned responses to your inputs that it does 99% of the time, so you can make it walk into your counters pretty much at will.

@jaywolfenstien

@@mad0jester At a glance Jade seems worse because she could insta-aura and get a full combo where other characters would, at most, get a jump kick with no follow up. But her AI fell to the exact same teleport shenanigans every other CPU opponent fell to. She really wasn't any harder than any other character. The UMK3 AI is literally, "If player does X, counter with Y." You know it's going to do Y. So counter Y with Z. With Smoke, jump back with kick and immediately tap forward as fast as you can. If they go to throw a projectile, hit LK to teleport into harpoon for a full combo. Rinse & repeat. In the rare case they don't throw a projectile, don't teleport. Land and jump back again. Kahn will try to counter your projectile with his own no matter what. If you knock Kahn down once and then throw a spear/harpoon/ice ball as he stands up, he will never block if you time it right. All this was common knowledge back then, and there's many videos from old school players demonstrating this. It's not to knock anyone. I'd have to warm up to the rhythm before I'd be able to go a full arcade run again, so I don't blame people who don't even know the moves (especially since the inputs evolved drastically over the years so even if you do know modern MK inputs, it won't do you any good in the original trilogy.) It's just early MK seemed very difficult due to button readin at first, but they all had stupid gimmicks that beat them and made you say, "Really?! That's it?! That's all I had to do?!"

@a.jackson9613

With Robot Smoke, the back jk would make the cpu use a projectile more often than not, making an easy teleport punish, jk to throw. The jump kick and throw punish did as much damage as a regular combo and was super super easy. After match 3 or so, the cpu would input read you and destroy you if you fought it like you would a normal person. MK2 was similar in after a few wins, input reading everything you would do. So if you crouched down and let them get close, you could jump back, and it would make them jump at you. In turn, you could roundhouse or uppercut them out of the air.

I got me surprised: watching the video, I realized that after almost 20 years, I still remember some Sub-Zero and Kabal combos.

11:30 😆 punch problem

Great video Justin! I dont know how much footage you left out of the cut but beating Shao Kahn in less than 10 attempts is crazy 😮

Man... those are mostly kids who never grew up with the arcade games. I'm 42 and was 10 when the first game came out, and I've been playing ever since. They need a grizzled veteran to hand Shao Khan his butt back to him.

Ive actually beaten this boss, my strat for all this mk bosses was just to jump kick over and over, and the ocasional uppercut. It worked like maybe one out of a dozen times, but like it only needs to work once.

This one was fun to watch. More like this please. Good stuff!

It’s so many ways to beat UMK3 shao. Easiest Cyrax web run upper do it again ASAP. It’s so easy.

LOLed at the Phoenix Wright theme at the ending 😂😂

This series of videos own. Need to get more of these.

Watching this rom play. Gave me them flash back, 😢 arcade stick with the X shape buttons position and block being the middle, holy cow its been so long.

J Wong fighting game sadist 😮💛

Justin spreading the pain of old school cheap bosses. We need more this in 2024

I remember always beating Kahn in this game as a Kid, (27 now) I would spam Liu Kang,s low fireball, Kahn would do that rising knee move, than i would crouch block into uppercut. Works every time.

I remember playing this in my teens. Used to have hella comp back in Chicago.

Duck, uppercut when he does upward knee. Spear on standing up animation. Combo. If he does normal shoulder charge, spear because he is likely to do it more than once. Then combo. Even if you take damage, if you land something once more than he does, you'll have more health and he'll die before you do. Do it twice. You win. Works on all towers.

Man, I remember me and my friends grinding hard to beat MK3 Khan when we were in middle school. When my buddy beat him, you would have thought we won the SB!

Use Smoke, jump back, mid-air teleport uppercut, jump kick+throw combo. Repeat.

Omg I was so hype that guy beat it!

Love the phoenix wright at the end! ☺️

Those screams after that hammer thwack, though 🤣🤣

2:01 Gojo: I'd win 😂that's not going to look good

The method I always used was to crouch and block, wait until Shao did his upward shoulder charge, then uppercut him right as he’s above me, then just run in, uppercut, run in, uppercut, run in, uppercut, etc.

I have played SOOOOO much MK 1,2,3 and UMK3 and MK trilogy growing up. They are still my favorite MK games to this day. I feel you should do KI or KI2 on the next tournament.

6:05 - AH Sub-zero was so close!!

17:25 That caught me off guard 🤣🤣

I remember getting lit up by Shao Kahn as a kid. Kintaro from MK2 was really tough, too.

I dont know if somebody mentioned, but when i was 13 and played umk3 i found the way. Pick up Rain>waterball>put Shao above Rain> uppercot> again > 2 perfect on any difficulty

Damn, Justin. Please present this challenge in Texas Showdown. I’ll win it. Most AIs have a pattern. You have to worry about Motaro. Mostly unpredictable and most full combos are not wise to use. Shao Khan had a semi predictable pattern. Step back in beginning and many times you bait a Shoulder Charge or Victory Knee. Punish. Cross ups may work, especially for a combo. But you may have your block a charge or a fireball. Duck hammers or legs. Punish. Corners are bad if you are in them. Get Shao Khan in a corner (Jax has a great time with this). Spears and freezes are good if timed. No fireball matches. You won’t win. Distance management can spell life or death.
