How Mortal Kombat 2 cheats against you | MVG

I'm all about difficulty; but requiring someone to find an exploit, to me, takes a lot of the fun out of the whole thing. Cheating isn't competition. Granted, Midway (was) a business; but goddamn, just make it harder -- not cheating.

I swear I got thrown out of a fucking Superman attack once

Hmm so looking at the counter throw code, looks like you could just set variable to win status (fatality) and then the AI would never attempt to throw you? I wonder if thats what they did in the MAME patches.

Great job. Always thought it was weird how short the life bars were. Three hits and you’re dead. It’s fun to play against an actual person. :)

YES! hahahah that's true brother.

GSTAR321: Look, the AI is Fucked alright!

So this is why fighting games make me mad

Winning against a cheat has to be one of the most satisfying feelings there is

I think that despiste several games doing the same input reading and reactions, mk2 and 3 feel specially chesp because block is a function independent of movement.

As such, other infamous input readers such as king of fighters Will have more opening for counterattacks while the enemy is locked out of blocking bc of movement commands, while mk drones can easily alternate between them.

its not really cheats, its programmed that way. The cpu doesn't have to press buttons. Your imputs are simply too slow to keep up with the cpu. If a move requires you to press Down, forward, up + "B" buttons, how long with it take for a human to do it? since the cpu doesnt have to physically press buttons, it nearly instant.

Are we entitled to compensation?

El verdadero problema de la ia tramposa es que no te quedaba otra alternativa que recurrir a la técnica de spam (saltar hacia atrás, luego hacia adelante cuando el oponente salta y pegarle). Entonces convertía al juego en MUY FÁCIL. Si querías desarrollar cualquier estrategia, simplemente perdías, así que usabas spam, y el juego estaba como arruinado. Lamentablemente, porque mk2 es el mejor mk de todos

You should do mk11 Kung lao

I was looking for this video, LITERALLY this weekend... And here it pops up on my feed. WTF?!

Oh...

So that's why i hate fighting games!

Can you make a video about How Street Fighter cheats against you?

Unless you knew how to exploit the CPU there was no way you could beat MK2. It was literally impossible. On the other hand if you knew how to do so, it was a piece of cake.

As a little boy of 13/14, I didn't notice any of this. I was a master in MKII in my hometown together with a few others. Just practice well. What we did do in the Netherlands and what I still do is always play MK games with player 2. What I do remember is that every so often the game changed and you had to learn to play again. Now I know that this was another revision. Oh what wonderful times those were. Going to the arcades every day after school. How many guilders would I have thrown into it in total haha.

So sad honestly. We all loved a game, and the creators were either too lazy, incompetent, or didn't care about the user enough to spend time creating a proper AI.... I played sf2 forever and RARELY felt the ai was a straight cheat.

This game took so much money from me as a child. Essentially all my money, any money I could come across.

I used to watch my Father clock mk2 on my mega drive in the 90s with his mates they must have been really good gamers back then

EA: We want to patent code to deliberately manipulate people into thinking they are worse, by pairing them against better players, then offer them micro-transaction items to buy, so they think they will do better next time.
Arcade games of decades past: Cool.

This gives me flashbacks to the later stages of Tekken games. Grabs become completely useless as the cpu player can always somehow anticipate them

The computer just button bashers, they seem to come out with every move out the book lol

I was really good at MK2 as a kid, and used to beat it all the time. I just played it and I have no fucking idea how that was possible...

The number of rage quits this game caused 😂😂

Still beat it though... using those massive combos from cheat code central lol

just another conspiracy proven true over time, I feel so vindicated yelling at the arcade machine "this things cheats!"

These guys also work on voting machines.

Ryeden.

Basically see your move before you make it the npc is on drugs

Ohh absolutely it does, you have to cheap shot the game to win it.

Not as severe and mean, but SFII has it also when you continue to use the heavy punch/kick all the time. Mixing it all up confuses the AI but that is not gonna work here.

So basically, everyone who's ever put in additional quarters into the arcade machines because of this BS deserves a refund. Not that it'll be life-changing money to each individual person. But it's the principle that matters.
You don't make someone pay for what they think is a fair competition, when in reality, there's a bunch of trickery being playing in the background to insure that they lose and keep giving you their hard-earned money.

I'M LOOKING AT YOU CASINOS

I noticed that EVERY time I do a down+B kick, it will make contact, then the AI will sweep kick, and there's nothing to do to avoid it. I've tried blocking and jumping immediately after my kick, but there's nothing I can do to avoid being sweep kicked because it's instantaneous. I don't know if there's something I'm missing, but I just stopped using that move altogether.

I still have ptsd of being thrown from my sweep-kicks. 😵‍💫

I knew I didn't suck at it!

I guess if you can beat it, you're a god.

I don't know about everybody else but I learned that if you just kneel down and hit everybody in the crotch and balls you will win the game with flawless victories every round 😅😅😅

Yet there was a set pattern to outsmart the AI. I took 1 step forward, jumped away and let the opponent follow me so i had the advantage with the uppercut. Kintaro I could only finish with Kitana's whirlwind fan.

Glad I’m not the only one who thought this.

After getting traumatized by UMK3 as a child, thing brings me some level of inner peace.

Jump backwards and duck, there's videos on how to beat the AI in MK2. You can't play fair in this game, only exploits. I'm still not very good at it, I play it sometimes at barcades.

Not me, I'll put 50 cents in it. Beat the whole game with 50 cents. There was a glitch in the game. Oh.
You probably don't know about it.

Maybe you weren't good at the game.Why I waste my money under I was playing Other People.If I will play just One player, I will beat the game.

arcade games are there for "entertainment" purposes !! .... (you can't beat a computer) .... TWO player games are MUCH more fairer (because your playing against ANOTHER human)

Streetfighter games is the same cheats against the player

I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY I WOULD SLAUGHTER EVERYONE I KNOW EXCEPT THE AI THAT GAMES CRAZY 🤣

Me: I swear the CPU is reading my inputs.
Others : No you’re just bad at the game.

Me now: Vindicated at last.
