HP = tap high punch
BLK = tap block button
F = move or tap joystick in the direction toward your opponent
B = move or tap joystick in the direction away from your opponent

QCB = (quarter circle back) rotate joystick from D to B in one smooth, continuous motion
HCB = (half circle back) rotate joystick from F to D to B in one smooth, continuous motion
[] = brackets indicate that the button should be held while performing the rest of the move command, be sure to release the button after performing the joystick motion for the move to work properly
[BLK] QCF+LP = hold block, QCF+LP, release BLK
* = moves with this symbol can be performed in the air and on the ground unless labeled as (air only)
stuns opponent = opponent will be unable to block for about 2 seconds if the move hits
follow up = opponent will be thrown into the air unable to block allowing an opportunity for a free hit
---Finishing Move Distances Key:
very close = get as close to your opponent as possible
one jump away = get as close to your opponent as possible and jump back, then take one step forward, or you can estimate the distance
just inside sweep range = be close enough to your opponent so that you would be able to foot sweep them with your foot passing between their feet, or you can estimate to be about two full steps away
sweep range = the maximum range of your foot sweep, or about three steps away
just outside sweep range = be just outside the maximum range of your foot sweep, or about four steps away
full screen = get as far away from your opponent as possible
---Basic Moves:
Uppercut = D+HP
Throw = F+LP (very close) (UNBLOCKABLE)
Roundhouse = B+HK
Foot Sweep = B+LK
---Other Things You Need to Know:
Most special moves and basic attacks will cause your opponent to take a little bit of damage if they block.
Hold BLK to block a high attack or D+BLK to block a low attack. Special moves that hit low can be blocked while standing but basic attacks that hit low must be blocked while crouching. All attacks that hit high can be blocked while crouching.

---Hidden Characters:
---Jade:
To fight Jade, play to the stage before the "?" stage on a one player game. Win one round of the stage before the "?" stage using only LK. Jade is very fast and can throw Kitana's fan. (Note: no projectile weapon will affect Jade.)
---Smoke:
To fight Smoke, do lots of uppercuts on "The Portal" stage on a one or two player game. If Dan Forden appears in the lower-right corner of the screen and says "Toasty", press D and hit Start while he is still on the screen. Smoke can throw Scorpion's spear and is very fast. Smoke's main attack is to throw you, run over, and throw you again and again while you are getting up. (Note: you CANNOT block throws)
---Noob Saibot:
To fight Noob, win 50 matches (25 on Genesis version) in a row on a two player game. Noob is very fast, but not as fast as Smoke, and can throw Scorpion's spear. Noob's main attack is to throw you much like Smoke. Noob is also very hard to see in front of the black background, since he is nothing but a black shadow.
---Finishing Move Notes:
---When to Perform Finishing Moves:
Any Finishing Move must be performed after "Finish Him/Her" appears on the screen. You will have about 5 seconds to activate the Finishing Move.
---Positioning and the Block Button:
In order to prevent your character form walking forward or back when performing the command for a Finishing Move, you may hold BLK while inputting the command. However, you must release BLK before hitting the final button in the Finishing Move for it to work unless the Finishing Move command requires U to be pressed in which case you may hold BLK through the entire command including the final button.
---"Dead Pool" Fatality:
To uppercut your opponent into the acid waters of the "Dead Pool," hold LP+LK, get very close to your opponent, and perform an uppercut while still holding LP+LK.
---Babality and Friendship Requirements:
To perform a Babality or Friendship, you cannot use HP or LP during the winning round.
A Babality or Friendship can be performed from anywhere on the screen.
