The best MK2 rumors you tried or almost beleived...

When Jax's arm rip was added to the game, it was going around in the arcades that there was a way to make him beat you death with the guy's arms after you yanked them off. I felt the way I felt seeing Sub-Zero's Animality in MK3 when I saw the first video of Quan-Chi's MK4 Fatality, I tell you what.
 
Here there was rumor about you can fight the hanging skeleton in Goro's Lair. But to do that first you need to go and fight against one of the secret characters and defeat him/her below that skeleton. Then the chains will break and the fight against the skeleton must begin.

Also there was a rurmor about a red ninja girl hiding in one of the stages :p 15 years later will know as Skarlet (?)
And i think was a secret fight with Goro or something like that.

Those were GOOD times.
 
Someone told me that in addition to Friendships there were also "Deathships." I'm not sure what that implies.
 
A friend of mine told me about this hidden character in MK2 named Bloody Mary. And I'm thinking, what the hell?! I faked believing it for about a month before completely forgetting about it.

I don't think I ever believed any of the rumors because I have always been naturally skeptical but the best one I ever heard? Probably unlocking Kintaro by beating the game with each character one hundred times with no round losses.
 
I remember my brother, sister, and I thinking that you could actually play as Noob Saibot, Jade, and Smoke if you beat them in their secret fights.
 
A girl named Emerald was suppose to be in the game. The magazine said she had sais like Mileena and is wearing a green leotard.
 
This game was legendary for myths and mysteries. Here are some that come to mind from my memory:

Deadpool hook fatality
Animality/Nudilty/Sexality
Kano and Sonya being playable
Red Robin ninja?!

There are many more that I'm sure will surface if I truly think about it for a bit longer. Thinking about this game brings me back to the golden era of the early 90's.
 
Guess I'll post this here. It's longwinded:

from https://tcrf.net/Mortal_Kombat_II_(Arcade)

Only mistake I see is that 3.1 did not remove the Kintaro glitch where you can punch him in the corner for the win

MKII arcade had 6 different versions (more than SFII arcade)

---------------------------------------------

Revision 1.1

The first public release. Despite this, it's very unfinished!

Free Play is enabled by default.

Raiden is missing both his Fatalities, His win animation also has no lightning and doesn't dim the screen, his Shock Grab is also ineffective against the CPU.
Kintaro and Shao Kahn are very difficult to beat, although Kintaro can be cheesed by just mashing punch the entire match.

If you can read this, you'll know what I'm talking about. Emerald was a RUMOR. Aight. ;)

I think Emerald can still be a character. JADE'S MOM can be her!!!!!!!! (The woman in Jade's MK9 and MK11 are confirmed to be her mother and she can be Emerald.) She should have similar moves with Jade but more focused on the Edenian Magic. Maybe a staff weapon but slightly modified and/or a whole new weapon.
