You might have to lower the difficulty, whether you like it or not.

What worked for me was first starting with a teleport and upper-cut. Take about 2 steps towards Shao Kahn and teleport again, typically he goes for a special/projectile and by teleporting right away you are behind him ready to upper-cut him again. If the pattern is broken it is easy to resume.

I tried staying as far away as possible and teleporting, but that didn't work as well or as quickly as what I mentioned above. I saw it on a youtube video and it worked very well for me.

i spammed the shit out of the flying move into the corner and uppercutted him when i could. Took me forever too and honestly I think I got lucky.

i would use the teleport then his AAB, then fly attack

I teleported a lot and round house kicked him and then teleported again, a lot of times his moves take him out of uppercut range so I used the back kick/round house instead.

I tried to maintain a lotta space between us. I waited for him to toss the hammer, teleported behind him and did the flying smash. If there was still a lotta space, I'd spam a spark then back away while blocking everything, waiting for him to throw the hammer so I could smash him in the back again. Rinse and repeat. Took probably 20 matches, but I finally got him.

Exactly how I did it too. If he wants to play cheap, I can too lol :laugh:
 
Re: how can you beat the last match in story mode radien vs shao khan?

Its been said but, a lot of jumping behind him and upper cutting. Also give yourself some distance, crouch and block, when he is about to throw something, teleport and hit him, I usually upper cut, but you can also combo. if he taunts, do a super man.

Its the hardest match, I never really used Raiden back when I used to play MK1-3 so I wasn't familiar with his moves. In story mode I could win every match in the first try, two with Liu Kang (he fights bosses and I never played him before either) but man final Khan took me like 20 tries.


good luck man.
 
Re: how can you beat the last match in story mode radien vs shao khan?

I beat him on medium difficulty, but barely. Took me like 50 tries to do it, and I wouldnt lower the difficulty. I just did calculated moves. Teleport. Fast quick combos when hes vulnerable. Xray when i teleport. Jump up in air and punch, then uppercut. Its a tough one.
 
Shao Kahn in story

Whats the best way to beat him? Hes pretty brutal, he goes through a lot of blocks and its not easy to interupt his attacks. I have noticed he taunts a lot. Whats the best/easiest way to kill this boss?
 
Re: Shao Kahn in story

If you want to be cheap, you can jump towards him and then jump back quickly and he will either do a taunt or swing his hammer and miss you, which gives you an open chance to uppercut him. You can also throw in Raiden's torpedo and when Raiden lands on his feet, do a quick jump back out of the way, let Shao swing his hammer/taunt, and go in for an uppercut.
 
Re: Shao Kahn in story

My tactic with Liu Kang was continuously doing his low fire ball from across the screen. Kahn almost always shot his energy spear. I did this to build an X-ray a few times in the match.

With Raiden, Stay away from Kahn, and let him throw a projectile, then do the Teleport and go for his Superman move (if you're feeling brave you can try to tie it with a fast 2-3 hit combo first); also, you sometimes have time to toss a lightning bolt if you're quick enough to throw it then duck/teleport away.

I just finished Story Mode after getting the game this morning. Played for a couple of hours, then played with my sister Test Your Luck. Damn, the mode will never get old! Every time something else. We were cracking up!
Bought some Krypt stuff...
Then I did some challenge tower (got to level 50) then got back to story mode till I finished it.

Total, I played for almost 12 straight hours!

He def doesn't get easier the more you lose to him. Teleport and patience are the key for him. Keep away from him, wait till he attacks, teleport and quick combo and get out of there.
 
Re: how can you beat the last match in story mode radien vs shao khan?

Jump in the air and do the torpedo over and over again till he taunts and then torpedo him or teleport to him and uppercut him.

Or

Just keep staying in the air with the torpedo till the time is up.
 
Re: how can you beat the last match in story mode radien vs shao khan?

i beat him on my first try by staying away waiting for him to throw sumthing than teleport & uppercut
