I spent way too much money on MK1 in the arcade back in the day and since the web was brand new, most people didn't have access. The only way to find out new moves and fatalities was word of mouth or spending money.
Over the years, it was fun to find various glitches in game. I've always wondered what other people may have found back in the day or later on. Since you were limited to the local players, it was difficult to discover what others around the country may have found.
Here are a few things I learned over the years and obviously some are commonly known now.
Scorpion ground fatality:
Get your opponents health low enough where a throw will end the fight. Throw them and while in motion start hitting Up over and over. If done right, the fighter will remain lying on the ground and Scorpion will burn them with his Fatality with them on the ground.
Sub-Zero frozen fatality:
This one is a little tricky and requires luck but is similar to the Scorpion one. End the fight with a throw and immediately throw a ice ball. If the game doesn't count it as ending the match, the fighter will remain frozen and you can then perform Sub's fatality on them. It doesn't change anything but it's kinda cool.
Sonya ground fatality:
Just like the Scorpion one, end the fight with a throw and if you are quick, Sonya will perform her fatality with the fighter will lying on the ground. The kiss will fly to the ground and then burn them.
Johnny Cage's double head fatality:
This one is probably common knowledge now due to joke version of it in MK2 but some may still not know about it. If you are a quick, you can get Cage to uppercut two heads in a row with his fatality. This requires super quick F-F-HP motions and if you are lucky, Cage will do his fatality twice in a row. Some have rumored to do it 3 times but I've never seen it.
Cheap Flawless Victory tactics:
Sub-Zero and Scorpion both have long range roundhouse kicks. You can duck, roundhouse, step back a step and repeat and nearly every fighter will walk right into the kick over and over. Cage seems to be especially vunerable to this move. Doing this is a surefire way of getting a double flawless victory.
Another trick that works on every fighter is the jump kick spam. Fighters with a downward facing kick like the ninjas and Kano are the best for this. Get distance and then time your jump kick to hit them in the head. Step back a few steps and then repeat. This is another easy way to get a double flawless victory and the other fighter will walk right into them.
If you have any weird glitches to share feel free to post them here.
