Well I went through survival mode with Kung Lao on the PS2 version since the XBOX version is screwed up and freezes loading into level 4. I beat every level 1 - 8 and level 9 I died twice. I finally beat them on the 3rd try. That fight is awesome but tough. All it did was up my %. Going to go through survival with the other fighters. I found that dealing more damage to Ermac and Scorpion is most helpful because they just freakn rock out out of the four of them.
For people having problems with level 8. Its really not bad. If your Kung Lao its too easy. Just Dive Kick Kintaro 5 times and just jump away from him. Then instantly jump and do 5 more dive kicks and repeat. Try to keep main focus on him and less of goro. Once your done with Kintaro, do 4 dive kicks on goro and jump away. Then jump back at him instantly and repeat. When you jump away from both of them, dont jump away in front of them because they have a good chance of hitting you. Just fall/jump off to the side and then jump back in the air again. A very easy pattern to follow. In any case, I hope all this helps.
