How do you beat Goro?

In Mortal Kombat 1 how do you beat him? Ive tryed a million times and cant find a trick to it. Does anyone know the best charactor or style to beat Goro?
 
Re: How do You beat Goro?

I personaly did it with liu kang.But thats just me.I though shang was harder because them fire skulls wipe out half of your half and can be goro
 
Re: How do You beat Goro?

Heres the trick i learned long ago..use SubZero and Continuesly use his freeze and then follow up with an uppercut and repeat the same rutine until he is beaten try not to get to close to him or he will grab you freeze him far distance then roll towards him and uppercut
 
Re: How do You beat Goro?

Get a good distance away from him (a little beyond half-screen should do it) and do an early jump kick (kick near the top of your arc instead of waiting until you're right on top of him). As soon as you land, throw a projectile (Scorpion's obviously the best choice for this); it'll hit him as he's getting up. Rinse and repeat.

You can also just early jump kick him to death, as well as the rest of the cast for that matter. Just work on getting the timing and distance down.

On a side note, that trick also works quite well on Kintaro in MK2. The early jump kick part.
 
Re: How do You beat Goro?

Believe it or not after trying like 25 to 30 times with every fighter i was able to put a Double Flawless match against GORO. I was using the jumping at the back of the screen and jumping forward with High Kick technique. Shang Tsung was also a pain in th A**
 
Re: How do You beat Goro?

The main key to beating Goro with Any character is jump kicks & timing. Forward jump kick, jump back, forward jump kick,jump back,forward jump kick....Goro blocks then immediatly counter with a jumpback kick as he blocks again. Rinse & repeat.This method works for any character. :)
 
Got a few cheap tricks to beat Kintaro in particular.

Funny enough, he was A LOT harder than Shao Kahn....only took me 3 tries to beat Shao.....Kintaro took like two weeks, until I used a few cheap methods =)

First one that is fairly effective is Sub-Zero jump kick/slide combo. Just jump kick Kintaro and immediately do a slide. Don't do it too many times in a row or he will grab you, but do the jump kick/slide combo and then jump back a few times to give some space and then keep repeating the jump kick/slide combo (with jumping back).

The first method actually didn't do it for me....I used this method ----> Baraka has a long kick so I kept jump kicking him and then taking a few steps back, jump kicking then taking a few steps back, repeat this. The thing is, if you time it right, Kintaro tries to uppercut you after you step back a little and then jump kick, but he misses and you get him.

It was so easy to beat him with Baraka's method. If I play MK2 again, I will record it for you guys so you get it. It might not work the first time or two, you gotta get the timing just right, but when you get the timing right, it's a joke to beat him.

For UMK3 Motaro, I used the same method I used since I played the game when it came out....I just jump kick him, jump back, wait for his jump towards me, jump kick, repeat.

For UMK3 Shao Kahn, I used Sindel. I ducked until he did his air shadow kick, gave him an uppercut, then ran in, did my combo, ran back, ducked again, waited for the air shadow kick, repeat the above. For the second round, Shao gets mad, and does the shoulder shadow block, so I would just duck, block, let him do his shoulder shadow block, then run in and combo his ass to hell.

Took about 4 tries to beat him.


If you guys have any rips on how to beat any of the MK games, post them here.
 
Here's my post from another thread:
I've beaten them all on normal(wanted to kick myself that I didn't went earlier to the options menu).
MK1
After getting my ass handed by Goro in MK1, I've decided to beat him with Sub-Zero(ice freeze and upper cut+ repeat) and got double flawless victory with Liu Kang over Shang Tsung by spaming the "flying kick" move.
MK2
Kitana and Mileena were a pain, but I decided to beat them with Mileena by spamming the "teleport kick" and sweeping them.
Got Kintaro in the corner with Sub Zero and started pressing the LP like a mad man!
Shao Khan was very easy with Mileena, just do "teleport kick" for the whole match, he block's it
but doesn't attack, that's how you take his life little by little.
UMK3
Didn't get Jade on my ladder, so I can't tell you a strategy.
I kept jumping and running around Motaro with Scorpion.Jumped towards him with HP and when landing kept pressing HP, so I can get one of the combos started, but there was no need.
If you keep jumping around him and pressing the HP you can get double flawless victory.
Shao Khan was easy with Sub Zero (ice blast and upper cut+ repeat).

So, If someone still hasn't got the trophies/achievements for the arcades.There are my strategies.
 
umk3 - you can get any regular computer opponent to throw a projectile if you jump backwards and kick or punch towards the end close to landing. With this in mind you cna use any teleporter to punish them, smoke, sektor, ermac, scorpion, human smoke, ect. So once they throw the projectile immediately do your teleport into combo for however u have. Works against everyone. Jade can be a pain in the ass to get her to throw her boomerang sometimes but still wroks 80% of the time for her

motaro is easy. just jump around and if he jumps, jump kick then run up combo.

Shao Khan you can spam with sub zero, just throw a freeze after knocking khan down and hell be frozen trying to get back up, then uppercut and repeat.


regarding what someone said about being able to duck shao khans shadow charge, i dont think thats possible unless Sindel has some seriously amazing crouching ability. NOrmally you get hit if you are ducking with most everyone.
 
Also for MK2 i used to see someone do this in the arcade, but I dont think it was the final version of the game, probably one of the middle ones...but somehow the dude would be able to basically "puppeteer" the computer where if he walked forward they walked forward and if he walked back they walked back, so he woul djust walk all the way back and then do a set up combo like using kitanas fan lift. I wish I figured out how to do that.

Use SCORPION! Jump towards goro and wait untill the very last possible second to kick him and then as soon as your kick connects and he falls back IMMEDIATELY do his HARPOON, then uppercut as usual. Repeat until he is dead! SAME THING WORKS FOR KINTARO IN MK2! But remember, wait until the very last possible second to kick him when you jump towards him, that way HE WILL NOT CONNECT with that CHEAP UPPERCUT of his...

To beat Motaro. Be Sheeva. And when he jumps at you, jump kick him in the air, and as HE is landing, RUN towards him and do her 7 hit combo (SUPER EASY). Repeat until he is dead! To beat Shao Khan in UMK3 be ROBO smoke, and spear him and then uppercut! As soon as you uppercut, RUN towards him and uppercut him again EVEN before his stand-up animation is complete. Repeat this until he is dead!

TRUST ME PEOPLE! THESE ALL WORK! AND I DID THESE ALL ON THE "VERY HARD" DIFFICULTY SETTING (AND ON MASTER II TOWER {the one on the very right, i think its called Master II} in UMK3)

CHEERS

You're working too hard for your wins there. MK1 Goro, UMK3 Motaro & Shao Kahn can be easily beaten by any character. JK's Goro, straight up JK into autocombo vs Motaro (easiest of easy sub bosses, period) and wait, bait and punisher Kahn. SOOO FREEEE

I didnt know a jump kick, spear, and uppercut was "to hard"! LOL! It's not rocket science dude. lol

*On a side note, my ways of beating them work on the MASTER II tower while being on VERY HARD difficulty setting. Yours probably works on the NOVICE tower while being on the VERY EASY difficulty setting.


Just saying

lol
 
no, its not different than any other setting. this stuff is so simple. The patterns are the same,and it takes hardly anything to beat the bosses in these games.

Its like the Donkey Kong or Mega Man speed runs. its pie.

For wait and punish Khan there is one issue. I duck and wait for him to do his rising knee or laugh, then punish the crap out of him (for any charachter if im not doing a cheapy liek sub zero). The only problem with having to duck without blocking to get his rising knee to go over you and to let his spears go over you is the fact you have to really have cat liek reflexes everytime to quickly block if he does the shoulder charge which will hit you if you are ducking without block. So it becomes a ***** sometimes when you think hes going to do a shoulder charge and you block but he does the rising knee instead and you miss your opportunity to punish.

make sense? probbably not.
