Jump in and link a starter to combo, if he blocks it, only do the first hit of the combo, it will stun him long enough so you can take a step forward, cross him up, and do it again, you will get two hits of chip each time you do this. If he whiffs a punch, finish out the full combo, then run in again and cross him up.

With Sheeva you can teleport stomp him to death.

With the ninja teleporters you can freely teleport punch him, he'll block, miss a punch and as soon as you land you can combo him.

haha.

First use Block and Run a lot

I find the most usefull way is to use Uppercut.

In the beggining of round, Motaro normally attacks with his tail. If you block down, and counter with an Uppercut, the move will hit.

Now or Motaro will use fireball or jump over you. Jump kick against him and run and give another uppercut.

When you notice that motaro will use fireball, run against him. Normally the ball pass over you and dont hit. Guess what? uppercut.

Hope this helps.

what that guy said

Thanks for the help everone.....

Haha? I didn't ask to be laughed at because I can't play a stupid game right.

Again thanks everyone.

jump kicks and learning your combos are the keys, forget about special moves if you are a novice player

Don't listen to any of these other people, they don't know what they are talking about. You can't just "jump kick" Motaro without him blocking the first round, it only works the second round where he'll eat jump kicks, and even still it's not a guarantee. Jump in and punch starter to combo, over and over, you will get flawless victories over and over.

This is the word of the Lord.

"Thanks be to God - Human Smoke."

1. sometimes if motaro is in corner you can perform him a combo then just move next to him perform the combo again and so on.

2. there are some distance where if you duck, motaro fireball's will not hit you and he will jump over you then uppercut, run to same distance duck...


i can capture clips for both systems if anyone wants, but i think Shock explained the best ways to defeat motaro.

Just wait until you get to Shao Kahn

well in MK3 all u need to do with any one is jump kicks. but in a rythme. like do a jump kick at him. then right away jump away from him but still doing a jump kick just in case. thats how ive always beaten him in MK3.

now UMK3 is a totally different story. cuz in UMK3 they made him harder, faster, and smarter. so the jump kick trick wont work. instead gotta mix up some jump kicks, combos, uppercuts, and roundhouse kicks. i wouldnt even bother blocking. cuz u should always be on the offensive.

as for Shao Kahn... well hes actually easier. u can get easy uppercuts on him and win by doing uppercut after uppercut (but blocking some too). well it maybe not wise to just do uppercuts but they really work. when u finally get to Shao Kahn for me Sub-Zero has always been the man to use against him. then again maybe u can just use Kitana (UMK3) and do fan lift over and over. i remember that pwned. atleast in MK2 against him and Kintaro.

Shao Kahn is Easier. Duck, don't block, after everything he does, run in and combo.

uh the reason i said "haha" was because matt knows so much about umk3 i have to laugh to keep myself from crying.

Heh, I remember playing against Motaro. I used Sheeva's stomp then a combo. I used to repeat that until I beat him.

i always beat him with jades combo 3 or 4 times. After motaro, Shao Kahn is much harder. At least i think so.

From my experience of fighting Motaro on the Genesis version of MK3 & UMK3(I didn't get to play MK3/UMK3 alot at the Arcade when I was younger, I love the Arcade versions of MK, but hated the Arcade joystick) I would duck and wait for him to jump towards me so I could uppercut him, like a game of cat and mouse, but don't get too close to him because he will use that tail sweep, that mule kick, and his grab & punch of his, but I kill him with the likes of Sheeva, and all of the male & female ninjas, but have hell will the rest of the characters.
