I had MK2 on Sega and Super NES, and while both were not Arcade perfect, Kintaro was hard to beat on both games. I soled both the Sega and NES, but the challage Kintaro gave me will always be rember,

MK2 comes out for MWT 2 and I was like yes, I get to face Kintaro the guy that gave me a good fight evey time we fought lol.

I got to Kintaro, and I found out almost evey time I do a drop kick, Kintaro does a uppercutt, and the drop kick beats the uppercutt, making Kintaro easy to beat and I was like what the hey, were was the challage ?? Were was the brute force he use to kick my butt?? When I not Scorpin or Subzero?? Now I can beat Kintaro with evey one.

I was let down because they tone down Kintaro a LOT. Why did they do this??

I don't think they toned down Kintaro. I just do the pattern I always did back when I had the SNES version of the game. I usually pick Raiden or Scorpion but drop kicks, then projectile are what I do and keep it going like that.

My gripe is how cheesy Motaro can be in MK 3. Granted, he is still fairly easy to beat but some times he just trashes you and cheeses you with his infinite fireballs.

I use to beat him easy with Sub-Zero, just keeping freezing then doing an uppercut on him.
Although, that's an easy way, I didn't like to beat him that way :P

I prefered to use Scorpion or Liu Kang to beat him

He seems easy to me, My Sega/NES the drop kick trick just did not work, I land the drop kick and Kintaro would thown me afer he block. Only Scoprin and Subzero could take Kintaro down(Some times Braka)

Here I do a Jump Kick and he uppercutts, thus I able to land a drop kick. Try it, they change Kintaro's patter a bit. After loseing to Kintaro for the first 2 times, I learn he does not block the drop kick often. (The same fear that Kintaro gave me in Sega, afraid to do a drop kick lol.)

Now Motaro is hard to beat on Midway classics, He never stops thowing fireballs.

But help is on hand, I always pick Sheeva vs Motoro. I would do her Want a Be Kintaro jump, and beat him with a flawness victory evey time.Motarto has no Answer for the Kintaro Jump.

I think the Sega Kintaro would have done the same to Motaro and win easy to.

Yeah, that's what I do. I play as Sheeva and beat him without him landing a punch

all of u have ur different stratagies but no one has mentioned the one that i use the most. kitanas fan wavw then flying punch to the fan projectile combo. the only other ones other than liu kang,such as scorpian or sub-zero, just wouldnt work. Scorppian is my fav. player and i know all of his moves and combos, not saying theres a lot, but i couldn't stand a chance against kintaro.....and the infinite fireballs do suck dont they?furiousfuriousfurious

One of the Reason Kintaro is cool, because how hard he was to beat in MK2

Now I like Kintaro a lot, my screen name says it all. Wish they bring him back, found out Kintaro was killed by Raiden in the 2nd MK tourment.

But when MK2 first came out, people (Kids my age lol, man that was long ago lol) were talking about how cool and how tough Kintaro was. It was the way Kintaro fought that made him cool, and the spikes and mask help. He had to be hard to beat to be cool, Not hard as in Anger when you lose, but more along the lines have better and cooler movies, so when you lost to Kintaro you wont be as angery as before lol. Loseing to Goro is a insult(Again the home versons) But if you made it to Kintaro and lost, you were not view as a weak player. it was a honor to lose to him lol.

But he can be beat, Scoprin, For got Kintiana fan moves could beat Kintaro.

At the time we had MK1 on Sega or NEs, and they tone down Goro a lot. making him easy to beat. Now I have MK1 on the bouns disk, Goro does put up a good fight. So I have new respect for him.

I like Kitana in Mortal Kombat 2. She is a combo machine. I don't use her in MK II as much as I did back then. Don't know why but I just don't.

Kintaro died at the hands of Raiden? Where did that come from? Was it in Konquest in MK deception?

To Motoro's rarely used bio in MK3 it said Kintaro was Vapizarz was Raiden, ITs even in his bio some were. And no I not going to wait for a few hours for Motoro's bio to pop up.

I concur with the ease of defeating him. I can pick any male ninja and jump kick him out of an uppercut repeatedly to gain a double flawless. I don't remember being able to do that...

it works for Cage, the ninjas, The females, Kiu Kang(But cant beat the CPU with him. I win the first 4 matchs or so, than I have to switch to some one else, Jump forward and jump back trick, Its cheap yes, but there is no other way.)

It works for evey one I think, Not sure about the females, Just drop Kick Kintaro out of a uppercutt, and bam easy win. I do the cheap tactic here to, because I never beat Kintaro with any one but Scorpin and Subzero before MWT.

But still I think they tone him down a bit. If I had the Sega or Nes, again, I guess I can try that, but I know what would happen, He block and thown me.

You guys relly need to start doing some test with Kintaro, because hey you have unlimted lives, So he can beat you 100 times, and you can still go on.


I do this to see if there are any thing else they did to Kintaro, but nope, thats it I think.
