jump back strat

that made no sense but thanks i guess

Walk up to him and jump forward and kick right as you leave the ground. He will try to jump and counter you almost every time.

In MK2 there is an universal system, called "Jump-Back". It's applicable with all characters except Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena and Raiden. The strategy is simple: wait for the opponent to come nearly next to you, but not too close so that he isn't able to throw you, and jump back. He'll follow you, but with a little later jump - when you have already landed - and you'll be able to juggle him.

The characters this system doesn't work with on the other hand have incredibly good and long sweeps. It's possible to beat the computer on Very Hard using only sweeps. Far-away jump kicks also do wonderful job with the characters that don't have Air Fireballs or Fan Lift...

Another strategy to win with time if you have more health is D+LK (crouch kick). Done at the right distance, this will make the A.I. to try to sweep you, but he won't succeed.
