I know the uppercut damage went down between MK2 and MK3. But, interestingly, in MKT for PSX, certain characters still had MK2 level damage. These were Baraka, MK2 Jax, MK2 Kung Lao, and Johnny Cage. I thought it was interesting that Johnny Cage had MK2 damage since they didn't use MK2 sprites. It was also interesting that MK2 Raiden did not have MK2 damage.

I'm not sure if he had MK2 damage, but Liu Kang had a hell of an uppercut in MKT as well.

I think the fighting mechanics changed. If you remember the general tactic of MK1 (and I suppose MK2 as well) if you were Sub Zero or Scorpion was to freeze or spear your opponent and then uppercut 'em for maximum damage. In MK3 you would freeze/spear and then combo, so the damage inflicted by the uppercut did not need to be as high. Still a great counter or juggle combo finisher though...

In MK4 they barely did any damage. That's all I've got to say.

Here's the numbers folks:

MK1:24.5%
MK2:24.5%
MK3: 21.5%
UMK3: 21.5%
MKT: 21.5% 4 mentioned MK2 characters do 24.5%
MK4: 18%
MKG: 18%
