then you're a bad newb lol
he's freakin cake on novice
pick ANY character, go to moves list, learn a couple multi-hit combos, preferably a style brancher and bust it out on him. Some times he'll just stand there. Putting it on one-round fights might help you too. Knock over a kamidogu to help you get started on a combo if you really need it.

:0.. Dont worry. Practice with someone you like and face him again. If you think thats bad imagine maximum difficulty. Just keep attacking him with a short combo or a weapon combo which for most characters are short. I wooped the Dragon King in less than 15 seconds each round! lol

Liu Kang or Shujinko.
Bicycle Kick him to death.
Simple.

The stylechanging combos work fine for the dragon king :)
I kill him now with 5 chars.
Thanks for your help guys.
PS: If my english is bad, sorry. I'm from germany :)

There's two easy ways I did this(I beat him 5 times, but here's where I easily beat him):
1)Pick Liu Kang
2)Stay on his first style
3)Keep punching him and kicking him. Liu is really fast in this department. This is why I love Liu Kang now.
OR
1)Pick Kenshi
2)Go into his Katana style
3)Keep doing the 2,2,3,3 combo

I've only beat him so far with Sub-Zero, can't remember strategy, and Liu Kang, switch to Nunchucks and keep doing the 1111 combo, and a couple of well timed bicycle kicks.
I play on the Default/Medium setting.
Ka-Tra

Kira makes it easy with back+1, back+2
usually you can pick a weapon combo to stick with it chip away at his hp little by little.
more weapon stance combos that seem to work
try ermac with back+1, li meil with 1,1, 2

I find that repeatedly bashing him with a longish weapon combo works great--preferably people like Sindel, Jade, Hotaru or Kenshi because of their long reach.

Onaga is just Moloch again. Just keep performing combos on him. I'm not that great at the game, and I still got a flawless victory against him on default setting, so he shouldn't really be a problem for anyone.

Come on man he's nothing. I already capped him on every difficulty with sub-zero first, then Jade, then Scorpion, and finally Ermac. Onlin portion is really taking up my time.

I confirm with you all guys. He's really easy with combos :)

With Kabal, just stay in his first style and do his 1, 1, up+3 combo over and over.
It's the same thing with every fighter, just find the best combo or the best move and do it over and over.
This is an example of why the fight engine needs work. It sucks being forced to use this boring strategy over and over.

ya if you use 4 bicycle kicks hes gone...or just use the combos over and over. but you have to admit that onaga is harder than moloch in a few departments...long range especially...usually what gets me is when he throws me, then keeps makin wind gusts and fireballs as im coming towards him.
some of the harder characters for me to beat him with were kabal and noob-smoke. simply because these characters ,while having their ups against normal agile fighters, didnt have propper combos for onaga. like someone said kabals best was 1,1, U+3 and noob smokes best was just teleportin around him whenever he did something and doin a style branch combo (they only had two because no weapon). even this was sorta slow. those two fighters just had bad recovery on their combos so you couldnt keep goin. ermac on the other hand recovers faster than any1 i know with that 2,2,2 combo.
and I hope that in the next MK they dont have any huge fighters, while these arent bad in looks they are bad for gameplay because your forced to keep repeating your fastest moves. I think there needs to be a much more fast and agile character. Ive always had my eye on kenshi being evil because I think that the souls in his sword might grow tired of it and bust out and enter his body or something and control him. from these souls his telekinetics would be like multiplied X10 so in the match he would be flying shooting down maybe explosive telekinetic bolts and stuff like that and you would have to dodge them because if you blocked you would probably get hit by a few more. the only time you could kill him would be when he swooped down to attack you or something like that. just a thought

Ok here is how you beat the Dragon king...WITH ANY CHARACTER!
First go into options
set difficulty to novice (you have probably already done that)
set round time to 20
Now when fighting the dragon king just you a cheap combo like square, square, square, staying very close to him.
Do it over and over, never stoppping. Sometimes he will block other times you will hit him, after every little combo you do block quickly and then continue again.
The time will run out quickly and you will win, this is how I got everyones ending in a very short time.

They don't need to get rid of the big characters, they just need to fix the fighting engine so it works better with them.
I like the MK giant boss tradition and I'd like for the bigs to keep coming.
It's just a personal preference, they can just have a normal guy with lot's of powers as a boss, but I like the giants a lot so I'd like to see them stay.
