I was able to get through the Expert ladder without trouble. Owned Shang and Kintaro... then it happened. Kahn is just absolutely indestructible. How do you beat him on Expert??? It felt the difficulty jumped 10 fold. His moves are obviously way way overpowered and on Expert he almost always has that invincibility shield thing and just walks through and shoulder rapes me. I was using Noob to try and zone him out but he just walks through it.

I luckily got that ladder master achievement since I played with Sektor and was surprised that I beat the ladder without losing a single round with no trouble at all surprisingly 0_0

Shao Kahn is very predictable on any mode. When you knock him down, flip over him and uppercut him. You can shave off about half health on him before he catches on and of course throw in some combos here and there. Never try to fight him head on boss armor will be the end of you.

Well i noticed that is you continue walking back (not just standing far but continuing holding the back button) hell either taunt (most likely) or throw a spear/hammer.

if a taunt will spam projectiles

if spear/hammer jump and repeat

The only way I'll play Arcade ladder on expert, is if I'm playing tag-ladder. I usualy do pretty well on expert tag.

Shao Kahn on expert is still weak against the jump-punch-uppercut routine. Just keep your distance as often as you can and be ready to pounce when the idiot taunts you, You can also literally spam the fuck out of Sindel's low fireballs endlessly if you feel like being an ass and grabbing that Expert Kahn Flawless Victory. It works perfectly cause it goes under his spears and his hammer and if he starts shoulder charging you can do the jump-punch uppercut to push him back and repeat. He is extremely annoying but keep at him and good luck. smile

Yeah I only play expert ladder and at this point Kahn and Goro/Kintaro are pussy cats. How? Simple answer... Cross-ups into punishment combos. Boss AI is extremely vulnerable to cross-ups and most of their attacks have long start up and recovery. So my advice?

- Spend some time in practice mode learning your preferred characters punish combos (High 20% - Mid 30% or higher if possible).

- Learn what combos you can link to cross ups.

- Laugh as you start dominating the bosses on expert.

Yeh, All this ^^^

Dont do the jump punch-uppercut routine, put in the effort and Just figure out two nice combos in the mid 20's or higher and jump over the cunt and get him in the back. Jump punch his ass then launch into one of your prefered characters combos instead of just the simple uppercut. You'll do more damage and you'll naturally become a better player. I Dont see the point or fun in spamming if you dont have to.
