	Dude, Liu-Kang's gotta be one of the best fighters in Mortal Kombat.
Even against a veteran playing Johnny Cage, you still stand a good chance if
you know how to play him.

	Against Kano's failed rolling attack, you can get a four-hit combo:

	First block the rolling ball, then walk a bit forward (since you are
getting pushed back by blocking) and do two high punches, a fireball, and then
a fly kick (all must be done in quick succession).  That takes out almost 50%
of his hit points.

	Reserve your uppercuts and only use it when people try to jump-kick
you.

	As for Goro, this took me a while to figure out.  On most other 
fighters, you can basically do the jump-kick, jump back and jump-kick again
routine, but Liu-Kang's jump-kick has an agonizingly short reach, or maybe 
it's just he's a bit faster than everybody else.  What I did was to jump back
when you start the round to gain space (if he jumps, KICK while you jump back)
and then do a forward jump-kick and hope for the best.  If it hits, you can
try the jump-kick, jump back combo, but occassionally throw a fireball or two
when you jump back to throw Goro off guard, because if you keep up the jump-
kick and jump back routine, he'll catch you and pound you off.  When Goro's
almost done, you can even use jump-punch and then a fly-kick combo.  Beautiful.
