actually, you can get three hits on goro with liu kang.  Whenever you
land a jump kick you can follow it up with: fire-ball, flying kick.

looks pretty cool.  almost as cool as hop-punching him to death in the
corner with one of the hop punchers (kano, raiden, cage)

easiest way to get a jump kick to hit is to run away and wait for goro
to throw a missile at you.  you can block it and jump in, he wont
usually block to kick.  OR if you time it just right you can jump over
the missile as he fires it... it's pretty easy to tell when he's gonna
do it.  He'll walk at you... stop short for a good second or so, and
then go for the missile.
