Yo there MK freaxx!

Do any of you out there know some cool&funny trixx on
Mortal Kombat Arcade machine? To give you some examples,
here are some I know...

Johnny Cage

- Fatality 2x: 2 heads on the ground (I heard 3 is possible?)
- Fatality+Shadow Kick: punch head off and then still shadowkick
  the opponent, causing him to be lying on the ground with his
  head on again.
- Fatality+Split Punch: punch head off and then hit opponent in
  da nuts, he has his head again.
- Missed Fatality: he punches but misses bcoz opponent didn't stand
  up yet, opponent is just dangling standing up.

Scorpion

- Finish him/her --> throw+fatality
- Opponent low on power, get him/her with the hook.
  Simultaneously keep hitting with low/high punch (the jab) while
  tapping joystick up: opponent gets further away from you with
  each jab, when he/she is at the right distance you get the fatality.
  This can also be done in a few other ways, but I like this one best.
- When you play against Goro, jump 'in' him, iow. very close to him.
  This only works when he shoots (you jump, he shoots). Then do the
  teleport punch, you will not come from the side of the screen but
  hit him in the front. If you execute a hook right after this the
  screen gets a few bugged lines for a second.
- Shang Tsung motionless in Goro shape: make sure you're all the way
  left of the screen and Shang Tsung (as himself!) all the way right
  of the screen. Then teleport punch him and immediately teleport punch
  back to the left. If you're lucky, Shang Tsung is now Goro, half
  turned and motionless. He'll continue moving though when you go near
  or attack in any way.
- Arcade Reset: win one round against Shang Tsung, then execute the
  previous trick (motionless). Keep walking backwards until the time
  runs out. If you hear a bang, the machine should crash & reset.
  This can probably also be done with a normal time elapse but is
  much more difficult.

Sub Zero

- Frozen fatality: Finish opponent with a sweep, then immediately freeze.
  Now perform the fatality.
- Arcade Reset: In the mirrormatch freeze the CPU Sub Zero, stand really
  close and freeze again causing a double ice backfire. He should now
  freeze back again. Respond again with a freeze. If you continue this
  fast enough and close enough, the screen will go funny and finally
  crash & reset. If you do this from a larger distance, the CPU Sub Zero
  can also respond like this, but he will stop after a while and the
  screen can't fuck up.

Lying opponent Fatality:
Is possible for several characters, fe. by waiting with the fatality until
the last moment, the opponent falls to the ground but you still get the
fatality and they stand again.

Air/ducking fatality:
Also possible for several characters, fe. with Kano jump towards and just
before the landing execute the fatality. He will now hang in the air 4 a
second and then do the fatality on the ground. Something like this can also
be done with a ducking fatality (they're ducking for a second, then do the
fatality)

Well I also know some other weird tricks (or only seen them) but I'll
maybe write them another time... So if anyone knows cool tricks like
these, please email (prefered) or post them...

By the way, also cool combo's are wanted!...
(example: Scorpion vs. Kano, Kano does a ball attack, block it, walk a bit
 towards, hit him twice with high jab, teleport punch him, jump kick him,
 hook him, uppercut him... Really cool! Takes away 3/4 of his energy!)
