     First off, I think that the computer in MK2 is not too hard.  I think that
people have forgotten how hard the computer was in MK1 if you don't think so thats fine, but I think it was incredibly hard at first.  The computer in MK2 is just difficult now because your not used to his new strategy, and aren't used to the moves of any one character yet.  I was able to beat the first computer player fairly easily and was one shot away from beating the second before the arcade closed, had I not been experimenting I'm sure I could have passed the second.

     Someone did the fatality yesterday, though now I'm not sure anyone can reproduce it.  So far that I know, scorpian's fatality (one of them) is to be one body length away, and use block up up and then block and the top two buttons (high punch and high kick).  Its something like this in any case.

     things that don't make sense:
     Yesterday while playing Shang Tsung, I successfully morphed into subzero time and time again by doing forward down forward and high punch.  Later that same day, I could not (nor could anyone else) reproduce this move.  likewise, my friend and I both did forward down forward high kick while playing shang tsung and
we turned into two different characters.

This sounds stupid, but it appears that (for at least morphing) it is dependent
on some other factor besides just button presses.  Playing shang tsung now, I have ALWAYs been able to get three morphs off:  the two women are tapping block and holding down high punch and letting go, and scorpian is block up up.  the
rest i've changed into at one time or another but can't seem to reproduce it.

Further moves:  lui kang:  apparently his bicycle kick is holding block and low
kick down, and then letting go of block and then letting go of low kick.  I haven't gotten it to work.

most of the credit for these moves go to other people, I'm just posting them because no one else seems to have.

I'll be back with more if no one else does.

P.S. subzero's floor freeze is revere fireball (thats forward swing to backward)and low kick.
