I couldn't play for shit on Side 2. Gimme Side 1 and I'll rock all day long.
There
was a "jumping" loophole you could use with certain characters on side 1
that
took a little timing to work but you'd end up wining the fight with
uppercuts.

They key was to use any of the male ninjas, Cage, Shang, Jax, and Baraka.
When
the CPU would get close to you, jump backwards. If you time it right, the
CPU will
either high punch the air or will stop dead in their tracks for a split
second
then leap at you. You'll be on the ground to upper cut them out of the air 9
times out of
10. You have to time it right otherwise that high punch will hit you in the
feet and knock
you back. If you get cornered, let the CPU toss you then continue the
"jumping back"
technique to goad them into leaping at you again. This only works on Side 1
with those
fighters I mentioned. If you try it on side two, the CPU will do a
straight-up jump kick ever
single time (unless you're Kung Lao - which may miss and you'll be able
bullet kick them
out of it).

I'd love to play MAME but I can't. All I have for a PC joypad is that
3DFX/Interact
HammerHead FX (the original SV-262) and InterAct apparent will not be making
WinXP
drivers for this version of the HammerHead due to legalities (since Nvidia
bought the 3Dfx name and assets). And I don't know if the Win9x drivers for
it
will work with XP. Haven't wanted to risk trying them. Pisses me off...
