That one was good, indeed. I think my all time fav though would have to be Mortal Kombat 2 on the SNes. I was unstoppable on that. That was also the last time that "Shang Sung" was "Shang Sung". If you knew every characters moves he was the ultimate character. He could change into ANY other character and had ALL of their moves, including their fatalities. 

Actually I used to try to win the match as subzero and freeze them and then morph into another character and do their finishing move.  Created a lot of interesting results.

All you had to do is block the initial hit which always left them open for a throw.

I'm not much for fighting games, but do get one every now and then if it looks fun enough. Last one was Dead or Alive 3 so I guess I'm about due and that new MK does look sweet. Played a bunch of UMK3 on Saturn back in the day.
