The way I won a Mortal Kombat 3 tournament was simply by playing Cyrax, dropping bombs, when a person jumps at me, I hit them with a huge net, they will either get hit by the bombs (one "long bomb", one "short bomb") or I will uppercut them, jump in for a kick, which they won't block (since you have to press a separate button to block instead of just hitting "back" like most 2D fighters), and then I'll do it all over again. I went through a few rounds where I was never even hit. Another strategy is to play as Kabal and keep doing his tornado run move; while the computer will block it, a human opponent almsot never does. Do that, upercut, before they even get up, do it again, uppercut, do it again, uppercut, congratulations! You won the round! I mean, I'm good at the game, I just don't like it now that I've actually played fighting games that force you to actually think.
ANYWAY... MISCHIEF MAKERS is one of the best games ever. Anyone remember that issue of GameFan where they gave Mischief Makers like 99/98/99 scores and then gave Goldeneye high 80 scores? Haha. That's why I loved Gamefan. (granted, Goldeneye was a better game, but Gamefan were so hardcore about "IT'S 2D! ON A NEXT GEN SYSTEM! THEREFORE IT IS THE BEST GAME EVER! AUTOMATICALLY!! BUY THIS GAME! MAYBE THEN, HERMIE HOPPERHEAD WILL COME TO AMERICA! EVEN THOUGH IT'S
HORRIBLE! BUT IT'S 2D! ON A SYSTEM FOR 3D GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!").
Treasure basically does no wrong, except for Stretch Panic, which is absolute garbage. Every other game they ever released is awesome, even Light Crusader and that stupid Ronald McDonald Treasure Island game. Mischief Makers is fun as hell. I like how some of the last levels are similiar to Gunstar Heroes' last levels. Epic boss fights, of course.
