Different Dead Pool Fatality

This is a weird bug (I think it's a bug) that you do with Sub-Zero at the dead pool. Beat up your opponent until it says FINISH HIM/HER and then do the first part of the Deep Freeze (F, F, D, HK). This should turn your opponent into a big thing of Ice. Now, instead of doing the uppercut that would shatter them (F, D, F, F, HP) do the stage fatality (hold LP and LK then do a regular uppercut) Now, instead of the regular body going into the dead pool, the chunk of ice will.

Green Ball Trick

Note: These codes don't have to be done in two-player mode, but it is extremely hard to do them against the computer, so just fight against yourself.

Bug: This trick is the easiest, so I'll start with it first. Start a two player game. Select Johnny Cage as one player, Liu Kang as the other. At any time do Johnny Cage's rising shadow uppercut. When he has reached the highest point on the screen, catch him with Liu Kang bicycle kick. If you do this right, the game will freeze and sometimes Liu Kang scream will keep repeating at the frozen screen.

Cool new moves: Start a two player game, but this time pick Shang Tsung as both players. During the fight morph into Johnny Cage with player one. Now follow these directions carefully! Move as far into the corner with Johnny as possible, having his back touch the end of the screen. Leave no room! Now repeatedly do his high or low green ball toss. After several times it should disappear. After that do a shadow kick from that location. the process with the econd player Shang Tsung but on the other side of the screen. Once this is done you can let them both morph back. Now the cool part, shoot a fire ball with either Shang Tsung and it will stay frozen in air exactly where you made the green ball disappear. If your opponent hits the frozen projectile he gets hit and loses power like normal. It's unavoidable!

This trick also works with Sub-zero (when morphing) and Lio Kang's fireball.

Invisible hit: Do the same green ball disappearing trick mentioned before with Johnny Cage and do a shadow kick again, but do nothing else! When your opponent comes over to you he will be hit by an invisible obstacle in the place where you did the trick!

Fatality Effects: Pick Cage again and do the green ball trick and a shadow kick in the second round. After this is done move your opponent closer to you BUT DO NOT MOVE HIM TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU DID THE TRICK OR HE'LL GET HIT! Now do sweep your opponent until its time to FINISH HIM. Do Cage's three head knock-off and the first head should stay floating up and down the side of the screen in the place where you did the trick.

Please note that this trick works with all of the characters; not just Cage. Try it with the other's to see what happens.

Note: never have your opponent directly in front of the invisible hit area(the [place where you did the trick) or this could screw up the efects. The only exception is Baraka's body impalement. For that one you need to have your opponent in front of the affected area, but not touching it, so that when Baraka lifts him up he''ll go into the invisible hit area.
