!Story!
*-----*
 Five hundred years ago, Shang Tsung was banished to the Earth realm by
his master Shao Khan. There he was to open up a gateway for his master, by
upsetting the Earth realm's natural balances. Tsung dominated the Mortal
Kombat tournament, and had almost reached his goal when his dominance came to a 
smashing end at the hands of Liu Kang, a Shaolin monk.
 Tsung returned to the Outworld a shame. He had failed his master, and his
Shokan pupil, Goro, had apparently perished. Tsung however, developed a new
plan, which he told his master. Kahn was delighted by this idea, and spared
Tsung's life. Khan would have no failures this time. Kahn swiftly defeats his
opponents, and sets his sights once again on Earth. Shao Kahn quickly begins to
take souls from the population of Earth, except for a few, chosen by Raiden to
protect the Earth Realm. Each warrior has their own reason to be alive, and now,
with the battle lines drawn, the Kombat Kontinues..............

!Moves Key!
*---------*
   While reading this FAQ, you may refer to this key to translate some things
you may not understand. (The moves are listed in a format similar to that of the
Mortal Kombat II FAQ.)
 
Quarter Circle Towards: Move the joystick from the Down position to the Towards
                        position.
Quarter Circle Away: Move the joystick from the Down position to the Away
                     position.
Half Circle Away: Move the joystick from the Towards position to the Away
                  position.
Half Circle Towards: Move the joystick from the Away position to the Away
                     position.   
Down - Up: Move the joystick from the Down position to the Up position.
Charge [B] (X): Hold the specified button [B] for X seconds.
Hold: Hold the specified button(s) while performing the move.
Release: Release the button you held during the maneuver.
 
Fatality: When you have beaten your opponent the best two out of three, you can
          do him/her in the old MK way!
The Pit III Fatality: The motion for the Pit III Fatality in v2.0 has changed 
                      since v1.0, and is now different for each character.
                      Your opponent will be knocked off of the bridege, and into
                      the Pit, where they land on spinning blades, and are.....
                      *DICED,MINCED*...........The Point of view for the Pit
                      this time around, is the same as MK1. (You see them fall
                      from the side.)
Mercy: If you don't want to finish your opponent quite yet, you can grant them
       Mercy! This gives them some extra energy, so you can beat each other
       around a bit more. This move is also the same for each character.
       Mercy, however, can only be granted in the third round.
       Mercy: ?? CAN MERCY BE GRANTED IN 2.0 ??
Animality: To perform an Animality, you must use all kicks during the final
           round, and grant your opponent mercy during the final round.
           Then, when it again says 'Finish Him!/Her!' you must perform the
           character's animality. Since Mercy has yet to be found in 2.0,
           it may not be necessary to grant it in order to do an Animality.
Battle Ascension: In certain Kombat Zones, such as "The Subway", if you clip
                  your opponent with an uppercut, they go flying up through
                  the ceiling, and you follow. You then continue the match on
                  the streets. Battle Ascension is present on the following
                  stages: Soul Chamber, The Subway, and, The Bank. If you
                  do Battle Ascension on your opponent, the order in which
                  the stages come will reset to the first background. So, if
                  you wish to do a Pit Fatality, stay away from uppercuts on
                  those stages.
Subway Fatality: In "The Subway" you can knock your opponent onto the tracks, 
                 where they are subsequently run over by a passing train. Use   
                 the same Joystick motion as the Pit III Fatality.
Kahn's Tower Fatality: In "Kahn's Tower" you can knock your opponent up into
                       the air. They will come down on the floor, and begin to
                       smash through the next six floors, landing on spikes at
                       the bottom. This is done with the same joystick motion
                       as the Pit III Fatality.
Babality: In order to perform a Babality, you must go your entire winning
          Round without using the Block button at all.
Friendship: Once again, as in MK ][, you can do a Friendship on your opponent.
            Why a Mortal Kombatant would want to make nice with his/her opponent
            I have no clue, but, to do a Friendship, you must not use the Block
            button in the winning round.
Random Selection: In order to randomly select a character, you must push Up
                  on the joystick at the same time you press start. (Player
                  One's selector must be on Tsung, and Player Two's must be
                  on Liu Kang.)

--Motaro-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Motaro is a member of a centaurian race that is the natural enemy of Shokan,
Sheeva's race. He was chosen to be the leader of Shao Kahn's extermination
squads.
 
 It is fairly easy to defeat Motaro, so long as you follow one rule: do NOT use
ANY special move on him. If you fire a projectile, it will bounce right back
at you, and Cyrax's bombs simply disappear without exploding. The main attack
Motaro falls for is this: jump in, so that you land slightly in front of him,
and throw a combo. He will get hit by it. If the first few hits are blocked, he
will usually stop blocking sometime during the combo.

--Shao Kahn---------------------------------------------------------------------
 Shao Kahn is emperor supreme of the Outworld, and has now taken over the Earth.
This tournament is the last chance for the Earth Warriors to stand up to Kahn.

 Shao Kahn fights almost the same as he did in MK ][, but he has a few new 
attacks. However, be wary when he laughs or taunts. He is not stupid, as was the
case in Part ][. He will attack YOU when you get near enough.
