How to Kill Motaro in Ultimate Mortal Combat

Defeating Motaro

• 1

  Do a jump-kick away from Motaro immediately when the fight begins, as he usually opens with a tail-sweep or fireball attack.

• 2

  Use jump-kicks or teleport attacks to stun Motaro and create openings for further attacks. Scorpion's mid-air teleport attack is particularly useful. Do not use projectile attacks, as Motaro will simply send them flying back at you.

• 3

  Run in and perform a combo attack when Motaro is stunned. Successful combo attacks are crucial to defeating Motaro.

• 4

  Jump-kick away from Motaro if he blocks any of your attacks, including combos. He might counterattack by grabbing and punching your character.

• 5

  Keep on the offensive. If you allow Motaro to corner you, the fight becomes more difficult. Keep moving and attack him at any opportunity.

• 6

  Attack Motaro whenever he grunts and jumps at you -- this is when he is most vulnerable. You can even land a successful uppercut if you are quick enough.

• 7

  Study Motaro's patterns and learn his weaknesses if you continue to have difficulty with the fight. Note the range and timing of his attacks; his tail-sweep could give you the opportunity to perform a successful jump-kick, while his fireball might leave him vulnerable to a quick combo.
