Mortal Kombat 3 playthrough (PS2) (1CC)
16Playthrough with Cyrax. This version of the game is included on Midway Arcade Treasures 2. It runs too fast when compared to the arcade version, and has some extra problems like music glitches (such as during fatalities). The European version, which is what I'm using, also lacks a 60hz option. Also you cannot permanently unlock Smoke, even though it has an option to save settings -if you want to use him you'll have to enter the ultimate kombat kode every time.
This game has horrible A.I., it's far too difficult and constantly cheats. However with Cyrax you can use his net a lot to get free combos in. The trick is to get close to the opponent, and throw out a net. The opponent will usually try to do a sweep, and instead will get hit by the net. Repeat this to win every time. Cyrax has got some other moves, but his bombs are just useless after the first few opponents, you're much better off using the net, it's his best move.
MK3 Motaro is one of the worst bosses in MK history. He's absolutely ridiculous in this game, and has way too many advantages. Projectiles reflect off of him, and Cyrax's bombs don't work -they don't detonate at all, and just disappear! Motaro's grab has stupid range, and he can often interrupt combos with a grab. His projectile is broken since he can throw them out too quickly, and his teleport is far too fast. The only strat I had was to jump in and do Cyrax's 6 hit combo, or neutral jump as he walks towards you, then combo. But this often doesn't work, he can grab you when you try and start a combo.
Kahn isn't that bad with Cyrax, but it depends on what he does. If he spams his shoulder charge you're in trouble, but if he uses the knee it's ok. The general strat is to get him with a net, uppercut him, then run in and do the 6 hit combo. Then repeat this over and over until he's defeated.
