Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Mortal Kombat 4 - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

** Intermediate Techniques **

Turn-around Jump Kick: Any jump kick after jumping past an opponent.
     Jump over your opponent, turn around in midair, and kick him/her from
     the other side.
Turn-around Jump Punch: Any jump punch after jumping past an opponent.
     Jump over your opponent, turn around in midair, and punch him/her from
     the other side.
Heavy Hit: HP when opponent jumps toward you.
     The heavy hit is a maneuver for more experienced players that delivers a
     hard blow to an opponent who is jumping near you, it inflicts more
     damage than a normal High Punch, but it takes accurate timing.

*                             The Kombo System                             *
****************************************************************************

     MK4 has many "Kombo" styles, most of which take some skill and timing to
perform properly.  They are now limited by "Maximum Damage" at 40%, but the
last hit registers so it can sometimes go up to as high as 50% or above.

     The main Kombo Starters are 1) HP - HK, 2) HP - HP, and 3) HK - HK.  For
Ground Chain Kombos, simply run or walk up to close range and use a starter,
or even jump in with a Light Jump Punch (jumping HP) which even adds an extra
hit and more damage to your Kombo.
     For Air Chain Kombos, perform a starter when you're in contact with the
opponent while in midair.
     You can also add the use of a weapon in Ground Kombos by drawing your
weapon during it, which usually causes an automatic hit.  Other types of
Kombos found in MK4 include individual ones that are done in particular
situations, such as after freezing an opponent in the air when playing as
Sub-Zero.

Universal Kombos
 4-Hit Pop-up Kombo: HP - HP - HK - D + HP
 3-Hit Pop-up Kombo: HP - HP - D + HP
 3-Hit Pop-up Kombo: HK - HK - D + HK
 3-Hit Pop-up Kombo: HP - HK - D + HK
 3-Hit  Basic Kombo: HK - B + LP - LP

****************************************************************************

Introduction to Weapons
 Every character has a weapon that he/she pulls out when the Weapon Draw move
 is used.  When a character is holding a weapon in his/her hands, it will
 drop to the ground if he/she takes a hit.  Once a weapon is laying on the
 ground, either kombatant can pick it up.  To throw a weapon you're holding,
 just do your character's Weapon Draw movement while a weapon is already in
 your hands.  If you're already holding a weapon in your hands, you can't
 pick up another weapon that is laying on the ground, or pick up any other
 objects laying around in the stage you're fighting in.

Objects in the Background
 You can also pick up any objects that are laying around on the floor in
 Goro's Lair, The Well, and The Tomb.  Pick them up the same way you would
 pick up a dropped weapon, but you will immediately throw the object at the
 opponent automatically (you can't hold it).

*                             Basic Strategies                             *
****************************************************************************

     As a beginner, you should try to master a single character first, before
you start with others.  One of the most important basics a beginner to Mortal
Kombat 4 should learn is how to counter your opponents properly:
     - If your opponent jumps at you from a distance approximately two body
       lengths, deliver an uppercut to him/her.
     - If your opponent jumps at you from a distance closer than the above,
       throw a simple High Kick to knock him/her back.
     - If your opponent uses a Special Move that brings him/her close to you
       (such as a Slide or Torpedo Dive), block it and counter with a Kombo.
     Against most opponents, it's a good idea to run at your opponent after
they've done a move and are unable to quickly retaliate.  Basic Kombos and
even rapid High Punches usually work well in this situation.  Side Stepping,
despite 3 second intervals between them, are both good for getting to weapons
as well as getting close to your opponent offensively if you combine it with
running in.  You can also incorporate your weapon into Kombos, both by having
it drawn before doing one, as well as drawing it during one, which actually
adds an automatic hit to your Kombo.

****************************************************************************

 This is basically the arcade version.  When you choose this mode, you will
 see the arcade game's actual main menu:
                           _______________________

  1 on 1 KOMBAT: The traditional Mortal Kombat you've come to expect.  In 1
                 player, you'll choose your fighter, choose a destiny tower,
                 and fight your way up in best-of-3 round fights until you
                 defeat Goro and Shinnok.  In 2 player (just press Start on
                 controller 2 at the Choose Your Fighter screen), it's a
                 single best-of-3 round fight against eachother.
  2 on 2 KOMBAT: A team game played by 2 players controlling 2 characters
                 each.  Best-of-3 round fights, the first to lose both of
                 their characters in a round loses it.  New to the home
                 versions, 2-on-2 Kombat can actually be played by a single
                 player if no 2nd player presses Start.  In 1 player, you
                 choose a team of 2, then fight up a destiny tower of 2-on-2
                 matches VS the CPU.  If you finish this, you will see the
                 normal ending of whoever you used to win the last match.

 Team mode allows you to have fights between teams of up to 5 members each.
 When you choose it, you will be presented with a menu that allows you to
 choose the size of Team 1 and Team 2, and whether each is "HUMAN" or "CPU".
 Each participant fights in a best-of-3 round fight, when one loses, the next
 member of the team faces the winner of the previous fight, and so on, until
 all the members of a team have been eliminated.  This is the screen that you
 will see after a Team match:

 Endurance mode is MK4's rendition of the classic MK1 concept, battle
 multiple opponents one after another.  There are actually three different
 variations of it now:
  Endurance: 1 Player game in which you fight up a Destiny Tower one after
                 another in a series of single-round fights without regaining
                 any energy.  If you beat them all, you will see your
                 character's ending.  If you lose a single round, "GAME OVER"
                 will appear on-screen, and you will have the privilage of
                 seeing your body explode into pieces.
  VS Endurance: 2 Players battle against eachother with using character after
                 another in a series of single-round matches without
                 regaining any energy.  The first one to lose all 15 of
                 his/her characters loses the fight.  The 1st Player always
                 wears the character's 1st outfit, and the 2nd Player always
                 wears the character's 2nd outfit.  The order is always:
                 Scorpion, Raiden, Sonya, Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, Fujin, Shinnok,
                 Reiko, Quan Chi, Tanya, Reptile, Kai, Jarek, Jax, and Cage.
  Ultimate Endurance: 1 Player takes on the CPU in an endless survival
                 against one opponent after another in a series of one-round
                 matches.  You do not regain any energy between opponents.
                 Every round allows you to FINISH HIM/HER, so you can perform
                 a Fatality.  The fight continues until you have been
                 defeated by a CPU opponent, at which time you will see a
                 screen that shows your Body Count (number of opponents you
                 defeated), Perfect Kills (number of Flawless Victories you
                 got), and Fatals (number of Fatalities you have performed).
                 Underneath this stats will be your Ultimate Endurance rating
                 (Beginner, Apprentice, Amateur, etc.)

 Tournament mode is a standard elimination bracket.  When chosen, you will be
 presented with a Tournament Setup menu in which you can choose between four
 or eight participants, and whether to show or skip CPU Battles (fights that
 occur between two CPU-controlled fighters during the course of the
 elimination tournament).  Each of the four (or eight, depending on what you
 chose in the setup menu) can be a Human Player 1, Human Player 2, or CPU
 (you are also allowed to choose the difficulty level of each CPU fighter:
 Novice, Beginner, Warrior, Master, or Master II).  The winner of the
 tournament will be shown celebrating with a trophy and a skinned head.

 and so on until you have had a chance to play as all 15 characters.  You
 will then be able to play as a hidden character, Meat.

Hidden Icon
 Choose "Hidden" to hide your cursor.  Once your cursor is hidden, your
 opponent in a 2-player game wouldn't be able to see who you are choosing
 before he makes his/her choice.  This is now also used for a certain other
 purpose, in the home versions (see Goro and Noob Saibot for details).

Rotating The Icons
 If you just choose an icon with any button normally, you will play as your
 character in his/her Outfit 1, and with his/her Weapon 1.  Rotate the icon a
 certain number of times before choosing the icon to get one of your
 character's other outfits and/or weapons.  In order to rotate an icon, hold
 the START button and press ANY button, while you're highlighting it with
 your cursor.  If you rotate 4 times, you will hear "Excellent" without the
 laugh, it's the same as not rotating at all (this is a way to reverse the
 effect of a previous rotation).

Stage Fatality
 The winner grabs the opponent by his/her left arm and leg, and begins
 spinning, holding the victim at roughly shoulder-height.  The camera view
 switches to a perspective behind the winner, above the shoulder, looking
 toward the helpless victim.  The camera then goes back to a normal view of
 the action, as the winner releases his/her of the opponent, sending him/her
 flying into the large fan on the center of the back wall.  The opponent is
 then mutilated by the large blades of the fan in a shower of fresh red
 blood and falling body parts.  The victim's now-severed head soon flies out
 of the fan, toward the camera, and hits the camera lens with a splat,
 leaving a large stain of blood on it before dropping to the floor below.
