In the original "Mortal Kombat" (1992) video game, each character has a set of special moves that can be executed using specific joystick and button combinations. Here's a list of the seven playable characters from the game and their special moves: 1. **Johnny Cage**: - Green Bolt: Back, Back + High Punch - Shadow Kick: Back, Forward + Low Kick - Split Punch: (Close to opponent) Block + Low Punch 2. **Kano**: - Cannonball: Hold Block (3 seconds), then release - Flying Knife: Down, Forward + High Punch 3. **Raiden**: - Lightning: Down, Forward, Low Punch - Teleport: Down, Up - Torpedo: Back, Back, Forward 4. **Liu Kang**: - Fireball: Forward, Forward + High Punch - Flying Kick: Forward, Forward + High Kick 5. **Scorpion**: - Spear: Back, Back + Low Punch - Teleport Punch: Down, Back + High Punch 6. **Sub-Zero**: - Freeze: Down, Forward + Low Punch - Slide: (Hold Low Kick + Back + Low Punch) then release Low Kick 7. **Sonya Blade**: - Ring Toss: Back, Back + Low Punch - Leg Grab: Down + Block + Low Kick - Square Wave Flight: Back, Forward + High Punch Remember that the game uses a five-button layout: High Punch, Low Punch, High Kick, Low Kick, and Block. Additionally, some moves require the player to be at a specific distance from their opponent, such as Johnny Cage's Split Punch. Executing these moves during gameplay allows players to gain a tactical advantage by surprising opponents or countering their attacks, which is a fundamental aspect of the strategy in "Mortal Kombat." Keep in mind that the effectiveness of special moves can vary based on your timing, the distance from your opponent, and your ability to combine these moves into combos or use them to strategically outplay your opponent in a fight.
