MAMEWorld Forums - News - Re: Mortal Kombat Proto 4.0 Dumped

Those list of differences would be nice additions to the respective driver files imo.

PCB owners can then see what might be different between the various versions of the MK series and see what their pcb does or does not do.

-----
A few differences found so far:

- Earliest known version of Mortal Kombat in existence
- You cannot play as the same character
- Menu won't allow cursors to pass each other in 2 player selection
- Sub Zero now has new corner infinite (ex. uppercut, freeze and repeat)
- Sub Zero has faster recovery after slide and can go straight into sweep for most instances
- Sub Zero can freeze opponent in air for finish him as he's falling from uppercut, and do fatality in air and body will fall to ground frozen
- Liu Kang can do Flying Kick when you do a HK first in air than F, F HK
- Raiden can now do Torpedo after doing a JK for more combo possibilities
