Kintaro

Who is he?

With Goro dead during the first tournament, Shao Kahn needed a successor to lead his armies. Kintaro was chosen for this role. Kintaro is younger, stronger and more agile than his predecessor and is furious about Goro's defeat. He has sworn to slaughter all Earth warriors whom he holds responsible for this failure. Like Goro, he belongs to the Shokan race.

His moves

Before facing Shao Kahn, you must first fight this four-armed mountain of muscle. Despite his imposing size, this monster is very fast both in his strikes and his jumps. Never fight him up close. If he gets close anyway, give him a good uppercut. Take advantage of his jumps and warrior stance (on the left) to hit him.

Fireball

Cette boule de feu est rapide mais reste le coup de Kintaro le moins puissant. Elle vous expédira assez loin mais vous pouvez la parer contrairement à sa projection et à son écrasement.

Stomp

Kintaro jumps very high (he goes off screen) and lands on you. This attack removes more than 1/3 of your health. Try jumping in a direction and kick when he passes by. Watch the shadow on the ground.

Grab

This attack also hurts a lot (1/4 of your health) and cannot be blocked with "R". So don't get too close.

Uppercut

Like the grab, this attack removes about 1/4 of your health. However, it has the advantage of being blockable and sending you very far away.
