Stratagy

People with long range kicks and punches, like Scorpion, can just

stand and wait for their opponent to come, then repeatedly kick

them.  This works well because you inflict a lot of damage upon

them, while they don't even touch you.                   

The second stratagy is the grab and slam.  Just grab your

opponent, and do a move that gets them on the ground.  

Preferrably, a super slam.  Then, walk over to them, pull them

up, and do your super slam again.  Repeat this process up to

three times.  Note some characters can't do this because their

super slam doesn't set them up well for another one.  

The third stratagy is to get you opponent out of the ring

(1 player match only)  then pummle him with the weapons 

outside of the ring.  Hammer Throwing him also works well,

since they hit the railing which takes a good amount of 

energy from him.  

Sometimes, usually on the first opponent, I get him to come 

out of the ring, then I just keep him down on the floor

and barely make it in the 20 count.  This is most easily 

accomplished by hammer throwing him against the far guard

rail when the count is at about 17 or 18.  The only problem

is if the computer doesn't give up right away and manages to

delay your hammer throw, or slam you, you could either end

up losing the match, or getting a D.K.O. (Double Count Out)

Turnbuckles

Once you know how to use the turnbuckle jump effectively,

they are one of the best moves in the game.  To jump off

the ropes, hit jump, then in the air, hit attack.  Hitting

attack while on the turnbuckle will result in some kind of

taunt, which gets the crowd fired up.  As far as I know,

Stinger has the best moves off the turnbuckle.  Turnbuckle

moves take a lot of damage, sometimes as much or more than

the super slams

Give up Holds and Special Pins

Every character has either a special pin, give up hold,

or both.  Give up holds tend to be better, because they

take less time for you to finish you opponent off.  Thus,

making it harder for your opponents partner (in Team Battle)

to knock you off before you can get the three count.

Hope this helps anyone that needs it!
