/vr/ - Retro Games

First one I remember forking over cash for was this for SNES for 10 bucks from someone at school. He was a nasty fat fucker and it had to be cleaned and still didn't run great, but hey, I LOVED this game.

Toasty!

Holy shit this game is ridiculously difficult.
It's like they can predict your every move.

Is 91% alcohol good enough for cleaning a dirty Genesis cart that won't read?

An arcade opened near my house that features nothing but glorious retro vidya and they're holding a Mortal Kombat 2 tourney soon. I've played a bit of MK2, but as a scrub player I'd like to hear any tips, tricks, or stories about the game.

Are there some basic general strategies that I should master before moving on to specific character movesets? Are any of the characters particularly harder or easier to get the hang of? Got any nostalgia that you'd like to share?
