Mortal Kombat II (rev L1.4)

Arcade 1993 Midway Fighter Versus
Mortal Kombat II is a direct sequel to the 1992 original featuring new fighters (increasing the character roster from 7 to 12) and improved graphics.

As with its predecessor, MKII's matches are divided into rounds, with victory awarded to the first player to win two rounds. At the point of defeat, the losing fighter will become dazed and the winner is given the opportunity to execute a 'finishing move'.

Some of the standard fighting moves (moves shared by all characters) have now been expanded or enhanced. A crouching punch has been added and the 'roundhouse kick' is more powerful and now knocks opponents across the screen. Also, the difference in hit boxes between high and low kicks is now more marked.

Additionally, returning characters gain new special moves and MKII marks the first appearence of multiple Fatalities - as well as additional, non-lethal finishing moves - in the series. In addition to the Fatalities of its predecessor, MKII offers 'Babalities' (turning a defeated opponent into a crying baby), 'Friendships' (a non-malicious interaction, such as dancing or giving a gift to the defeated opponent) and stage-specific Fatalities (the winner uppercutting their opponent into an abyss below, spikes above, or a pool of acid in the background).

Each character still shares generic attributes - speed, power, jump height and airtime - albeit with differing hit boxes. The sequel drops the points system of its prequel in favour of a consecutive win tally.

WIP:
- 0.146u4: ebo0763 dumped and added clone Mortal Kombat II (rev L2.0). Renamed (mk2r32) to (mk2r32e).
- 29th January 2012: Mr. Do - Mortal Kombat I and II have been updated. After seeing this post at BYOAC, and then looking back at the artwork, I realized I did a crap job on both of these. So... I redid the instruction cards for both, and added the improved marquees from Lord Hiryu, along with the control panels (all scans originally from the BYOAC / CAG artwork).
- 0.140u2: TerryMasters added clone Mortal Kombat II (rev L1.1).
- 19th November 2010: Smitdogg - TerryMasters dumped MKII Revision 1.1. Here are some differences he has found so far from other sets: Earliest known version of the game. Free Play on by default. Demo has changed - text is centered, title comes before fight demonstration and bios missing.
- 0.134u2: Andy Welburn added clone Mortal Kombat II (rev L3.1 (European)).
- 3rd October 2009: Smitdogg - Andrew Welburn dumped Mortal Kombat 2 Rev.3.1 (European) and Phil Bennett has it hooked up.

- 9th July 2008: Mr. Do - Mortal Kombat I and II didn't actually have bezels, just generic bezels with an instruction card and other stickers. Changed the artwork to both to be a marquee and an instruction card. (Anyone notice that on the actual instruction card, the dragon symbols aren't actually aligned; that is correct).

- 0.125u2: Removed button 6.
- 0.122u6: Changed TMS34010 CPU1 clock speed to 50MHz.
