Mortal Kombat Deception Tips & Tricks

Press L at the start menu to reset your profile. Note the three rows of scrolling words. Press A to change the word that appears in the top row. A different word will appear each time A is pressed. The word in the middle row seems to be random each time the menu is entered. The word in the bottom row is always "Deception". At this time, no known effect has been noticed by doing this, but it may be related to the rumored "Super Unlockables" in the game.

There is a side mission in Konquest Mode in Outworld near the spot where Li Mei is standing. Go to the corner of the area behind her and you will find Johnny Cage. If you decide to spar with him, you will have to land a 12-hit combo. Sounds tough, but fortunately, he doesn't fight back. The character you control is chosen at random. Exit out of the fight unless Liu Khang is chosen (yes, you can play as him, but he must be unlocked first). While in his first fighting stance (Jun Fan I believe), scroll down in his moves list until you see his move that links his first two fighting stances together. Use that on Johnny Cage. It will launch him in the air. When he is still airborn, use Liu Khang's signature Flying Bicycle Kick. If you do it right, you should get a 14-hit combo: more than enough to win.

After purchasing an alternate costume, press Start while highlighting the character the costume is for, and it will select their alternate costume. Remember that you have to buy the costume, not the bio.
