Throwing grenades and firing a gun - my grandma can do that, too. It's not against Michael O'Brian, but Stryker has to be the lamest fighter ever. In some instances the CPU's combo does more damage than yours - what's up with that? Some characters like the cybers or the female ninjas should have been combined into one, while others like Jax and Stryker should have been left out entirely. And she uses both in concert to pound you into the floor. Jade's Projectile Invincibility is totally ludicrous and so is her 34% combo. Smoke's and Reptile's invisibility is totally useless, you can't even see your own player while the CPU knows exactly where you are. Cheap AI: the CPU counterattacks at leisure since it doesn't have to actually push the button combinations, in essence cheating. Some unimaginative fatalities nudalities are still missing, which I consider a major drawback, considering the exceptionally hot female cast :-) Messed up animalities: Sheeva turns into a scorpion and Styker into a T.rex? Those are clearly reserved for Scorpion and Reptile.

Classic Sub-Zero, Human Smoke and Ermac are missing finishers - absolutely unacceptable. The great intro from MK3 is missing completely - character portraits have been replaced by VS screen pictures, most of them are missing.

I've listed some of the most obvious below. It would have been a near perfect game if not for some conceptual flaws and plain bugs/glitches. Even after thirteen years UMK3 (Arcade) is still the best beat'm'up title i can think of.
