Exactly the same as Version 2.0

The only thing fixed was a nasty CPU bug which was making the computer extremely easy to beat

	minutes to see the endings, then never play it again.

	then each player chose either Sub-Zero or Scorpion as 1 of their 2 characters, when the match

	began, one of each player's characters would be a bloody corpse! The skeletons would fight

	each other.  Remark "Meat Lives" made on Ed Boon's MK4 Page
