TL;DR In Mortal Kombat 2, the main roster of characters is available from the start. However, there are secret characters that can be accessed through specific gameplay actions.
Base Roster and Secret Characters
Mortal Kombat 2 features a base roster that includes popular characters such as Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Johnny Cage, Reptile, Sub-Zero, Shang Tsung, Kitana, Jax, Mileena, Baraka, Scorpion, Raiden, and others [2]. In addition to these, there are secret characters like Smoke, Jade, and Noob Saibot. These characters are not unlocked through traditional means but can be encountered during gameplay by meeting certain conditions.
Unlocking Secret Characters
To encounter and fight against the secret characters in Mortal Kombat 2, players must perform specific actions:
Smoke: To fight Smoke, press Down + Start when Dan Forden's "Toasty!" appears on the screen during a match on The Portal stage.
Jade: To face Jade, win a round using only low kicks (LK) before the question mark match. This will lead to a fight with Jade.
Noob Saibot: To battle Noob Saibot, you need to win 50 matches consecutively. This will trigger a match against him.
These secret battles are challenging and require precise timing and skill to unlock.
Considerations
While the base roster of Mortal Kombat 2 is available from the beginning, unlocking and fighting the secret characters adds an extra layer of challenge and excitement to the game. These encounters are designed to test your skills and provide a unique experience beyond the standard gameplay.
I bought a pack that let's me have all the characters but I can't get the last four characters for some reason.
At first I thought I had to play more with just like the other characters but I still don't seem to get them anytime soon.
What should I do In order to obtain all the characters?
did you complete the story?
i believe thats how i got my characters unlocked, i could be wrong though, its been years
Buy the dlc pack, if you did, install them
Who are you missing
Yeah, you're right, It was DLC. The missing characters are alien, leatherface, bo'rai'cho, and triborg. And the strange thing Is: We downloaded them all, so I don't get the reason why they haven't come yet In the game.
We have
Top row: Random Select, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Johnny Cage, Reptile, Noob Saibot Middle row: Smoke, Sub-Zero, Shang Tsung, Kitana, Jax, Jade Bottom row: Mileena, Baraka, Scorpion, Raiden
Awesome.
Rules
This may be controversial but I want this to be accurate so any characters who died in MK1 like Sindel and even Subzero (now that he’s Noob) cannot return
15 Kameos only 7 of them being veterans from the last game and 8 newcomers

See title, been playing this gem lately but trying to get them all fast
Wow..
Really??
First comments should be playing this game....
Play and enjoy the game and unlock them as you go ..
No download... no overheating your console.
No paid dlc
Old skool grind and learn more techniques as you play.
He wants to play the game, but all the characters are locked.
This. Plus you get far more points in a much shorter amount of time by playing the game compared to torturing your console night after night.
Use a save that has them unlocked.
Either that or open training mode and leave the game running for hours. You'll get points to buy characters, the longer the game runs.
So if one just leaves the character still, you get points? lol
Yep 😎
Options given to you so far:
-Bringing in a 100% save
-Training mode point farm
-Playing game as intended
My method:
-Burn a "Codebreaker Loader V0.1" CDI and use that before the game to enable cheat codes
Tell me more about this, Codebreaker Loader
Google "codebreaker loader CDI download" or something along those lines, download, burn cd, boot cd, you'll get asked to insert your game CD and it will bring up the codes for the game you inserted. Select/enable the desired codes and boot game.
Download and burn DreamExplorer and install a 100% save to your VMU

12 Veterans from the previous MK1 Game and 13 Newcomers who haven’t been in the roster

Sub Zero (Kameo)
Since he isn’t playable, maybe a klassic incarnation of Sub can be a Kameo?
Eh since he can’t be a base character it would be weird having him as a Kameo
Plenty of characters who weren’t playable ended up as Kameos though. It would be an alternate universe counterpart so he wouldn’t get tied down by lore reasons
Reptile
Attempting to get the ninjas out of the way, the version of Reptile in MK1 is imo the best he’s ever been. I’d love if he came back for the next one
Yeh I loved this version of reptile as well
Taven (I love him he have some much potential for stories but he was so underused barley appearing past Armageddon)
Hsu Hao as Kameo
(Worst Kameo in the game making him a joke character)
Weird way to spell best
I love Hsu Hao but he is the hated one of the characters of MK so if they bring him back they would Treat him like a pushover
What are your guys thoughts on unlockable characters? Do you think there are any? If so, who do you think will make it? Personally I'm not too sure because the website shows empty slots but the roster screen in game doesn't
People already finished the story mode and unlocked a lot of stuff in the Krypt. The Frozen girl is the only unlockable. She's the only blank slot anyway
The only konfirmed unlockable is Frost, unlocked by beating Chapter 4. If there were any others, they would be leaked by now. Perhaps Cyrax?
True, unless there are more unlockables in the krypt
no one has seem to even scratch the service of the krypt as of now. so it’s still possible
the whole “secret characters” thing looks to by pointing at the npc fighters in story mode tho. we’ll see
cyrax and sektor are unlockable
There’s no proof that they are anything but NPC’s you fight in the story.
A guy on youtube already showed the leaked images of cyrax n sektor fighting.
They’re NPCs in story.
You can add Sheeva to that list.
Why sheeva?
She is in the story mode.......i think thats the only reason.
While I want there to be, no. The unlockable leak list was debunked the second Shang Tsung was announced as DLC.
Frost is the equivalent of Shinnok in MKX, brainiac in IJ2 and Cyber-sub in MK9.
And that’s it, leaving the kyrpt purely for cosmetics and cool side content.

Sonya Blade
It would be weird to have her since Johnny hasn’t even met Sonya in this new world
I mean, could just be time travel but I changed it anyway
Kameo: Fujin (I know Common wants him as a base character I think he would be better off as a Kameo)
😥
Funny how they updated not so long ago Cyber Smoke voice lines and intro but never released the skin
Not to mention the union of light Ermac that’s been in the files since launch
Ohh yeah, that one stings.
And added fucking deception Havik gear but no skin even tho it’s one of the most requested skins for a character not seen in 20 years, who likely won’t be in the next game…. And also has 0 premium skins
Thats how we know game ended , they said the movie skins will be released later this year (September, october) , and now they just said "you know we fumbled this game again so here you go"
It’d be cool if they could make the store not a rotating one now but why would they care
Despite its current issues, Tekken 8 does it best where every single premium/legacy skin is available to buy whenever
Same energy as the 95 skins from the last game. One last fart of an update and then cutting support right after.
They gonna stretch in a way that tweet about ending support will be go online only after this year Final Kombat (lol)
That's for sure, they won't tweet anything like that before September but makes you wonder why they had to release the skins like that and rebrand the bundle into definite edition. It came 2 days after Warners' earning report that was disastrous, maybe they are hoping to get a quick buck from selling this bundle now as an emergency cash injection. XD
We dont even have a trailer for the film but sure...
and you can get all of these though the definitive edition that just came out
“Here is the Lu kang skin you have waited for after 2 years, also the game is over”

And luckily the internet is full of resources that tells you all of them. Here's IGN's: https://www.ign.com/wikis/mortal-kombat-1/List_of_Fatalities_-_All_Button_Inputs_and_Codes
This was also how it worked in MK11, so I thought it'd be common knowledge, but I've seen some comments in other threads of players mad they have to unlock it. Pretty easy to just write it on a sticky note for the characters you play. :)
But unlike the previous game the input doesn’t save in the move list.
This may surprise you, but every MK game has new players.
PSAs aren't always new information, just information that people need to know to make their lives easier.
No one ever said otherwise ;)
Thank you for saying this I was so shocked with I accidently I put in the input for the second scorpion fatality
I'm pretty sure this is how it worked since forever
I know, but there are people who don't know that. Hence the PSA for the newer players.
I didn’t know so thank you, mate.
