nice, found a CPU trap, hp multiple times then run in combo. Wow I learned a new mk3 tactic after 30 years, I used to use Lui kang's bicycle kick then run in combo, or Kabal's roundhouse kick then dash spin move. thats all I knew, like mk2 jump back and kick to make the CPU jump.
In a real playthrough, the CPU seems to get into the High Punch trap more often when you are higher in the tower. Seems like higher difficulty CPU have a tendency to run at your High Punch.
