Shao kahn likes to taunt alot so attack him while he is or just attack him with moves that can be done from far away
In the last battle with shao kahn he does not taunt which means that you can not beat him....
Shao Kahn DOES taunt you in the last battle! That's the best time to attack him. Here are 2 strategies to beat him with Raiden on beginner:
Strategy with least effort:
Stay far away, spam with lightning bolts, duck his spears, jump over the axes TOWARD Shao Kahn, teleport away from him, and wait for time to run out.
Strategy for close combat:
Teleport behind Shao Kahn when he spams you with spears or axes, uppercut him immediately, then electrocute him.
Plus, it can't really hurt much to shoot lightning bolts at him.
Ok, inorder to beat shoa kahn, jump far of him and he will start lauphing, jump and uper cut him then do the same jump far when he talk he says like you will die or hahaha jump and upercut him jus what I did
If you want to beat shao khan without having the time run out all you have to do is this: when the battle starts just to be safe press the block. Once safe jump over him and press x,x,x until the combo is over. When that happens just do it over and over again until you win this will work but it might take time to time it right
This one works fine:
Keep as much distance as you can from Shao Khan and wait for him to start throwing stuff.
If he throws a spear: teleport, jump over him IMMEDIATELY,uppercut him from behind, take distance again, repeat.
If he throws a hammer:teleport and uppercut immediately.
If/when he taunts: you can teleport and uppercut, or you can just throw a lightning to be safe.
I just finished story mode on hard and it took me 4 hours to figure out the exact technique needed to defeat him(wish I knew about this site last night,lol) the "keep distance and teleport when he throws" is 100% spot on. But it isn't that easy as his health barely moves 1mm when ya uppercut him and if he gets a combo on you half your life is gone. So you can really only have 1 mistake per round to succeed. My big tip is to just keep calm and stick to the simple steps because 1 wrong directional hit means certain death. good luck
The way I found to finaly have defeated SHAO was simalar to most other of the answers or replys on this site and I have found that you can use this strategy with almost any of the players,it may seem like it is an unfair way,ormaby even a glitch but this is what I have had too do several times..(TRY AND STAY CROUCHED AND HOLDING THE R2 BLOCK POSITION UNTILL YOUR OPPONENT IS NEAR AND THEN USE 🔺 THIS WILL UPER CUT YOUR OPPONENT WELL THEY ARE FLYING IN THE AIR APPROACH THEM QUICKLY BE FOR THEY GET UP TO PROCEED TO CONTINUE HAVE THE SAME APPROACH YOU SCHOLD BE ABLE TO BE CROUCHED AND READYVFOR YOUR NEXT UPPER CUT BE FOR THEY HAVE THE CHANCE TO REACT TO YOUR ATTACK..) " note timeing has to be inpecable and you may have to throw in an X-RAY attack. (R2...L2) HERE amd THERE to throw them off but that has helped me defeate my hardest opponents so far..HOPE THIS HELPED
To beat Shao Kahn in the final battle with Raiden, just keep ducking to dodge his spear throws, then teleport behind him and engage the uppercut attack (down + triangle). I've really tried it myself , it worked, it should work for you too
