Change Fighting Order
When at the "Chose Your Destiny" screen, Press Start on the controler. This will make the highlighed Tower rotate and a new line-up of fighters will become sellectable, some fighters will even be replaced. This is great to keep the 1 player game interesting.

Cheat Menu
On the Title Screen, choose Options. Highlight Continues and hold Run and Block (C-Left and C-Down are the default buttons for Run and Block) until a special options menu appears. To exit the menu, highlight Exit and press the A Button.

Fast Draw
While you're doing a combo (eg. multiple punches - HP, HP, HP, LP, LP, LP) press the directional keys and buttons for your fighter's weapon (eg. Forward, forward, HK for Scorpion's Jagged Sword), and it will be there in a flash.
NOTE: If you keep pressing HP or LP right after you pull your weapon out, you'll knock your opponent out before he/she can do anything about it!

Johnny Cage's 100% Combo
Pick Johnny Cage, then start your game. Get as close as possible to your opponent, then hold FORWARD and randomly keep hitting HIGH PUNCH. The game won't say it's a 100% combo but you'll see.
NOTE: This does not work against Goro.
