Unlockables ========== HISTORY ========== 10/24/04- Posted this guide 11/06/04- added more good combos 11/14/04- Corrected stuff and added Li Mei in Konquest section ========== PURPOSE ========== I have written this FAQ to outline the fighter Li Mei. She is one of my favourite characters in the entire series and is very powerful when you know how to use her correctly. Li Mei had an interesting look in MK:DA and a new direction in MK:D with the armour and all. Once you start playing as her, you'll notice her quickness, her array of special moves and especially her big, fat, juicy...COMBOS. This gives every possible piece of information about Li Mei you could ever want. Enjoy. ================= ABBREVIATIONS ================= Back B Forward F Up U Down D --------------------------------------------------------------------- Move Abbreviation PS2 X-Box --------------------------------------------------------------------- Attack 1 1 Square X Attack 2 2 Triangle Y Attack 3 3 X A Attack 4 4 Circle B Change Style CS L1 L Block BL R2 R + indicates to press both buttons at the same time =================== UNLOCKING LI MEI =================== If you want to get your hands on Li Mei's chest (pun intended) here is what you have to do: -Go into konquest mode -Play through the story until you get to Outworld for a second time -Go to the living forest and talk to Kano -He orders you to work in Li Mei's village where the palace is being built -Go into the hut at F-8 where you will find Li Mei -She disappears leaving behind her impressive chest ============ BACKSTORY ============ Status: Student Alignment: Good Weight: 120 lbs Height: 5'8 Styles: Baji Quan and Lui He Ba Fa Weapon: Sais The Deadly Alliance commanded Kano and his troops to force a small population of people to construct a palace fortress. One of those enslaved was Li Mei, who rebelled against the invaders and attacked Kano himself. Recognizing the warrior spirit she possessed, the sorcerer Quan Chi offered to free her people if she could win the Deadly Alliance Tournament. If she did not win, however, she would be forced to serve the Alliance and her people would remain slaves forever. Li Mei had no choice but to accept the offer. Li Mei had been promised that her people would be freed from enslavement if she could win the tournament held by the Deadly Alliance. Now that she had emerged victorious, the true purpose behind the tournament was finally revealed to her. Her soul would be the last one Shang Tsung needed to completely revive the Dragon King's lost army. Her people would never be freed and Li Mei herself would remain trapped inside the mummified remains of a dead soldier... cursed to serve the Deadly Alliance... forever. ========= STORY ========= ------- BIO ------- Place of Origin: Outworld Alignment: Good Allies: Bo' Rai Cho Foes: Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Kano Emerging as the victor of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi's fake tournament, Li Mei fell victim to their evil plans and her soul was transplanted into the mummified remains of an ancient soldier. Although rescued from this fate by master Bo' Rai Cho, Li Mei has been tainted by the warrior corpse her soul temporarily inhabited. ------------------- FIRST PERSON BIO ------------------- I had entered the tournament held by the Deadly Alliance in hopes of winning the freedom of my enslaved town -- I was a naive fool. Shang Tsung and Quan Chi had no intention of rewarding a victor. Instead they prepared to transplant my soul into the last remaining corpse of Onaga's ancient army. Had it not been for the surprise intervention of Master Bo' Rai Cho, I would have become a servant of evil. Master Bo' Rai Cho brought me back to health, and for this I am forever in his debt. The brief moment my soul occupied the warrior corpse changed me in ways I may never fully understand. Master Bo' Rai Cho has trained me well during the time I have spent with him, and I feel a sense of duty to Outworld like never before. But I cannot deny that I feel strangely drawn to a new power taking hold in this realm... --------- ENDING --------- An alliance had been formed of warriors from vastly different origins, but with a similar goal: to defeat Onaga. Li Mei marched uneasily into battle against the Dragon King. The closer she got to him, the more she came to understand which side was truly deserving of victory. Li Mei turned on her former allies and gave her emperor the time he needed to finish merging the Kamidogu. The Dragon King was now all-powerful. He had the means to control the universe, to make and unmake as he saw fit. Li Mei watched in delight as the Elder Gods fled before his might. Onaga then transformed her into his queen, to be forever at his side. He had given her power beyond anything she had ever imagined. Together, they will rule the One Realm and slay the last of the Elder Gods. =============== EARLY LI MEI =============== Li Mei started out very different in earlier deception. At the E3 playable demo, she had her alternate costume as her primary and also gave her the Melon as a weapon (which later became Havik's). One thing which I'm very annoyed at is that the dropped her old Baji Quan fighting style, which was awesome, and gave her the much less desirable Mi Zong fighting style which used to be one of Bo' Rai Cho's fighting styles from MK:DA. Also, for an unknown reason, she is seen in an earlyish screenshot holding Kitana's steel fans. =========== OUTFITS =========== 1- Purple cap with two long sashes, purple bat-like bra and panties with a sash coming out of the back, purple shoulder pads and wrist guards, long purple boots. 2- Large spiky helmet stretching to the back of her head, purple corset/breastplate which ends at her thighs, purple shoulder pads and wrist guards, purple spandex covering her thighs, purple shin guards. ============ MOVESLIST ============ ------------- LUI HE BA FA ------------- Sideward Palm 1 Hammer Palm B+1 Needle Fingers D+1 Heel Palm Strike U+1 Open Fist Strike 2 Uppercut D+2 Back Kick 3 Sweeping Kick B+3 Back Sweep D+3 Swinging Elbow 4 Lifting Knee B+4 Walking Heels D+4 Lost Rose 2,4 Pink Dragon 3,3 Extreme Fists 1,1,1 Unleashed 2,B+1 Explosive Strength 1,1,B+4 Rejuvenation 1,1,2,4 Coiled Dragon 1,1,3,3 Golden Path 1,1,2,B+1 Twister Spin 2,4 CS Typhoon Hands 1,1,2,4 CS ---------- MI ZONG ---------- Hook Fist 1 Slap Down F+1 Low Strike D+1 Off Balance Punch B+1 Straight 2 Pelvis Strike B+2 Uppercut D+2 High Kick 3 Sweeping Trip B+3 Crab Kick D+3 Side Kick 4 Step Kick D+4 Lift Kick B+4 Smashing Kick U+4 Good Old 1-2 1,1 Triplets 1,1,1 Zong Rage 1,1,4 Angry Ape 1,1,F+1 Lost Track 2,2,U+4 Iron Broom 2,2,B+4 Crossing Paths 1,2,2 CS -------------- KUN LUN DAO -------------- Lethal Slash 1 Leaf Cutter U+1 Leg Slicer D+1 Swift Wind 2 Stomach Poke F+2 Deadly Blade D+2 McLee Slice 3 1000 Swings Of Death B+3 Low Slice D+3 Front Kick 4 Leg Trip B+4 Toe Poker D+4 Basic Slashes 1,1 Wind Kontrol 1,1,2 Kun Lun's Best 1,1,3 Unmatched 1,1,4 Blood Thirsty Blade 2,B+3 ---------------- SPECIAL MOVES ---------------- Nova Blast- D,B+1 She stands back and lets out a flying ball of energy towards the opponent. This is basically her sparkler move from MK:DA. Carnival Spin- F,D+3 She spins on one leg in a circular motion, kicking the opponent with the other. This is basically her klock kick move from MK:DA. Flying Furry- F,F+2 She almost flies forward at the opponent, repeatedly punching the opponent the face. This is basically her flying fists move from MK:DA. Flipping Heel Kick- D,B+4 She flips forwards in a circular motion, bringing her feet over her head and kicking the opponent and then landing on her feet. This is basically her kartwheel move from MK:DA. ------------------------- FATALITIES & HARA-KIRI ------------------------- Brutality- F,F,F,F,1 (sweep) Li Mei makes quick punches up and down the opponents body then walks away. The opponent begins to shake violently and then explodes. At The Bat- U,B,F,F,4 (sweep) Li Mei uppercuts the opponents head off then takes a few steps back. She then kicks the falling head forwards into the opponents lifeless body and they explode. Flying Sword - U,D,U,D,3 She takes out her Kun Lun Dao and throws it into the air. She then pokes her head out and the falling sword decapitates her. She falls to the ground in a slouched position. -------------- GET UP MOVE -------------- Not so much a move but its cool anyway. If you are defeated in a match Li Mei lifts her two legs up, forces herself up on one toe, and rubs off some "dust" off of her. (credit goes to Libra on this section) ============== GOOD COMBOS ============== Here a few good combos to use when in a tight situation. They are very effective and do a lot of damage.

Talk to her and she will explain to you that her village called Sun Do was the first village to be enslaved by the Deadly Alliance, and the only way to free it is to enter a tournament they are holding and win. Shujinko tells her that he is worried about her going alone, and offers to teach her some fighting styles he has picked up over the years. She accepts your offer and this is what Li Mei must do to pass your training: Shujinko: "Li Mei, I will begin your training with Lui He Ba Fa high attacks, which I learned while training with Master Bo'Rai Cho in Earthrealm."

Li Mei has fast combos and special moves. Sidestep and use combos a lot. Her special moves are useful so use them a lot too. Mission Complete! When you defeat Li Mei, Shujinko congratulate her for the training. He tells her that he knows someone who may be able to help to save Sun Do called Hotaru. Li Mei accepts the information and Shujinko is then sent off to Orderrealm to ask Hotaru for help. =============== UNLOCKABLES =============== This is a list of unlockables for Li Mei or related to Li Mei.
