why?

Sick with one character
Learn the move set
learn to control space
learn some combos
MK 1 doesn't have too much variety, each character is very similar to each other. It's not a hard game to beat.

Just don't play this game on Genesis, try the DOS or the Arcade versions. Oh and if you are gonna try the DOS port, then stay away from the floppy version.
If you have the money, then i would recommend this bundle https://www.gog.com/game/mortal_kombat_123

You need to ingest huge amounts of Spice from Arrakis to do that.

get a time machine and go to an arcade and pick up on the general vibe of the crowd surrounding the machine.

Singleplayer MK is like a contest between who can be the bigger cheating asshole. You gotta learn how the AI reacts and then find a way to cheese your way into a victory.

Pretty much this. The AI is shit and cheats constantly. Unfortunately it's also shit enough to not realize when it's been swept 5 times in a row. Winning MK single player is all about finding one thing the AI doesn't react well to and doing it over and over.
In a genre where almost all the single player modes are terrible, MK takes the cake.
