When you face your opponent and do not like the side that your character is on, press the following to get on the other side safely while doing damage to your opponent. Press Up, X in the Mantis style. While in the air, quickly do Sub-Zero's Freeze move. At this time, your opponent should be up in the air. Then, if you froze your opponent high enough into the air, do Li Mei's Sliding Grab Kick. Shujinko should be able to slide under your opponent. Once you get to the other side, you should have enough time to pull off a big combo, Scorpion's Spear, or Liu Kang's Bicycle Kick.
