At the beginning of the fight, jumpkick Shinnok away from the skull. Now throw the skull (to throw the skull press Down+Run when you are standing on top of it) at Shinnok and keep doing it until he is defeated. The skull takes away more energy than any regular hit so make sure he doesn't throw it at you first.

To beat the game in one round follow these instuctions:

1) Choose a character using the run and block buttons (L1 and R1).

2) Hold until the match begins.

3) When your opponent is dying hit him/her and you will beat the game.
