Indeed! As soon as Shao Kahn taunts you, you should do this:

1. Throw a projectile at him

2. If you don't have a projectile, dash in and pull off a quick combo

If he throws his spear at you do this:

1. Low block it, and do a follow up projectile

2. Jump over it and do a follow up projectile

If he throws his hammer at you, do this:

1. Jump over it and do a follow up projectile
