This is every fatality for Mortal Kombat 1, including the name of the fatality, the button combination to use it, and how close you need to be to your opponent to use it. All fatalities will be available in-game, whether you’ve purchased the Kollector’s Edition, Premium Edition, or Standard Edition.

What is the best fatality in Mortal Kombat?

Each fatality finishes your foe in a gruesome way, so it’s really up to you which fatality is your favorite to watch. As long as you perform the fatality moves, it will successfully finish off your opponent. All fatalities have a certain button combination to use, and none are easier to perform than others. They all take the same amount of effort to complete. The only difference is what proximity is needed to do them. If that’s how you determine which one is best, we’d say any with a close range is a good one.

Whether online or offline, you can enjoy watching as opponents’ hearts get ripped out, heads get torn off, and plenty more. NetherRealm Studios has brought the best special moves to the latest Mortal Kombat game, and there are plenty of combos into them to really bring the pain.

Each fatality is sure to bring the gore that fans love about Mortal Kombat, and nothing is more satisfying than using them against your opponents. The blood and gore are sure to be overflowing with these brutal finishing moves, so much so that it’s banned in several countries. As long as your system requirements match, you’ll be able to see them in all their glory on platforms like PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
