What is a fatality in Mortal Kombat 1

In Mortal Kombat 1, all fighters possess unique abilities used to finish off the opponent. These moves are called fatalities, and they are known for their epic brutality. A fatality also ensures that the opponent is definitively finished, leaving them with no chance of survival.

Initially, fighters have one special move, with a second one unlocking as the character progresses. However, with this guide, there's no need to level up. The second fatality move is hidden to the player but available in practice. You just need to know the secret button combination, which we will show you.

It's important to note that Cameo fighters have only one finishing move.

How to perform a fatality in Mortal Kombat 1

A fatality can only be executed at the end of a round when your opponent has lost all their hp. For a brief moment, the opponent will stand still and begin to sway. During this time, you must press the correct button combination. If you accidentally hit the character or fail to execute the combination, the opponent will fall, and the round will end. You will win, but not as spectacularly.

Each fighter has their specific distance for executing a fatality: MID, CLOSE, and FAR. This is important to remember.
