Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1 are an integral part of the gameplay that makes players so fond of the fighting game series. Brutal finishing moves on the enemy look as impressive and spectacular as possible, which is why fans are especially eager to use fatalities in every battle.
You can perform a finishing move at the end of the round, when the enemy is defeated, his health is at zero, but he is still standing. After the last hit, the character will stop hitting the opponent, while he will stagger on his feet for another 5-6 seconds. Within the allotted time, you need to press certain buttons in a row to start playing the epic scene of the enemy’s execution.
If you do not have time to complete the combination, or accidentally hit your opponent, no fatality will occur. The enemy will simply fall to the ground and the battle will end. In Mortal Kombat 11, there was a move called Mercy, with which you could restore some health to your opponent to give a chance for revenge.
Each hero has his own unique finishing animations, some are available immediately in the combo list, while others need to be discovered or known. This guide will tell you how to do a fatality in Mortal Kombat 1 on a joystick.
How to unlock the second fatality for MK 1 characters
When you start the game, you will notice that each hero has only one fatality. Initially, this number is depressing, but an additional finishing combination has been added for each main fighter.
To unlock the second fatality for MK 1 characters, you must reach a certain Mastery rank for that hero. By playing the single-player “Invasion” mode, or fighting with players in a network game, you will gain experience. Each character has its own rank; progress is not connected in any way. Having reached Levels 3 and 5, you will open brutality, and when you reach Level 14, you can unlock the second fatality in MK 1. The easiest way to increase your skill is in the single-player Invasion mode, in which you will have to fight a lot of short battles. Finishing matches with finishing combos will earn you even more XP.
How to do fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1
All main characters have several variations of fatalities. The first is immediately included in the list of techniques, others must be discovered independently. When performing a combination for the final move, it is worth remembering the distance. The distance can be:
- Near – close enough for the blow to hit the opponent.
- Average – in the middle, between the edge of the screen and the opponent.
- Far - approximately at the distance of the entire screen, so that the characters stand at opposite ends of the map.
Let us remind you that to use the second fatality you do not need to know it, you can just press the buttons. Next, we will tell you about the main finishing combinations for each character; for convenience, you can use the search bar to find the desired hero by name:
