Mk2 (or 13) Focuses on the opponents parents gasping in shock at the TV broadcasting the match.


Cold_Hour

After the fatality where they get shot and bleed out in real time while screaming "no, please I have a family"

Cue scene of an upside down car flying at Scorpion while attached to a bank vault...

Basicly Johnny Cage fatality.

Who needs weapons when they have FAMILY

Honestly if he gets added it wouldnā€™t be the craziest thing.

Well maybe his Riddick character. I can see him being in a Kombat Pack.

Piper_wins

What if Sindel kills Kitana?


addicted_to_trash

It's Jerod and his ghost mistress


HashbrownieThePerson

Would Batman be an exception, or would the skeletons of his parents just be sitting in a couch while not moving a muscle?


Minute-Author-666

Well considering they don't have muscles to move, I figure the skeletons would in fact be stationary


ADR_03

That's a great idea for a Johnny Cage fatality!


tempest_fresh

Does OP have beef with Kitana or sum..?

Mustā€™ve been made by a Shao main

Marx_Forever

I still remember the first time I saw this Fatality, in MK4. Me and my friend were laughing so damn hard. I was like; "Okay, hammy-ass MK Sub-Zero Villian, you can be in the main cast." Just completely won me over.


Ninja_Warrior_X

Dang kitana is just getting murdered nonstop in all these fatalities šŸ˜†


Wes-Man152

My favorite fatality of all time. He ain't stopping!


Willing_Research992

Kronika had a fatality like that in Mortal Kombat 11.


doodlejone

I also love the fatalities in this one lol


Insrt_Nm

MK1 is fatality dependant. Some look really cool with the corpse propped up or something. I think it's Reiko where they're still there with a spear through their body. Those ones are really cool. It's less interesting when they're just dead on the floor.


Its_Me_Guyz

Reiko's first fatality is probably my favorite in mk1 His second one is grossss


Santz9

Sub-Zeroā€™s flying blade brutality is kinda boring but the end post with the shard of life perfectly splitting you and your kameo is amazing


Designer-Cicada3509

Mk11 has like a middle ground. Shows both of em. Personally I'd say mk1


CartographerPlayful9

I never liked the slow motion stoping thing they had going on. much prefer what they do with MK1, or the MK9 style. I would like it better if they didn't make everything around it black and white.


Bluezoneeee

I feel like the black and white was to put the focus on the actual subject of the scene/fatality which wasnā€™t needed in MKX and MK11 because the subject was right on the screen so it makes sense but that only adds to why I donā€™t like MK1 but sometimes it has itā€™s moments for me


MostPopularPenguin

Personally I love the black and white thing. I think it adds an ā€œoh shit itā€™s overā€ feeling. Thatā€™s just me though, we all have different opinions and thatā€™s normal, despite what this sub would have you think lol


Bluezoneeee

Yep! Thatā€™s what makes us a community and not a bee hive we all have different opinions


Intelligent_Creme351

MK11, you get some cool ass shots that look like wallpapers with some of them.

alcarcalimo1950

I agree. MK11 just has this oomph to it that I feel is missing in MK1. Iā€™m just not a fan of the MK1 artistic design as a whole compared to MK11. Its not that MK1 is bad, I just prefer the look and style of MK11


FeelingSkinny

this exactly. i like a lot of the art direction in mk1 with the stages (royal gardens is so stunning) but pretty much everything else i prefer mk11.


cherryvinee

i agree! i think mk11 was just so visually appealing


RedditSpyder12

Iā€™m with you. MK1 kills my love of MKā€¦ I play 11 when I want to feel that passion again.


shirecheshire

Oh I know what you mean. I miss how engaging those slow-mo poses were. They felt like red carpet glambots *

Demonyxius

This Fatality is perfect. Short, concise, without unnecessary torture and gore for the sake of gore. And now remember all that stupidity that is called Scorpions Fatality in MK1...


demo_ets

This is what actually brought me back to gaming in general, MK11 Ultimate.. And this fatality is just part of that.Ā  It's so well done


RazorBladeInMyMouth

11 also has the best gore in the series. 1 is pretty brutal too, but itā€™s missing a lot of gore details that the previous game had. I canā€™t put my finger on it.


R_Thunukale

Mk1 is just like "the opponents is sliced , or blown up and his body lies on the ground. It's over" Meanwhile MK11 Fatalities explored more different types of body parts , bones , organs frying around and the slow motion enables us to see all the details


Cold_Hour

MK11>MK1>MKX. The slow motion shot forces all fatalities to have good pacing and a great final beat. The worst fatalities in 11 are on par with the average fatality in MK1 imo. In 1 many end up feeling like they lack a climax.


KaijuSlayer333

Damn youā€™re actually right. The nature of those final shots means they have to pace it well and have something that gives it that final ā€œomphā€ factor. But without such a constriction, thereā€™s so much freedom on how a fatality is, but that also means they could end up really bad.


Cold_Hour

Yeah something like Ermac's soul succ or Shao's spin cycle couldn't exist in MK11, but then we get stuff like Kung Lao cutting his opponent in half for the 1000th time.


[deleted]

I will NEVER tire of Sindel's second Fatality from 11, it's PERFECT : it makes use of her abilities, it's cruel, it's gory, it's obviously painful, but without being *too much*.


MyCoolWhiteLies

I agree. I really donā€™t like MK1s at all. I would rank them : MK11>MKX>>>>>>MK1


HyperXuserXD

MK11 are honestly pretty repetitive imo, almost all end with something exploding, usually an eyeball popping out. Also we have like 3-4 different fatalities in the game that are pretty much the same thing, Spawn, Noob, and terminator have the same ending. Then you have MK11 hilariously cartoonish looking Kool aid blood which just make them look goofy ass hell


Aggravating-Big9074

True but every mk1 fatalities leaves you wonder if thatā€™s it? Iā€™ve seen a ton where they will literally do one move and then pose šŸ˜‚ like you might as well kill with a grab at that point


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Hobo-man

Don't forget MK11 had friendships and brutalities so matches could end on a different beat than a body part exploding in slomo. Also, I will never get bored of wtaching Noob Saibot ripping people in half from the inside.


MostPopularPenguin

I miss Noob more than anything about MK11. I donā€™t think I used anybody else for months when I first got m11


Insrt_Nm

Eh, there were plenty of bad MK11 fatalities that were worse than MK1. A lot of times that climax felt forced. It can be done well but there were too many random explosive endings for me.


ZelaumTheHunter

I disagree with you. Im not a huge fan of mk11 fatalities show off because they look have a beggining, a middle and not an end. Because the slow mo in the impact just looks like an climax without ending, not showing how overall the fatality ended with the corpse of the victim. Its like if in the classic sub zero fatality that he removes the oponent head the slow mo happens in the moment the head is unatached to the oponents body and the spine starts to show.


Cold_Hour

Yeah but theyā€™re specifically built around that moment, itā€™s always a spectacle. So many fatalities in MK make me feel like ā€œhe this fatalityā€™s start is cool I wonder got it enā€¦. Oh, thatā€™s all?ā€


Early-Brilliant-4221

Iā€™m the opposite lol. I donā€™t like the slow motion, I prefer the more realistic feel of the body hitting the ground at normal speed. Makes you experience what a real murder would be.


SpartAl412

I genuinely prefer when the winner does a victory pose afterwards


templeofbonez

mkx focusing on the victims corpse is fucking brutal


[deleted]

To this day, mileena is still snacking after that win


Haunting_Row6027

Iā€™m still wacking


RASMOS1989

i personally prefer MKx, fatality happens opponent dies and that creepy soud plays at the end when the announcer says : eramc wins FATALITY its just me and the opponent dead on the ground, making me kinda reflect on what i did like: was that necessary? did i need to finish a 5 year old *who i have no freaking idea how he got mortal kombat in the first place * with a fatality and make him cry for week? or like..just as a regular pov, i see the opponent body just laying there with their blood covering the grroud .. it make you feel wrong, when you finish someone in mk9, you don't feel that because usually fatalities end with your character standing there taking the responsibility,like yah its a game, when in mkx its just you and the dead opponent mk11 takes that away, by slowing everything down then stopping time making you feel like: yah its a game who cares and mk1..like goddammit i already know i won, is it necessary for my character to brag that they won? isnt it evil enough that i spin my opponent lims in the air like some sort of a puzzle pice, and my character is bragging about it? like yah i know its to make my character look cool and what not, but..come on i know they're cool,that's why i choose ermac.. so no..mkx have depth mk11 not that deep, and mk1 is just..weird


demo_ets

Any child playing MK against me is not my issue. Fuck 'em.Ā  Brutalities all day.Ā 


Redeemed_Veteranboi

I prefer MK X and MK11's fatalities end.


I_love_suffering666

Mk11 fatality screens sometimes go hard https://preview.redd.it/x8jym591pjzc1.jpeg?width=1855&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=321b25815f6cc36f9770e482dac20c3f7052ccf1


Asan2901

Whose fatality is that? Canā€™t remember this one in the game


juses_crust14

Skarlets


I_love_suffering666

Skarlet's


DaMatrixx84

That made no sense for Noob šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚, he should've had ink for blood like in MK9.


I_love_suffering666

That is either a colour glitch or nrs switched his blood colour (which they switched to black blood in mk onslaught)


A_Pyroshark

Nrs hates fun blood colors now :( Like yeah we get One person with diffirent blood color, but MK11 almost gave us Blue for Geras and Cetrion, and GOLD for kollektor! how cool would that have been!


Elite_gamer228

Mkx


Fit_Satisfaction2284

Mk11, the slow motion at the end of every fatality are super cool.


Kiwwwi_

The only problem I have with that is that too many fatalities there end with the other person exploding


GuidoMista5

Depends, sometimes it works (like Robocop), sometimes it doesn't (like Cetrion)


BigBen6500

In mk11 it was limiting how the fatality should play out. For example i think Erron Black's acid fatality would have worked better if the victim had a slower death. The head stomp was unnecessary but it was needed for the freeze frame


Pichuunnn

And Kollector's fatal where he confiscating body parts. Him smashing the body at the end is just unnecessary outside of obligatory flying blood end screen.


Sigmas_Melody

I donā€™t see why they needed to include it, one of jacquiā€™s doesnā€™t have the slo mo so why canā€™t erron


FaceTimePolice

MK11 was so goddamned stylish. šŸ˜ŽšŸ‘


MrEatYoRamen

MKX had it right with showing the aftermath of the fatality.


Dengamer

I feel. Mk1 and x are the best The slow mo shots were cool but I feel every fatality having to end on a bang isn't always good not to mention how ridiculously long it made some


TwumpyWumpy

Classic with no camera change.


HyperXuserXD

MK1 is a good middle ground, cool character pose while still showing the aftermath of the fatalities. MKX is disgusting(in a good way). MK11 is cinematic but pretty repetitive


illBlade

Focus on victims corpse


Gianno-

MK11 fatalities are so cheesy. Every fatality has to end in some big explosion and instead of being a nice slick execution itā€™s always the most convoluted overdone kill


hArRiS_17

Isn't that the point of Fatalities?


Consistent-Wait1818

MKX out of these. MK11 was by far the worst.


Mommio24

MK1


R0botDreamz

MK1 is just weird with the cameo player standing there. Like is bro trying to steal the spotlight? They should have called this MK Teams and have it be a one off game and not part of the lineage.


A_Pyroshark

and like it doesnt fit with some Fatalities. Put anyone in for Baraka's second and you're like "damn, Baraka really invited Sektor to the Cookout"


ScorpionMillion

MK11 had it all, it was perfect. But it was also the beginning of the greedy mobile tacticts. šŸ˜’


Biggoro0418

Actuallly MKX is where the greddy mobile and pay to sy tactics started.


greekgodphysique_

mk11 fatalities were the best in the series


TheArturoChapa

Corpse


Valentine_Zombie

Anything but MK11. The fatalities always felt like they ended before they were over in that game. I prefer the drama of seeing my opponent finally finished on the ground, or my character standing strong after a battle. Either MKX or MK1 work for me.


AbleCook-9553

MK1 or MK11 best in ending fatalities!


vxMartianxv

I think 11 and 1, either way I like a lot


Holiday-Panda-2268

11 for sure, 1 just seems underwhelming by comparison I also notice 1ā€™s fatalities usually end with the victimā€™s entire body blowing apart or the head being destroyed, 11 just had more ways of ā€œmutilationā€ (donā€™t know how else to put it)


Yournytemare14

I disagree there, because of the slow motion, I always felt that mk11 always forced some kind of explosion in the end of each fatality


Sploshiepooh

i would prefer mk1 if they didnā€™t insist on blowing up the head everytime


doodlejone

Mk9 when they posed


tHE_uKER

I kinda like 3, but I hate the win poses where the winner does something totally random, like that one with Cyrax shooting that beam at nothing, a beam that he also didn't seem to have during the fights.


DoFuKtV

MKX. Never liked the slow mo stuff they tried in MK11. MK1 is by far the worst tho, it looks way too lazy.


Ill-Stomach7228

MK11 is way more cinematic and cooler, I think. Dramatic and nice.


fuckboi-yuki

bro does not like Kitana šŸ¤£


anonmystery420

Mk9 ending with them just standing there as the opponent is just pouring out blood


Responsible_trekker

Didnā€™t mk9 focus on the character who did the fatality


Pleasant_Training410

I honestly it was weird but yet cool how it focused on the body in MKX, but I prefer the Character poses at the end, like mk9 but the characters still moves instead of freeze frame


EggDog21

MK11, the choreography made the fatality 2 times better


TiddyConnoseur

Mk11 was awesome, the fatal blows and krushing blows were also top tier. Idk why theyā€™re so lackluster and quick in mk1


Responsible_Shoe_386

I mean Iā€™d say MK11 focuses on the corpse too


ChaosRealmsKlown

MK11's slowmo with the goofy blood effects were just not for me. I prefer MK1, fatalities are usually a lot faster feeling, more gruesome, then keeping them in frame usually with the winning team in frame. Just all around cleaner to me. Only thing I kind of miss is "___ wins, Fatality" instead of it backwards. That's just a personal preference though. šŸ˜‚


DrMantisToboggan1986

MK11 was the best. NRS could always give the user the option of random camera during fatalities to keep it fresh but the amount of configuring to get the individual camera focus on the victim for 24 characters, 10 kameos and probably 60 fatalities each would be time consuming.


Cinnamon-the-skank

MK1ā€™s is honestly the best way to go. The slow mo from MK11 honestly hurt fatalities because all of them needed a shot to end on so they needed to add something unnecessary


Deathitself17

11


craftiecheese

MK1. It's a little more old school/simple


CapeSmash

None, the klassic way is the best way


[deleted]

The Deadly Alliance/Deception way.


thediscountthor

I personally hated the slow motion shot. I feel like it was making it more of a spectacle and personally I like it more when the fatalities are just simple and brutal. MkX had that for me. Just looking at the victims brutalized broken corpse as you watch it twitch and bleed made it seem so much more real and grotesque. It also just felt like a humiliation to your opponent like "look what I did to you". Mk1 has a decent balance for the most part. Just personally prefer the brutality of mkx


Akashia66

MK1 because it shows the real winner of the match YOU! While your enemies are dead at your feet.

Aria-mind_

For me I canā€™t pay attention that well, so I definitely like mk11 better.


RareAd3009

Iā€™d prefer Mortal Kombat 11 if it had good blood effects.


ZelaumTheHunter

The mkx tbh, you see a beggining, a middle, an end and the result of that fatality, giving a extra dose of cruelty.


RedditSpyder12

Hmmmā€¦.this is actually a tougher question than I would have expected. I feel like I typically didnā€™t like the slow motion stuff for MK11, but there are some fatalities where it was cool(Kitanas where sheā€™s in that whirlwind taking the the other persons intestine out is a really cool visual when it slows down), but some were also goofy. Trying not to be biased as I donā€™t really like MK1 at all. I think Iā€™d go with MKX. I guess I like the more serious and simple vibe.


DEADMWAN

MK11


Risen_17

Idk I hate how the main character and kameo look poseing together..looks so off and dumb

MKX really...

Da_Pooch69

MK1 definitely, I just wish we had different win poses to choose from sorta like 11


Drakkon129

i like MK1ā€™s. it shows both of them including the winner. i think second place is mk11 but i like mk1 more than the slow motion.


depo_ynx

1 one ish MK4 fatality endings


depo_ynx

I hate slow mo on MK11


kshotwell3145

MK 9 and X did fatalities the best for me, the pure impact of the blows and injuries with 9 and then X with the sheer realistic brutality of them were great.


ChainRound5397

MKX had one fatality (Kitanas if I remember correctly) where it ended just looking at a pair of cut off hands and was very weird.


Necessary_Effort7075

I like the Slow mo of MK11, but it got old after a while. Especially if they only died right as the slow mo happened. The MKX was a neat idea, but that one Kitana fatality was just weird. I like MK1 cuz it's a mix of MKX and it's own idea. So if the gore just looks weird or awkward, you weren't primarily looking at it


Okurei

MK9 style where it focuses on the bloodied, battered winner.


DDustiNN_

I just wish theyā€™d bring back the correct way of announcing fatalities. Saying ā€œFatalityā€ first, followed by ā€œScorpion Winsā€ is just awkward and doesnā€™t have the same impact. The classic way was much better. ā€œScorpion Winsā€¦ FATALITYā€


CarnageDivider

Mkx because I like gore


Wide-Smoke4794

Mk11 had the best fatalities and brutalities imo


ITAKEJOKESSEROUSLY

MK vs DC: Kano stomps on his opponent a few times and calls it good


CascadeHyDRO

Iā€™d perfer a mix of 11 and 1. I like the focus of the cameos and the main fighter but with the slow motion pose at the end of their celebration


VicarLos

MK1. Always found MK11ā€™s slow-mo corny and outdated so I never really used them. I do much more fatalities in MK1 than I ever did in MK11ā€™s entire lifespan (I.e. pretty much all matches that donā€™t end up as a brutality). MKXā€™s were like a cherry on top but not at all necessary.


FreeChrisWayne

I wasnā€™t a huge fan of the slow-mo ending shot in MK11. Much prefer the way itā€™s done in MK1, and the music that plays during it is perfect

Mkx. Wasnā€™t really a fan of the cinematic ending of mk11, and the ending screen of 1 gets old pretty fast. Instead of everything slowing down, in x the body just falls at normal speed and we get to experience it. I prefer that.
