"Roses are red, violets are blue. D'Vorah isn't here to bully, so I guess Reptile will do." - Ed Boon probably
His character design in my opinion is the best in the game, his outfit is superb, he's my favourite and seeing his like 🥲
@@Kinji_Hakari. Very dramatic 🙄
10/10
"First thing's first as always; Reptile dies immediately."
I miss Gatorade blood tho
Gera reaching slightly into the future to rip his opponents head off and handing it to him is the most creative fatality to date 11/10.
nah its another timeline, cause u can see the map changes
@@dontsayflan4315 That makes far less sense.
@@dontsayflan4315no the map stays the same
@@dontsayflan4315 Why do people like you always choose to come into the comments and be wrong?
@@dontsayflan4315 u just didn't understand the fatality it seems like.
The fact that in Liu Kangs second fatality the opponent can't scream because he's in space is a very nice touch
Only for the other one to have one were there shouldn't be one
But black hole still is Chefs Kiss.
It is very cold in spaaaaccceee
And also probably the most scariest fatality in the series.
@@RudoMike21to me that's still Kronika's
@seretith3513 I think with the first one, the idea is that the head had air to scream from how hard Liu Kang is pushing his head through the air.
I didn't even realize until somebody pointed it out but the snake in Shang Tsungs second fatality is actually your opponents spinal cord. He transmutes it into a living snake, that makes it 100x cooler.
I thought since the blood was bubbling that it was just a chemical reaction,very cool!
Jesus fuck, Sheng Tsung.
This actually got me thinking about how much this Shang Tsung was designed around making the opponent hurt themselves in deceptively subtle ways. For his 1st fatality, he makes them injest a concoction that kills them from the inside if it gets to the heart. I imagine the reason why they try to tear their own throats out during it is to make sure that it doesn't? IDK, I'm not a psychologist. His 2nd fatal has him turn the opponent’s spine into a snake that eats their face whole, quite literally turning their body against them.
This gives me HUGE Terumi vibes and makes me think about how much better Shang would be ingame if he had the ability to temporarily let himself build meter as fast as Terumi does, only instead of energy attacks, the meter gain would likely come from his claws or fireballs in this specific state.
How did you know that the snake is their spinal cord
@@TheUltimyrArchiveshis fatal blow has him inject a syringe that causes the opponent's rib cage to change into spikes, it's not so far fetched that he could change a spinal cord into a snake goddamn that's a weird sentence
Dude, Baraka throwing a barbecue for the boys is incredible.
That one is my personal favorite.
Agreed.😊
It's a really nice change of pace from the typical Baraka fatality too.
@@SpookGod yeah exactly. He doesn’t often get “silly” fatalities but that one was a winner.
That one genuinely horrified me. It really is well done (heh, get it?)
Geras's time travel one is FREAKING INSANE
Best Fatality in the game, easily.
@@rodanhibiki5980EASILY!
Imo best in the game
Best for sure
Geras always had potential with his fatals that were wasted in MK11 honestly. Glad they got he got to show off his actual powers in this one
The attention to detail during the end of Reikos second fatality is insane. Reptiles face literally starts to droop. 15:40
fr.. it deformed after removing the skull is an insane detail to animate
I noticed that too. Absolutely disguting in the best way possible.
Literally saw that and wonder why the fuck it did that. Then my dumbass didn’t think that he just removed his skull with the face flesh intact on his body. Like god damn reiko has so much blood lust than fucking general shao
@@identifiedasquimponly issue is the eyeballs wouldn't still be there.....they would have collapsed backwards and fall out since there is no socket or come out with the skull. Maybe that would have been too traumatizing....
If only it got rid of the teeth. Baraka keeps his teeth if you do it on him :(
What i love about Rain's first fatality shown (and makes it a 10/10 to me) is the fact on most characters the water will turn red, making Rain in fact just like Moise splitting the red sea in half, only in this case the red is literal
Moise?
@@marche800Moses but you get the idea
@@kasagrim7215 nah, i think it's moist/s
The fatality is literally called The Red Sea too
@@marche800 In some languages Moses is called Moise
“Who hurt you Reiko?” My thoughts exactly. His fatalities has to be the most brutal of them all. So much anger.
He was raised by General Shao. That explains everything.
Meh. Mileena had a more brutal one when she bites through your skull and eats your brain, because you would still be alive for a good amount of time after that. With Reiko, you would die pretty much instantly at the very first part of each fatality.
He saw his W/L ratio in Story mode.
@@JohnGraves1985🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
@@JohnGraves1985Meh reiko clears
I like how Ed Boon said that the fatales had to go through some check marks that wasn’t too gruesome and the devs ended up laughing at most of them. And there there’s Reiko….
Reiko literally made me wonder if he’s more insane for blood lust than general shao.
@@kasagrim7215 He gives me the impression that there's only one song track on indefinite loop in his head and that's "War" by Edwin Starr.
Why'd they do that though? these fatalities are way worse than prior games
@jamieeddolls5605 Diminishing returns. Just because a kill is gorier doesn't make it better, these aren't "how much can we get away with without an AO rating" like in X and 11.
MK11 had better fatalities
If Baraka's BBQ fatality had him put on the chef outfit from 11 (bunch of sausages and a chef hat), it'd make an already fantastic fatality an 11/10
Maybe He'll have that skin in some DLC again, hopefully anyway
i 100% the fatality only exists because the devs were inspired by chef baraka
Making him a guest character on cooking with scorpion
12:22 If Nitara's 1st fatality kept the bats POV of going through the insides, and then seeing her open the body would have gave like a rebirth effect thus 20/10 for me
honestly or the bats eating their way out of the body would've been cool too
@@murofr That would've made it a 9 for SURE for me.
I cannot wait for the guest character fatalities. If Omni-Man’s fatality includes the train it’s an immediate 10/10.
Omniman using Mark as a weapon to turn you to pulp
If I don't see someone getting the Red Rush treatment, I can't play this anymore.
@@antonhagbox02I personally hope that the Red Rush kill is a Brutality
I hope he's gonna be feeding people their own hearts (The head crush is also a nod to Red Rush as well)
Honestly I think it’d be better as a Fatal Blow, especially since it could be a nod to the Super Moves in Injustice.
Reiko's fatalities are ruthless and monsterous. Straight Aztec levels of savagery.
Yeah, he surprised me a lot!
Taking both fatalities into consideration, Reiko is top 5 at worst.
The halberd one is Jade's MK11 fatality, but actually REALLY good.
The thing that gets me about the second one is the body at the end. Reptile looks like he's just chilling...and the face sagging is terrific detail
They’re more Roman than anything. As Reiko pretty much reminds me of a Roman Soldier in this game.
@@Trinioutsider34 Good point. Reiko is NOT to be fucked with.
Yo he had the best fatalities 😂 and Geras second one are the best ones
Stryker's fatality wasn't spectacular, but I love how nonchalantly he does everything.
"Yup, just putting a bomb vest here, another day, another dollar..."
he's treating blowing someone up like another day at the office
I think it would have look better if Stryker instead of walking, he runs away from the opponent and cover his hears like the original games
Oh, hello, Animus.
@@fishyboi98tbh sounds like something the NYPD would do man
@@ShabungalooTheStinky Fake news. The NYPD doesn't have that kind of money to spend on bombs.
The fact they went as far as to add a stupid amount of femurs and ribcages in kameo scorpions fatality made me laugh, that was a clever nod
that shocked expression followed by a "who hurt you Reiko?" made lose it 😂😂😂
He REALLY hated reptile
15:42
Oh God, I just noticed the face goes slack and distorts because there isn't any bone to hold it up, that's so gross.
"I could have been the next Shao Kahn, Boon!"
Reiko's are simple but just... visceral.
Legitimately been waiting on this.
Geras time travel fatality is the most amazing by far it was genuinely creative.
It reminds me of The Flash's ultimate attack from Injustice 2. Very cool
@GrugsZ fr
Baraka cooking for the boys:
@@MountainMemelordlet him cook
I like these fatalities. I like that they seem to be dialing back and going for simplicity and creativity rather than just trying to push the gore level to extremes because the latter has limits and diminishing return. These all genuinely give me early mortal combat vibes with how short and sweet they are, but better because they are more creative overall.
My issue with them is a lot of them don’t seem to connect part one to two like there’s no point in doing the first part of the fatal because the second part has nothing to do with it
15:41 The worst part of Reiko's second fatality is hoe the face skin slowly caves in because there's no linger a skull to hold it up. Creeps me the fuck out
Holy shit you're right I didn't see that before, that's gross as fuck
When I first saw the fatality, I instantly focused on the face when the skull got removed and it did not disappoint with the detail.
I had to do a double-take to notice that
can safely say, Reiko is the worst possible person to die from
He also has the worst fans, or at least had the worst fans at one point
I would argue Baraka is worse just cause he’ll get the boys to chow on you
@tinasky7897 I think Baraka dinner fatality and Reikos spear fatality are both equal, losing your arms and legs and it not being over I'd a terrible way to go
I mean he got super shafted from being the next Shao Kahn to a fanboy and never made another appearance until now. Also General Shao molded him so yeah, he’s got some issues.
@@justelias7615 fair enough in the grand scheme of things these are both horrible ways to go and I wouldn’t wish it on an enemet
25:30 The traditionally absurd number of rib cages, thigh bones, and the like is what sold this one for me. They knew exactly what they were going for and delivered.
Bone rain bone rain bone rain bone rain
Ah, the logic of old MK games where someone exploding would shoot out 4 feet, 12 ribcages, 19 femur bones and like 2 heads
Hmmm, idk know if they know anatomy at this point. *Throws up in a corner*
I was looking for this comment, sure it's "basic" but it's a 10 for me because they are referencing all those extra bones that characters had😂
Damn Reptile heals really fast, glad to see he was ok through all this 👍
yup, especially when Cyrax exploded the planet but Reptile just healed it off real quick
That was just a scale model, Reptile is fine 👍
The fact that during kameo scorpions fatality, he makes him transform into like 4 skeletons worth of bones like in the older games is fucking great
I honestly love Stryker's fatal. It's so stupid and simple, but the walking away and the smug smile at the end just makes it for me lmao
I was expecting it to be like a "cool guys don't look at explosions" thing and he just would keep his back turned, so the stupid little look back he does really caught me off guard lmao
Minneapolis PD Wins...Fatality!
@@jordanwhite352 😭😭😭
I love it, the smug smile and silly pose, also the fact that at certain angles he looks like a younger Justin Bieber imo
@@nekogirlbeth123
His icon on the the character select screen for sure looks like Bieber lol
I don't know if it was mentioned on stream or if anyone noticed it... but Reiko's second fatality at the end, you see Reptile's face sink in on itself without the skull there! Absolutely brutal
His head deflates!
it's essentially the good part of that fatality
The cherry on the cake
Awesome fatal but imo it fits Havik more.
@@xkmuffinzx3915reiko is a war criminal. Pretty fitting
I really like how the opponent stays alive till the very end for the great majority of those fatalities. Feels more like you're "fishing then" instead of "playing with their corpses"
...do you mean "finishing them" or is it this some new slang?
I realized scorpions 2nd fatality also throws references to every weapon he used in past games. mk9 was the swords/katana mk4/DA/Arm. He used axes.
It's also a reference to his clone fatality in UMK3/MKT, it had a black screen back then but now we know what really happens.
I like how they made Reptile have one of the more expressive faces for fatalities cause they knew people would use him for his green blood on youtube. He really looks like a nice guy that doesn't deserve it.
The noises he makes in this game are kinda disturbing
@@trysten9198same. it just makes me so sad when performing fatalities on him. he’s such a cool and nice character unlike DVorah
That's only reason I miss D'vorah, as a fatality dummy..
Reiko's fatalities might be the most brutal in the entire franchise - I've never *yelped* at how painful they looked until his 2nd one.
Also how in the 2nd one at the end reptiles face "drops" or "falls in"....its really f-ed up but also super cool :D
That second one is fucking brutal! The skin on the face sagging…😮
Right up there with Noob’s make a wish one and Noob’s MK11 one with the shadow clone inside the person. Reiko’s are definitely brutal as fuck
I agree. Sheeva's Spinal tap fatality in MK11 is the only one in the series that grosses me out as much because of the sounds and the look on the person's face. Kabal's Hooked is also high on the list.
I feel like that’s the most realistic one, so we call all imagine what it would feel like. All the other ones are so obvious to which they would have already been dead after the first shot
These fatalities feel a lot more "stylish and fun" rather than the 11's "gross out and disturbing" fatals, and I actually love it more for that. You can definitely tell this came about because of devs suffering from PTSD using real gore references in the last game. Props to NRS solving the issue without sacrificing style
Aww poor NR developers 😢 get them their warm blankies. You are seriously soft
@@SmittyBacall1858people can develop genuine ptsd from watching traumatizing footage. It’s been tested and while you develop it slower, it can be just as intense as if you were actually there. It’s not a matter of being soft, it’s a real issue
@@SmittyBacall1858this dude is so cool you guys😎😎😎
He watches gore and doesn't even care because of how cool and tough he is😎😎😎😎😎😎
@@SmittyBacall1858 And you know nothing of mental illness or effects of this stuff on mental health.
Try working with anything regarding corpses for a bit, soft baby.
@@SmittyBacall1858i can imagine them crying with their soy lattes and twitter pronouns.
Geras' time travel, Liu Kang's Black Hole and Baraka's feast are the best imo.
Gerard second fatality is amazing, if it would’ve kept looping itself it would’ve been a 10 for me
It is looping tho, just offscreen
I love Gerard he's my favorite Mortal Kombat character
Gerard is geras in a different timeline, my favourite character fr
gerard is hilarious 💀
Gerard shall be his name from here on out 😂
Honestly that Geras loophole one is quite possibly THE most creative fatality I have ever seen, 11/10
Geras has some of the coolest cinematic moves in this game, they got real creative with him.
15:44 I kind of love how the head deflates due to the absence of the skull. It's a small detail, but it's one that sold me on the fatality.
right? XD its so stupid in a good way
Reiko went from being a relatively basic character in the old timeline to a MAESTRO OF BRUTALITY in the new one. You love to see it.
The way the face deflated in the end made me so uncomfortable oh my god
Yeah for a character that didn't get much focus after MK4 they certainly gave this guy the sauce in this game holy shit.
Seems like Reiko learn that brutal fatality from Kratos the God of Fatality. Hehehehe
Though he's an absolute jobber in the story
@@antonhagbox02 Eh I'd say he's still less of one than Nitara. Reiko at least has relevance to the plot...and good voice acting.
Gotta give props to Reptile’s voice actor, he sounded like he was in absolute agony.
Personally prefer Rain’s in terms of screams of agony, but yeah Reptile is good too.
@@videogamer678 Is it just me or screams of agony in fatalities became more realistic?
@@WhiskeyFour03extremely realistic
@@WhiskeyFour03 can say the same about getting hit during gameplay too
shit sounds as brutal as the mk3 screams
Wonder what direction he was given.
I think Mk1’s fatalities are generally a little bit toned down from mk11’s on purpose. Since it’s a reboot, they can keep the fans happy by having them still be very brutal, but not to the point where people who don’t know Mk think of it like its SAW.
I mean apparently mk11 gave devs ptsd because they used actual gore as reference
@@MrBlock-qe7hiBunch of softies. They knew exactly what they were getting into once they signed on.
@@SmittyBacall1858 …. No lol they where making a video game they did not know they where signing on to see real dead bodies and not just like died in sleep dead bodies gore of dead bodies
@@SmittyBacall1858Video game gore is different than real life gore.
@@SmittyBacall1858ugh, what is your favorite song? Last resort?
22:55 my favorite part of this fatality is that you can barely hear reptile scream "no!" as the bombs explode.
Although I like to imagine it's Liu Kang screaming since he now has to make another timeline.
Someone on the team mustve been so damn proud of that skeleton model a majority of the fatalities really have lots of skeleton popping huh
A good throwback to the classic games imo
mk11 had eyeball popping fetish, now it's skeletons
@@sundownerstudios8563too many throwbacks
I'm guessing that they had to remake a skeleton model again for the next gen consoles and, damn it, they're gonna make you see their efforts.
@@neevko267and intestines. Lots of intestinal play here
15:50 "Who hurt you, Reiko?"
The creators of the 2021 Mortal Kombat Movie did, Max XD
“Who Hurt You Reiko” Max 15:36 😂😂😂 Traumatized
I love there are some fatalities that revel in showing the guts coming out and then there are some that just have the skeleton pop out with no organs in sight 😂
Shujinko's Kameo fatality is honestly the best one imo. He straight up used the five point heart explosion technique from Kill Bill, you can tell Ed Boon's a true man of culture
I can only image that technique works on an old man.
True! That one was pretty sick
Which is inspired from Fist of the Northstar.
Heck. Because of that, people want the Bride to be a dlc caracther. She does fit.
its literally one to one
2nd sub-zero fatality isn't just him smashing that guy's face into the wall of ice. You see the wall of ice is SO COLD that it's holding onto tissue (like when you lick a frozen pole) and he's forcibly pulling back leaving more and more sections of the head frozen to the wall with every hit.
Makes it a little cooler.
I honestly think it's one of the best Sub-Zero fatalities we've had in a while but that's just my opinion
Gives me a bit of Jason X vibes when he stuck the girl's head into liquid nitrogen
Cooler heh
The second Reiko fatality where he folded Reptile like a sheet was hilarious.
You've heard of origami, now here's ori-gone your life.
His face drooped, lol
Also reminds me of the Subzero Fataloty in MK9 where he literally ripped out the opponent’s _skull with their spine_ while their head still remains on their head, and then froze them and shattered them with it.
21:05 the slamming head one I personally like alot, cuz it utilizes like, when you lick a pole during winter and your tongue sticks, but it involves the entire face, which "I Think" is the first time we've seen subzero do something like that with his ice. Its been either stabbing them on icebeds, ripping the spine out, or just straight up freezing and shattering like glass.
Baraka second fatality is nuts definitely 10 out 10, dude cooks you and has his bros feed on you straight savage
Shinnok mkx fatality
It's nuts AND it's suited to him!
Looks like something you'd see in the Simpsons with Itchy and Scratchy
@@joshthehuman9449 it's mad goofy
Honestly the weirdest thing about the fatalities themselves is that half of the characters feel out of place doing fatalities at all.
JAJA. YEAH. So many kind characters
That's just honestly a problem Mortal Kombat has had for a long time.
Since day one that has been a problem.
When the games first came out, Liu Kang didn’t have a fatality because they thought it went against his character. Now his non-lethal finisher tops worst fatality lists. So now all the chars have out of character fatalities lest they wished to be dunked on by fans
@@hankfortwelKind of explains why one of his fatalities in MK 2 is turning into a dragon. Felt like overcompensating for the fact people mocked Liu Kang's "fatality" in MK 1, so they tried way too hard to make one of his fatalities in MK 2 as cool as possible.
I actually like how simple and basic most of these are. I like that they're more tongue in cheek and kinda fun because it felt like mkx and mk11 were going a little too far in terms of the extreme violence. It seems like they really went back to basics and more classic in terms of like what they did in mk9 and I really like that.
Then they decided to go balls with Reiko.
19:22
Did you forget MKX?
- HERE'S JOHNNY!
MK11 Both Johnny's fatalities
Here Johnny also talks in his fatalities
I love how more goofy and in the spirit of the original games the fatalities are.
Cyrax:
@@dominoxbelovaxv177casually blowing up the whole planet. Fucking worth it kek
Haha Reiko was so goofy! *the most traumatizing thing you've ever seen*
Literal fucking cannibalism:
Can't believe they gave Darrius the wrong fatality. His other one from Deception would have been at least a 9/10.
I'm surprised they did the Cyrax earth explosion but didn't do Darrius' Abstract Art.
I guess they thought it would be hard to pull it off but if they gave kameos a 2nd fatality then they should add that
Let me play with the models and I can mod that in
Give me a video reference I'll see what I can
@@Sonicfalcon16 I don't think I can post links here (I tried) but if you search for "MK Deception Darrius Fatalities", it should come up. I'll be very impressed if you're able to pull it off.
Scorpion's classic fatality even had the exaggerated amount of bones flying just like the original one. Made me giggle lol
crazy how reikos are perfect basically. he has the two best ones. Excited to see homelander and hopefully onniman doing the deathbattle one
Darrius 100% should've gotten his "rearrange the opponent" fatality instead. Missed a golden opportunity.
Yeah right? Easily his best and most creative one. Instead they chose to make a kreate-a-fatality looking one.
@@junger8550
Me personally I felt like they did that to reference it. But should of had more with it.
Perhaps if they give the Kameos a second fatality in the future, I would love to see Darrius’s second fatality from Deception
Huge missed opportunity
Like why the hell are you even gonna bring back freakin' Darrius if you're not going to do that fatality
Top 3 fatalities:
- Geras' time loop
- Reiko's brutal execution
- Liu Kang's black hole
I think adding some dialogue to fatalities would be great, specially when there is a known rivalry between characters, like having some finishing words to them
Cyrax's fatality made me laugh my ass off.
Its stupidly over the top but I love it so much
His reaction to Reiko’s fatalities is hilarious lmaoo no mercy 😂
Just goes to show you don’t need special powers to be creative
Not only that, the second one reptiles face deflated
Havik's 2nd one is easily my favorite. Literally breaking his own limbs and using the compound fractures as shivs, absolutely fucking metal.
yeah stabbing someone with your own broken bones is sick as hell & I'm honestly shocked Max gave it as low a rating as he did.
As opposed to figuratively?
@@Triforce_of_DoomI think Max thought the fatality was him hitting the opponent so hard his bones were breaking. That's what I gathered from his comments, anyway.
yes@@kennymccormick8295
I agree and Barakas campfire and Liu Kangs universe fatality and Reiko's second fatality
Geras finally got time travel in his fatalities, and I'm 100% here for it.
[EDIT] I also just realized that if Rain does his Fatality on anyone but Reptile, he'd basically be parting the Red Sea.
[EDIT 2] If you look closely during Reiko's 2nd Fatality, you can see Reptile's face deflate from the lack of bones to keep it in place. Damn good attention to detail.
Fun fact: Rain's first fatality is literally called "The Red Sea"
That Geras timeloop is the craziest thing I've seen. Love it.
God I just noticed that Reptile's face started drooping on Reiko's second fatality, since his skull is elsewhere... that's MONSTROUS
Homeboy looked like the girl from that anti weed commercial
Geras' fatality was great. I also think Li Mei's first one was a 10, though you rated it 8. It was creative and fun instead of slicing up the enemy type of straightforward fatalities.
It seems like the fatalities in MK games often have a subtheme. For instance, a lot of fatalities in MK11 involve "peeling" characters. So far, it looks like MK1s subtheme is the victim screaming far longer than feasibly possible.
Don’t forget MK11 having a very *eye-catching* theme with its fatalities.
I’ll let you figure it out.
Reiko's second fatality is something only classic Shao Khan would pull off...It's straight up terrifying and utterly savage.
Definitely my favorite next to Lui kang and Geras fatality.
Remember that, in the OG timeline, Shao chose Reiko as his general because of how ruthless and sadistic he was. So, if Shao thinks you're the most ruthless, then you really must be a bad mofo.
Plus it's a nod at how in the past Reiko was pretty much a stand in for Shao Kahn to the point people thought he was supposed to be a past version of Shao.
Reiko's second fatality is my favorite, it's so fast-paced and brutal, just amazing.
The sounds were atrocious too, def a 10/10
@@9OsLatina Exactly, I don't know why but it keeps reminding me of MK4, even though both of his fatalities in that game were very different. Also, I'm glad thay they remade one of his fatality into a brutality. Reiko is so freaking awesome man.
Jebus Reiko,who hurt you
Love how the face falls down cause theres no more skull
It sounds good, and I don't mean like the sound itself. It just feels good (I'm insane)
Geras’ infinite fatality loop may be my new all time favourite
Everyone's talking about Reiko but is no one gonna talk about how Shao summons his inner T. Hawk and just puts you through the spin cycle? I've never laughed as hard at a fatality as I have watching that
If Geras' second fatality doesn't get a 10/10 then I call BS. Best fatality in the entire game.
Sorry the x ray is like a clone of flashes in injustice 2
Imagine calling Gera's second fatality the best, when Lord Liu Kang manifests a freaking black hole to reduce you to nothing
The Liu fatality is a great idea but for me, the Geras and Baraka ones “hit” better. Super creative.
If everyone is saying G2 is a 10/10, I'll wait to see it while playing.
Hopefully, the first time will be my doing.
Geras 2nd fatality is my all time fav. It's creative, it mocks the other player, it's well executed. Perfect.
The moment we've all been waiting for is here
Mortal Kombat!!
Hahah Ive literally just said that to the missus 😂😂😂😂
Yes!
Geras's 2nd one is so freakin awesome!! Definitely the most unique. So cool
3:48 i like how Geras looks at the head so he knows how he has to kill them by knocking their jaw off to keep within the timeline
Very happy with Baraka's treament in this game, incredible character to play as.
Baraka and Reptile both got huge glowups in terms of story treatment
@@Killabeastaholicits about damn time
Milleena too. The story of this game was all about doing justice to underserved characters.
Geras’ Time Loop fatality is probably my favorite in the game. One of the best fatalities of all time imo. Love that creativity.
What I’m noticing with these fatals is they sometimes have kinda cool setups and actions, but then at the end, the body just sort of plops and falls apart randomly on the floor. They should have it where the body parts fall apart in a cool manner, like land on top of each other or form a pattern. Thatd add some finesse to the end
That's messed up
@@fortnite.burger if you're scared of finishing moves being too "messed up", this sort of game probably isn't for you
@@nicholasmackoul1222 I'm just saying, it's weird how some people glorify and talk about violence so much.
@@fortnite.burger that's literally the main appeal behind MK. Besides, people talking up these fatalities aren't excited over the amount of gore, at least the majority of people aren't. Rather, they like the creativity that goes into them. Especially with this being the 12th game, you'd think they'd run out of ideas by now
I just thought of a fatality where geras travels through time throughout the opponent’s life , landing comical injuries like pushing the opponent down a flight of stairs and the opponent in the present just starting building up new injuries and thought it would be hilarious
"Who hurt you, Reiko?" squeezed a laugh outta me! 😆
I don't know the lore but from the fatalities I think I don't think they're still around to take blame.
@dragonhunter2343 long ass way to say "whoever it was probably ain't here no more".
Geras' time loop fatality might just be my favourite in the entire series.
NRS knew people wouldn’t like Reiko a lot so they made his fatalities badass as all hell
Man, you should’ve done Rain’s first one on a character with red blood. It would’ve been parting the Red Sea, which I think the creators were trying for.
Rain's first one gets even better when used against a character with red blood. He literally parts the red sea
WAIT IS THAT THE JOKE
@@eggbreakerdotexeyes
The tradition keeps on going:
Prince Rain keeps getting the sickest fatalities!! 💯🤩🔥👏👏
First the water Anaconda that breaks your bones and pops out your head and the other fatality were Rain opens up the Red Sea 🩸🌊
Great animations and creative design for Rain's finishers
Eat your heart out Moses!!!!
👑💜👑💜 RAIN 👑💜👑💜
The blood is definitely on point with the fatalities and the brutalities. A lot better than the blood from MK11.
Yeah the blood in 11 was like a thick paint lol
MK11 was aight. The best. No. This and Deception are my all time favs
When you see the blood in MK11 as ketchup in the slowmo screen you can never go back
19:58 "Not blown away by anything..." Unlike someone's jaw.
A man experiences such an excessive amount of force that his flesh peels of his bones
Max: "it's silly and fun"
2:26 This is T-Hawk’s throw taken to the next extreme. And I love it!!
He remembers that he was Khan in two timelines, and gets faster the madder he gets
Geras's second fatality is definitely the most creative fatality they ever made
It's injustice Flash super except now it's deadly
29:31 me too. There were some that were really great but most of them were simple and sth we had seen before.
I gotta know what it's like to be on the team of people who spend their time coming up with the ideas for these insane finishers and then animating them.
According to reports from MK 11, riddled with PTSD and in therapy.
@@brycebitetti1402annoying that for the best fatals it has to come with that
@@brycebitetti1402That’s just pathetic then
@@SmittyBacall1858well when you have to meticulously study REAL gore videos for reference material, it’s completely understandable to get at least a little shaken afterwards
@@SmittyBacall1858??????
Bruh the devs were likely looking at actual gore for accuracy, you don't just walk that shit off
Seeing gore like MK's is one thing, they aren't actual people, but making that has to go way deeper than the half-comical murders we end up with.
Liu Kang's second fatality is 100% 10/10 material. Teleporting into space and then creating a black hole with a snap of his fingers really sells his power level as God of his reality.
I will say, I think they rely a little too much on fast flaying fatalities. (Storm?)'s whirlpool fatality should have twisted his body horribly until he looked like a twizzler instead, as an example.
Rain
@@captpopper7219 ah,thank you!
Twisting the body definitely would’ve helped make it stand out more since there are already a couple of split down the middle finishers
@@randomguy9988 agreed.
@@strikermodelThough in your defense, Storm would be an awesome alt name for Rain
I love that Scorpion’s Kameo fatality references the older games by giving his opponent way too many fucking bones. Neat callback to how ridiculous the bone explosions were.
I was looking for this comment! Saw all the bones and immediately thought of the old fatalies that ended up with your opponent having 7 femurs and 3 ribcages
This. I really like this homage for many many many freaking bones in all MK game, it's just nice touch for fatality. And Scorp fatal was so much better than Sub in this one, strange. But.. Ed Boon favorite character still.. no so strange if you think about this.
Max after Sindels: first one with voice work?
Johnny just sobbing in a corner
Honestly the Geras time loop is one of the best ones they have ever done.
14:06 THIS is an example of it fitting better with a normal opponent because he's parting the RED sea! I love subtle references like that!😁❤️
I kinda like that a lot of the fatalities are more goofy and funny than full on gross out. Nitara just kicking the skeleton out of you is so god damn funny to me, they feel more like the old school fatalities
Yeah that's what I think
They are shorter, goofier, and less exaggerated (in the sense that characters don't keep going with it after the opponent is already dead)
I personally like having dark, gorey ones, closer to MKX. There's some really cool ones in here! Geras, Baraka, Nitara and others have some really brutal ones. Actually there's a lot. I love the sick fatalities the most🤣
Without dvorah fatalities don't really have a gross factor, especially for long time fans
So kitana's second fatality wasn't gross to you?
@@shawklan27 not really. Gory doesn't mean gross
The time travel one is the best for me, I had to watch it again to fully understand exactly whats happening, then made me realize it was a paradox. Very cool
Havik is easily one of my favourite characters. He's just so creative
Also bad for monetization, but whatevs.
@@antonhagbox02Of course that’s all you and these YT hacks care about.
I died laughing seeing the skeleton jump out in Sareena's 2nd fatality. It's so out of nowhere and random.
Do you mean nitara?
