Finish Him! Are the classic words every player has heard throughout the last three decades thanks to Mortal Kombat. With every new game, the fatalities become more elaborate, brutal, and gorier, with Mortal Kombat 11 featuring some of the most innovative finishers to date. This list ranks the best fatalities from every player in the game including DLC characters such as Terminator, Rambo, and Mileena from worst to best. Let’s check out the first name:
37) Liu Kang
Best Fatality: Belly of the Beast
Ah, the MK tournament winner is the first name on the list. Yikes! Here’s the thing, Liu Kang is a strong character to play in MK 11. His classic Fireball and Bicycle Kicks are easy and fun to pull off and the legendary character has some sweet combo moves that make you want to bust out some karate on some poor soul yourself. However, Liu Kang’s fatalities are simply boring. “Burn Out” is just fancy punches and a karate chop of death. “Belly of the Beast'' is a bit better, but it lacks the innovation a lot of the other fatalities have. I guess on a cloudy day, seeing severed limbs chopped into mush can bring a smile to anyone’s face.
36) Sheeva
Best Fatality: Spinal Tap
The Shokan badass made her grand return in-part of the “Aftermath” story of MK 11 and though Sheeva is a solid character to play, her fatalities leave a lot to be desired. “Stomp The Yard” and “Spinal Tap” satisfy our bloodlust, but the overall finishers feel uninspired and worst of all, forgettable.
35) Kotal Khan
Best Fatality: Totem Sacrifice
34) Erron Black
Best Fatality: Death Trap
33) Nightwolf
Best Fatality: Komo-tose
It was nice to see one of the original characters of Mortal Kombat make his return, but Nightwolf’s fatalities leave a lot to be desired. While over-the-top, “War Ritual” doesn’t have that thrill other kills have due to the lack of innovation. “Komo-tose” is a tad better visually, but it’s also a simple and forgettable fatality once all is said and done.
32) Kung Lao
Best Fatality: Meat Slicer
31) Kano
Best Fatality: Save The Last Dance
30) Baraka
Best Fatality: Rock, Paper, Baraka
29) Sub-Zero
Best Fatality: Frozen In Time
28) Kollector
Best Fatality: Head Lantern
27) Jade
Best Fatality: Pole Dance
26) Jax
Best Fatality: Still Got It
25) Cassie Cage
Best Fatality: #GirlPower
24) Skarlet
Best Fatality: Bloody Mess
23) Shao Khan
Best Fatality: Back Blown Out
22) Geras
Best Fatality: Peeling Back
21) Kabal
Best Fatality: Road Rash
20) Noob Saibot
Best Fatality: Double Team
19) Cetrion
Best Fatality: Maintaining Balance
18) Terminator
Best Fatality: Target Terminated
In execution, “Target Terminated” is one the tamest finishers on the roster; however, seeing the war between humans and machines brings back fond memories. The visuals here are top-notch; Everything from the explosions, skeleton bodies, and the terminators themselves are highly detailed with love and care that elevates this basic fatality to being one of the best in MK.
17) Raiden
Best Fatality: Direct Current
16) Mileena
Best Fatality: Violent Delights
15) Shang Tsung
Best Fatality: Kondemned To The Damned
The soul-stealing bastard with the voice of a God (thanks to Mortal Kombat movie veteran Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) makes his grand return and the world of MK couldn’t have been any better for it. “Kondemned To The Damned” is vile but funny as hell; Seeing a perfect skeleton of said victim being dragged to hell is one of the top moments of MK 11 alone.
14) Rain
Best Fatality: Eye-solated
13) Scorpion
Best Fatality: You’re Next
12) Johnny Cage
Best Fatality: Who Hired This Guy
11) Spawn
Best Fatality: Unchained
10) Robocop
Best Fatality: Thank You For Your Cooperation
9) Kitana
Best Fatality: Royal Execution
8) Frost
Best Fatality: Ice Sculpture
7) Fujin
Best Fatality: Wind Blade
6) Jacqui Briggs
Best Fatality: Spider Mines
5) Sonya Blade
Best Fatality: To The Choppa
Blade has been a solid fighter throughout the games, but her signature “kiss of death” finishers were simply boring. However, Blade’s fatalities shifted throughout the years, and “To The Choppa” and “Supply Drop” are the most brutal and gory finishers that Blade has ever done. Just like Kano, Raiden, or Johnny Cage, the evolution of Sonya Blade gives more context to her bloody maneuvers, but “To The Choppa” contains all the classic traits that make a Mortal Kombat fatality memorable.
4) D’Vorah
Best Fatality: New Species
3) Joker
Best Fatality: Pop Goes The Mortal
2) Sindel
Best Fatality: Hair Today Gone Tomorrow
1) Rambo
Best Fatality: Parilla Thrilla
