RE: How do you perform fatalities for each character in Mortal Kombat (1992)?
I'm looking for a complete list of fatalities for each character in Mortal Kombat (1992). What are the specific button combinations and conditions?
In the original 1992 Mortal Kombat game, each character had a unique Fatality—a finishing move that could be performed at the end of a match to defeat the opponent in a brutal and spectacular way. Here is a list of the fatalities for each character from the arcade version of the game. Make sure to stand at the correct distance, which is typically close unless otherwise specified.
1. **Liu Kang**
- **Dragon Bite:** Rotate the joystick 360 degrees in a full circle starting from forward and ending in forward (you can also try doing a fast sweep from back to up) and press any punch button.
2. **Johnny Cage**
- **Head Uppercut Decapitation:** Standing close, hold Low Punch and press Forward, Forward, Forward, and then release Low Punch.
3. **Sonya Blade**
- **Kiss of Death:** From sweeping distance, press Forward, Forward, Back, Back, and Block.
4. **Raiden**
- **Electrocution:** Standing close, press Forward, Back, Back, Back, and then any punch button.
5. **Scorpion**
- **Toasty! Spear Decapitation:** From a jump distance, hold Block and press Up, Up.
6. **Sub-Zero**
- **Freeze and Shatter:** Standing close, press Forward, Down, Forward, and then press any punch button.
7. **Kano**
- **Heart Rip:** Standing close, press Forward, Down, Forward, and then Low Punch.
Remember that in order to execute a Fatality in Mortal Kombat, you must do so quickly after defeating your opponent in the final round of the match. As soon as "Finish Him/Her!" appears on the screen, you have a short window to perform the Fatality sequence.
It may take a few tries to get the timing and distances right, so don't get discouraged if you don't succeed at first. Practice in single-player modes to perfect your Fatalities before bringing them into competition against friends or in tournaments.
