Mortal Kombat is known for two things: Blood and even more blood. Fresh out of the arcades in the early 1990s and straight into the mainstream with its controversial gore that had many an overzealous mom calling for the game to be banned, Mortal Kombat made its name with gratuitous violence and over the top finishing moves.
What if you don’t like blood though? Maybe you’ve got an aversion to seeing some crimson spilled from a digital collection of flesh and meat, even if said opponent happens to be an interdimensional ruler from another world attempting to make the skulls of fallen enemies a bold fashion choice as seasonal headwear.
That’s where Friendships come in! First introduced in Mortal Kombat 2, Friendships have been a tongue in cheek finishing move, emphasising rainbows and happiness over the signature blood and gore of Mortal Kombat. They’re back inside of Mortal Kombat 11 and its Aftermath expansion, with every character having access to them.
Now yes, you can see the Friendship for your chosen character from within the game menu, but that’s a chore. Flicking back and forth to memorise that string of inputs? YAWN. Instead, here’s the full collection of moves that you’ll need to pull off to show off the power of your Friendship, all listed in an alphabetical format below to make things easier for your crib notes.
Quick note: For the actual input, I’ve listed the PlayStation 4 attack button first, followed by the Xbox One input. Easy and simple. Also something worth mentioning: Every Friendship is performed from the Middle distance of the screen, so make certain you have roughly one jump kick of space between you and your vanquished opponent.
