Fatalities may be the bread and butter of Mortal Kombat 11, but I kind of find myself favouring Brutalities lately. They’re that extra bit of salt in the wound of a pal, a finishing move that is not only brutal but also says “hey I’m good enough to beat you according to a very specific set of requirements outside of my usual combo style”.
Every character has a set of brutalities, instant match-enders that closes the book on an opponent in bloody style. Here’s most of them so far. I’ll update with more in due time, as I’m still plumbing the depths of the Krypt for the rest of them.

Apparently never eating cheesecake is a gaff. But nooooooo, I admit that I’ve never listened to Radiohead and now everyone in the group wants my head. Joke’s on them, I can’t even hear the sound of an angry mob while I listen to Sum 41.

You can unlock their method in the krypt…or just consult a guide of printed off move lists like it’s 1992.
