Some call him the clown prince of crime, others the harlequin of hate. But to everyone else in Gotham City, there’s only one…Joker. Here’s the briefest look at the ace of knaves in action as he giggles his way into a kombat arena with a kharacter intro.

Fans hunger to see faces ripped off, opponents beaten bloody with their own limbs and an entire slaughterhouse of finishers that make the Hostel series look like an episode of the Care Bears in comparison. That’s the true identity of Mortal Kombat, and it’s something that the upcoming film knows all too well as the latest cinematic adaptation is looking to rip the big screen a new one and find an R-rating within.

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa's Shang Tsung is the definitive version of the character and I shan’t accept any substitutes. Which is why it’s a good thing that his likeness and acting skills are being used to bring the deadly sorcerer back to life as part of Mortal Kombat 11’s season pass of additional warriors.

If you do happen to know the actual input though, there’s nothing stopping you from actually performing the secondary finisher. Just be aware, that it won’t show up in your list of moves until you’ve unlocked it in the Krypt. Still, I’ve got a list of Fatalities below, so feel free to take this page and print it out!

Look, I get you. Losing weight is hard and who wants to go spend an hour a day in a gym pushing heavy stuff around? There is a simpler solution at hand though, and even better, it allows you to eat whatever you want whenever you want. Because trust me, after you see D’Vorah’s fatality in Mortal Kombat 11?

In life, Jade was a master assassin, famously known for both her loyal friendship to Princess Kitana and her iconic green attire. Now resurrected by an evil sorcerer, she serves the Netherrealm as an undead Revenant. Death hasn’t slowed Jade down, though.
