As far as the fatalities in “Mortal Kombat 11” go, it’s one of the less sensational. One slices apart his midsection and the other takes off his head. When I tap those commands into my controller, my warrior princess Kitana throws two fan-shaped blades horizontally into the ninja Scorpion. The first time I pulled off a fatal blow and Milton immediately followed suit, I lost the match because the cumulative violence left me too stunned to concentrate.ĭown, back, forward, X. Sub-Zero’s fatal blow sees him wedge two ice axes into the sides of his opponent’s torso, then conjure a third ax that he plants into their skull, pulls down to their chest, and then spins their body overhead bringing it crashing into the ground.
Pressing the left and right triggers when your character’s health is low unleashes a pulverizing move that can forcefully turn the tide of battle. Fatal blows, which are not necessarily fatal, are devastating moves that can only be pulled off once per three-round match.
I was off to a decent start the first night Milton and I played a few online matches until he showed me, or rather whooped me, with a fatal blow, a new addition to the series. (Some of the other characters have had children that are in the new game.) But I was able to quickly get back into the flow thanks, in part, to “Mortal Kombat 11’s” robust tutorial system, and my memory of all those quarter-circle, half-circle, and back-to-forward button patterns that are staples of fighting games in general. I skipped Mortal Kombats 5 through 10, and the world has changed since I last caught up with my old go-to characters Kitana, Sub-Zero, and Kabal.
