A finisher, also known as a Finishing Move, is a special move performed by the player's character. A finisher can either require a specific input during or at the end of match during the Finish him/her! period, though some may require an entire sequence of specific inputs. For Brutalities in Mortal Kombat X, this is varied per character.

List of Finishers[]

  • Animality, a finisher introduced in Mortal Kombat 3 that allows the victorious player's character to turn into an animal following the defeat of the opponent, after which they proceed to maul the opponent to death. (MK3, UMK3, MKT)
  • Babality, a finisher introduced in Mortal Kombat II that, once a specific input is entered from the player following their victory, would turn the opponent into an infant version of themselves.  (MKII, MK3, UMK3, MKT, MK 2011)
  • Brutality, a finisher introduced in the home versions of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 that originally served as a combo ending finisher that would violently make the opponent explode into bones. In MK: Shaolin Monks, they function as a power-up mode of sorts that turns normal attacks into devastating combo assaults capable of instantly killing enemies. The finisher is later reintroduced in Mortal Kombat X as a finisher that would swiftly kill the opponent from either a Special Move, an X-Ray attack, a certain combo, or a throw. (UMK3, MKT, MK:SM, MKX, MK11)
  • Fatality, the original finisher that was introduced in the first Mortal Kombat game that allows the player to kill their opponent in a disturbing, gory, or even humorous fashion. This unseen level of violence in a video game (notably the introduction of Sub-Zero's Spine Rip Fatality) was what lead to the development of the ESRB rating system used in all modern gaming. (All games)
  • Faction Kill, a finisher introduced in Mortal Kombat X that would have the victorious player's character call in their faction to finish off the opponent in a sudden and violent fashion. (MKX)
  • Fergality, a finisher performed by Raiden in the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version of Mortal Kombat II, the defeated player's character turns into Probe Ltd. employee Fergus McGovern, who worked on the port for this game. (MKII)
  • Friendship, a finisher introduced in Mortal Kombat II that allows the player's character upon their opponent's defeat to perform various acts of kindness and good will towards their opponent instead of killing them after winning the match. (MKII, MK3, UMK3, MKT, MK11)
  • Heroic Brutality, a finisher introduced in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe that serves as the DC heroes' Fatality alternative which would end the opponent in more of a merciful approach as opposed to violently killing off the character. (MKvsDC)
  • Hara-Kiri, a finisher introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception that allows the losing fighter to perform suicide in a violent fashion, if a finisher is not performed by the winner in time. (MK:D, MK:U)
  • Kreate-A-Fatality, a finisher introduced in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon that allows the player's character to create their own Fatality using a variation of different moves in a timed sequence. (MKA)
  • Multality, a finisher introduced in Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks that would allow the player to instantly kill multiple enemies within the finisher's radius. (MK:SM)
  • Quitality, an online-only finisher introduced in Mortal Kombat X that would cause the quitting player's character's head to explode immediately after leaving the match. In Mortal Kombat 11, their entire body explodes into a puddle of gore. (MKX, MK11)
  • Stage Fatality, the second finisher introduced in the original Mortal Kombat game that allows the victorious player to kill the opponent using the stage's environment. (MK, MKII, MK3, UMK3, MKT, MK4, MKG, MK:D, MK:U, MK:SM, MK:A, MK 2011, MKX, MK11)
  • Stage Brutality, a finisher introduced in Mortal Kombat X that allows the player to kill their opponent using an interactable object from the stage, causing an immediate win. (MKX, MK11)
