"Mortal Kombat 1: Can we guess the killers by fatalities?

Translation: machine translated
We look at five Mortal Kombat 1 fatalities and try to find out who the perpetrator was. They were brutally cut out.
"Mortal Kombat" is famous for its ultra-bloody fatalities. The iconic finishing moves have enjoyed cult status since the first part in 1992. At the time, the explicit depiction of violence almost led to a general ban on such. Instead, age rating systems like ESRB, PEGI and USK have emerged from this. If you compare the first part with the latest, you can only laugh at the comparatively harmless scenes from back then.

Which Fatality belongs to which "Mortal Kombat 1" character?
26 spin-offs later, the series makes a reboot with "Mortal Kombat 1". The over-the-top bloody fights and especially the Fatalities reach new heights. The X-ray moves could serve as a teaching aid for medical professionals. Domagoj and I, on the other hand, try our hand at murder investigation. We look at five Fatalities that our social media team has tailored so that we don't see the murderer. All we see is the final scene of the act. Will we still find out who did it?
"Mortal Kombat 1" is available today for PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Switch.

philipp.rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chBeing the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
