190. Splitter (Liu Kang, MKX)

Sonya can rip people in half by doing the splits on them, but Liu Kang decides to go a step further by doing it in midair. Incorporating his flying kick into the fatality gives it some bonus points by making it more dynamic to watch.

189. Direct Current (Raiden, MK11)

Raidens lightning swords here are something new we havent seen from him before. While we have seen swords before, combining them with Raidens lightning powers make this fresher than either of those things individually.

188. Rest in Pieces (Spawn, MK11)

While Spawns other fatality used the chains for set-up then the cape for the finishing blow, this switches the order around. I prefer this one because the chains moving themselves is used more creatively here, and we also get the green energy at the end that isnt in the other fatality. Also, its fitting that Spawn does this to Joker in the video, since Spawn doesnt like clowns.

187. Axident (General Shao, MK1)

The first part feels like it would have made for a better fatal blow than Shaos actual fatal blow, which is one of the more underwhelming ones. It being used for his fatality instead is for the best, as then we wouldnt have gotten the second part of Shao pulling the opponent across his axe to cut them in half.

186. Sore Throat (Liu Kang, MKX)

We know from this that Liu Kang is a cultured Road House fan. The slight nudge Liu Kang gives to make the defeated opponent fall over shows a more playful aspect of Liu Kangs personality that we rarely get to see. Come to think of it, Patrick Swayze in Road House might have made a decent guest, although it would have likely been in bad taste as early as MK9, and its far too late now.
