164. Brain Freeze (Sub Zero, MK1)

You know that trope of a kid licking a cold lamppost or similar and getting his tongue frozen on it? Thats the idea behind this fatality. Of course, since this is Mortal Kombat, the body part coming into contact with a frozen surface is bigger than a tongue, and the extrication thereof is a lot messier I like that the brain remains frozen on the ice wall after the face is removed, before Sub Zero breaks the wall at the end.

163. Still Got it (Jax, MK11)

This one takes an idea weve seen before, but puts a new spin on the presentation. Taking it into a baseball decoration, complete with the jingle as Jax hits a homer, makes this a lot more memorable than it would have been otherwise.

162. Inner Demon (Sareena, MK1)

Kameos tend to recreate a fatality from an older game, which poses a problem for Sareena, as shes only had one fatality prior to this, and as a GBA exclusive, its debatable whether or not it counts. The problem is solved by giving her something new, and its not bad at all. It takes some inspiration from Heres Johnny! to begin with, but the second half diverges from it when Sareena puts her demonic tail to use. Congratulations Sareena, you are officially, unambiguously out of the No-Fatality Losers Club!

161. Brain Blast (Motaro, MK1)

Like Sareena, Motaro didnt have much to work with in terms of older fatalities either, and he gets a new fatality as well. Just shooting with a laser would be underwhelming, but stabbing the opponent in the head first so that the laser charges in their head gives it the extra flashiness it needs.
