35. Spinal Smash (Sub Zero, MK9)

Throwing a frozen head in Deception was cool, but now that Scorpion has given the Spine Rip back, Sub Zero can do what he really wanted to last time. Using the head to whip the frozen body and holding the spinal column as a whip is just the kind of creativity I like to see in Mortal Kombat.

34. Heart Condition (Skarlet, MK11)

This may be more basic than usual for Skarlet, but this is the most squeamish fatality in the series for me because it goes inside the body. The heart beating faster as its overloaded with blood grosses me right out because it gives a more realistic touch thats missing from the more outwardly gruesome or outlandish fatalities.

33. Chest Kold (Sub Zero, MKX)

This one begins as what seems to be another take on the Spine Rip, but it turns out Sub Zero is getting bored of that by now, and instead takes this in a new direction, instead using the spine as leverage to rip his opponent in half. This one is made effective by the surprise factor, as well as seeing new takes on old fatalities. In addition to the Spine Rip, Sub Zero holding the opponent above his head while he rips them in half also brings his MK3 fatality to mind where he froze the opponent above his head and shattered them.

32. Better Than One (Ferra/Torr, MKX)

Master Blaster rules, Making a Mortal Kombat character who is basically Master Blaster in all but name also rules. The way Torr holds the opponent reminds me of how the Shokan hold people during some of their fatalities, while Ferra flipping over them and cutting them in half on her way down gives us something the Shokan wouldnt be able to do while they were still holding the opponent. Im currently undecided on which stage would make the best stand-in for the Thunderdome, so I will have to get on that.

31. Double Dragon (Liu Kang, MK1)

Nice reference Liu Kang, but do you have time to be playing video games in addition to your duties as protector of EarthRealm? His divine promotion gives him access to a pair of fatalities that are a lot flashier than his more functional older ones. This one also serves as an evolution of his dragon fatality, where instead of turning into one himself, Liu Kang conjures up two dragons with his magic to hold the opponent in place. After Liu Kang used this on Shang Tsung in the announcement trailer, Im surprised Shang continued with his schemes instead of deciding he was out of his depth, and to be content with having the one universe where he won.

Tremor, Skarlet and Liu Kang are eliminated. 21 kharacters remain.
