Onto the top 20!

20. Hook and Sinker (Leatherface, MKX)

This is another really brutal one that fits the dark atmosphere of Mortal Kombat X. Simply cutting someone in half with the chainsaw wouldnt be enough for a fatality, so the earlier parts with the meat tenderizer and meat hook are used to both increase the violence factor, and to establish the grimy character that makes this unique to Leatherface. Well done for having the highest ranked fatality for a guest character, Leatherface! Go celebrate by treating yourself to a pretty mask or something. Just try not to think about where the meat hook came down from when this fatality is used outdoors.

19. Frozen in Time (Sub Zero, MK11)

This fatality incorporates a bit of everything from Sub Zeros moveset. He uses the ice clone, which he doesnt tend to use in fatalities so thats another point in its favour, as a trap. He uses the ice slide to knock his opponent into the trap. Then comes the upside down spine rip, and flexing by slamming the head down onto the ice clones outstretched spear. Its fun to see his individual moves combined like this, and the clone into slide in particular is possible in gameplay, albeit without the spear.

18. The Scarecrow (Sektor, MK9)

Of all the ways people could be killed in Mortal Kombat 9, this may be one of the most creative. I like how after being hit with the device, the opponent panics while Sektor is typing into his wrist pad. They dont know what it does yet, but they know it wont be something good! How sudden the result is also makes this really shocking, as it takes a moment to register what happens. Why do the Lin Kuei or the Tekunin even need scarecrows? Surely its too cold in the Lin Kueis regions for them to grow crops, and the Tekunin are cyborgs who dont need to eat.

17. War Ritual (Nightwolf, MK11)

I mentioned during the bear fatality that Nightwolf has two excellent fatalities in MK11, and heres his second one. Weve seen him use his tomahawks before, but the results this time are much more violent than before. Pulling the jaw takes a big chunk of the opponents skin with it, while the result of the tomahawk throw is also more impressive than it has been in the past. Was this ritual intended to deter any other tribes from picking a fight with Nightwolfs tribe?

16. Cant Die (Dvorah, MK11)

Youll wish you could die if Dvorah used this on you! Mortal Kombat 11 had a couple of fatalities where the opponents skin was peeled off, but this one makes the most sense, as Dvorah restrains the opponent with goo, then uses her appendages to peel the skin off. She manages to do it in a very painful way too, with the camera getting a clear view of the opponents remains. Was it not enough for her to kill Baraka once?
