528. Blade Lift (Baraka, MKG)

Mortal Kombat 4 had a lot of fatalities brought back from previous games, now in glorious (for 1997) 3D! Unfortunately, this one is a downgrade from the Mortal Kombat 2 version for two reasons. Firstly because it feels slow with little impact behind it, and you can see the right blade doesnt impale the opponent until it goes in through the side later. Second and more importantly, the opponent no longer slides down the blades, which was the best part of the original!

527. Kick Thrust (Mavado, MKDA)

Mavados attempt at being cool is undermined by wearing his little sisters skinny jeans up to his pecs, and more importantly for our purposes, with his Wile E. Coyote fatality. All its missing is a scene of him placing an order in the Acme mailbox, and Roadrunner popping up just as Mavado has built up too much momentum to adjust his trajectory. On that note, hes the first character to have all of their fatalities eliminated, so get the fudge out Mavado!

526. Neck Stretch (Quan Chi, MKDA)

The most unintentionally funny fatality in the series. The internal injuries are undoubtedly horrific, but its hard to think of those when the opponent waddles away then collapses under their necks weight. Have you seen the Simpsons Halloween episode where Homer is cursed by a gypsy and Barts neck stretches while Homer strangles him? Its like that. This is certainly a memorable fatality, albeit for the wrong reasons.

525. Head Clap (Jax, MK VS DC)

The worst version of a classic. Theres no buildup from Jax, and the opponents head being squashed has no impact to it. Even without the head being destroyed like it usually is, this could have had a bit more oomph to it.
