Easy Fatalities

For players who prefer a simpler execution, Mortal Kombat 1 also features an "Easy Fatality" option. While not a unique named Fatality, it allows for a simplified input to perform any available Fatality for the character, often by consuming an "Easy Fatality Token" (which can be earned or purchased).

  • Easy Fatality Input:
    • Shorthand Input: 3 + R1
    • Switch Input (Nintendo): B + ZR

Performing these Fatalities showcases Raiden's mastery over lightning, delivering impactful and visually impressive finishes to battles. For more detailed character information and move lists, you can refer to comprehensive guides on platforms like IGN.
