Raiden, the God of Thunder, possesses several devastating Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1 that can be executed to finish off opponents in spectacular fashion. These special moves require precise input commands and are often distance-sensitive.
Raiden's Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1
Here are Raiden's Fatalities, including their specific button inputs for both standard shorthand notation and Nintendo Switch controllers, along with the required distance from the opponent:

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.
