Mortal Kombat 2 Fatalities, ranked from worst to best

This kind of ludicrous ultraviolence isn’t for everyone — there were congressional hearings in the ’90s about the Mortal Kombat games, which helped lead to the video game ratings system still in use today. But without Fatalities, Mortal Kombat wouldn’t be Mortal Kombat. Thankfully for the fans who complained bitterly about the lack of mortal combat in 2021’s Mortal Kombat, the 2026 sequel Mortal Kombat 2does deliver some hard-R Fatalities: eight of them, by my count. Unfortunately, I do have some qualms with the lack of creativity on display. Too many of these deaths follow a familiar pattern of impalement. Reader, if you’re concerned about my bloodlust, I promise to bring it up in therapy. For now, join me as I rank Mortal Kombat 2’s Fatalities by order of gnarliness.
