180. Fan Opener (Kitana, MK9)

Kitana is one of those characters who doesnt tend to have great fatalities. Many of hers dropped in the 300s and 400s. This fatality may be a relatively basic one, but its well executed and snappy, and for Kitana, simple but effective should be considered a success.

179. Dark Fan-tasy (Kitana, MKX)

Speaking of Kitana, this fatality is slightly more elaborate than her last one. The highlight for me is Kitana opening her fans while theyre lodged inside her opponent. The initial fan throw is the same as her MK VS DC fatality, so continuing from there is a clever way to step things up in a full-blooded MK game. However, I think either the opening fans should have been more emphasized, or the tornado Kitana summons shouldnt have tossed most of the body off-camera, as this diminishes the subsequent impact after the opening.

178. Boss Fatality (Kronika, MK11)

Raiden once said that there are worse fates than death, and this fatality is one of them. Kronika uses her divine powers to pull an Emperor Joker, torturing the opponent by breaking their body apart and reassembling them, only to do it again, and again, and again, and again, and again Like Quan Chis leg beating, this fatality doesnt stop until you press off the screen and return to the menu. I used a 1-hour loop to demonstrate this point. While Quan Chi will eventually tire himself out, Kronika being a goddess of time means that she can keep doing this for all eternity a truly terrifying thought. I can only hope that she eventually gets bored of this offscreen and puts her victim out of their misery.

177. Blown Out (Jacqui Briggs, MKX)

Jacqui may have taken after Jax with metallic arms, but unlike her old man, hers are detachable, and have a few extra touches, such as a ranged attack, which she gets real close to demonstrate here. The first part, ripping flesh off the opponents sides, makes the main attack stronger, as while Jacqui could just shoot them, maiming them first so she can shoot into exposed flesh gets a wince in itself, while allowing the eventual gunshot to make a much bigger mess than it would have otherwise. Something that would have improved this would be a heavier sound effect on the gunshot at the end. Its meant to be a shotgun blast at point blank range, so a bigger bang would have made it more impactful.
