Concept »
Introduced in MK III, these new finishers would turn your character into an animal that would then kill and maim your opponent, thus ending the round.
Mortal Kombat II introduced a whole new way to finish off and humiliate your opponent. Instead of killing and maiming your enemy, the Babality would allow you to turn your opponents into yes, a baby.
Originally introduced in the console versions of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, a Brutality was a finishing move consisting of a very long combo that resulted in the opponent's body exploding. The concept was reintroduced and altered in Mortal Kombat X.
Typically found in fighting games, combos are a series of strung-together moves.
Decapitation is the removal of the head of a person or animal.
Some games feature a system where a character near death can be dazed into a 'down but not out' state; while their allies can often revive them if they reach the downed character quickly enough, their enemies can perform special, frequently gruesome, execution attacks against such characters.
This page is about the concept of Exploding Heads. Exploding Heads come in two different forms - one, where they are used as a dramatic device (eg. Bionic Commando), and, secondly, where they are used as a weapon (eg. Alien Storm).
Finishing moves are typically moves that end a fight in a traditional fighting game.
Killing the enemy a little more stylishly
Heroic Brutalities are finishers performed by DC Heroes in Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. They are criticized for being not as violent and leaving the enemies alive.
The act of pressing your lips against someone or something else as a sign of affection.
Make sure you respect nature, or else! Note: This only concerns *protagonists*.
Gag finishing move in the Jaguar-exclusive fighting game Ultra Vortek. Turn your defeated enemy into two steaming links of poop.
Used in fighting games, projectiles are objects that a fighter can launch at another fighter to attack from a distance. While they can be used to simply inflict damage, projectiles are often used to maneuver opponents into disadvantageous positions.
A finishing move when a player quits an online match before it is finished.
A ring out occurs when a character leaves a stage (mostly due to falling off stage because of being forced by opponent or bad timing) and automatically loses round/match. This is a common concept in fighting games.
Stage Fatality is where a defeated player/opponent was finished off into some deadly objects or plunging to falling areas.
