Mortal Kombat 1 Fatality Inputs: How to Perform Fatalities

The Mortal Kombat 1 Fatality inputs are not unlocked for everyone right away. However, you can still perform them if you know what to press. Here’s a complete guide on how to perform the MK1 Fatalities.

How to perform Fatalities in MK1

To perform Fatalities in MK1, it helps to know the button notations. Fighting games use a system-agnostic numbered system to avoid confusion around button names. Here are the input translations:

• 1 is front punch (Square on PS5, X on Xbox Series X|S, and Y on Switch)
• 2 is back punch (Triangle on PS5, Y on Xbox Series X|S, and X on Switch)
• 3 is front kick (X on PS5, A on Xbox Series X|S, and B on Switch)
• 4 is back kick (O on PS5, B on Xbox Series X|S, and A on Switch)
• B is back on the D-pad or stick
• F is forward on the D-pad or stick
• D is down on the D-pad or stick
• U is up on the D-pad or stick
• Kameo is the right trigger (R2 on PS5, RT on Xbox Series X|S, ZR on Switch)

Most Fatalities also require that you stand a certain distance from your opponent. Close means next to them, mid means about jump distance away, and far is at or around full screen.

How to unlock Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1

To unlock a character’s second Fatality in Mortal Kombat 1, you have to level said character up to level 14, which takes quite a few hours of play. However, you don’t need to unlock the second Fatality in order to perform it. If you know the button combination, you can still perform it, but it won’t be saved in the move list.
