Like Fatalities, Brutalities have become an integral part of Mortal Kombat’s identity over the years. Needless to say, Brutalities are also obtainable in Mortal Kombat 1.
However, it turns out that there are a number of Brutalities in Mortal Kombat 1 that are both hidden and unobtainable within the code of Mortal Kombat 1. Over on Twitter, iScream showcased how these animations are fully functional despite being locked.
As indicated by iScream, there are hidden Brutalities for Mileena, Nitara, Sindel, Li Mei, Baraka, Ashrah, Johnny Cage, Ermac, General Shao, Kenshi, Smoke, Kung Lao, Reiko, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Raiden, and Peacemaker.
Of course, not all of these animations are created equal. Baraka’s finisher is based on his Bleeding Blade special where the projectile just gets stuck in the opponent. This ends up just being a pretty basic death for the opponent.
However, Kung Lao’s Brutality ends up being a real spectacle. From full screen, Kung Lao will seemingly initiate the sequence by using his hat projectile special.
Though the hat passes through the opponent, they seemingly come out of it unharmed and confused. Shortly afterwards, the hat will begin going back and forth, lobbing off limbs as it travels.
Eventually, the enemy is decapitated from the trick. Check it all out below:
