Ready to turn that frown upside down? The Clown Prince of Crime and Batman’s arch-nemesis, Joker, is now part of theMortal Kombat 11roster. It is somewhat fitting since NetherRealm Studios is also responsible for the DC fighting game series,Injustice. There are many differences between how Joker plays inInjusticeand inMortal Kombat, but the most visible change is his violent set of fatalities and brutalities. Here is how you execute theJokerMortal Kombat 11finishers.
Like in theTerminatorandSindelfinisher guides, I will be using the universal inputs that are used in most fighting games. Here is the translation:
JokerMortal Kombat 11Finishers: Fatalities
Like the rest of theMortal Kombat 11roster, the Joker has two fatalities he can perform. Both of which show his violently funny side. The first fatality is named “Party Pooper.” This is the one where Joker seems to be playing nice, giving a giant cake to his opponent with a sign that says “FRIENDSHIP” appearing above them. Turns out that cake is a bomb, which launches the opponent into the air. Joker then takes a tommy gun and relentlessly mows down the opponent, as well as revealing that the sign actually said “FATALITY.” Then the opponent’s mangled corpse falls to the ground with the fatality sign vertically chopping their body in half. It’s pretty wild.
- Party Pooper:D, F, B, 2 (Mid)
Performing the “Party Pooper” fatality may be a bit harder than some just because of the midrange distance. If you need a reference, use Joker’s Fatal Blow. The space between you and the opponent after you’ve used the Fatal Blow is actually the perfect mid spacing you need to perform the fatality. Once you’ve found that distance, just input the button combination above.
The second fatality is aptly named “Pop Goes the Mortal.” This is the one where Joker uses an extendable boxing glove to punch a hole through the opponent’s mid-section. He then places a jack-in-the-box in the opening and gives the handle a spin. Once the toy detonates, it extends into the opponent’s skull which ends up becoming the head of the jack-in-the-box. Oh, Joker also sings a fun little ditty along with the fatality.
- Pop Goes the Mortal: B, D, B, 1 (Mid)
Similar to the first fatality mentioned, you will need to be in “mid” distance from the opponent. Again, you can use Joker’s Fatal Blow as a reference for this distance. Once you have done that, just input the button combination above.
While this fatality is considered “locked,” you can actually perform it. Once you have performed it, whether it be with the button combination above or with an Easy Fatality token, you will “unlock” the fatality. All this means is that the button prompt will now show in the move list.
JokerMortal Kombat 11Finishers: Brutalities
InMortal Kombat 11, brutalities are finishers that can only be executed if you complete a specific list of requirements before defeating the opponent. These vary from pretty simple to a bit more complicated than they’re really worth. However, the ability to perform these is pretty demoralizing (especially in a competitive setting) considering the person had to complete certain moves in order to do it. Anyways, here are the Joker’s brutalities that are unlocked right from the start:
