About this converter
Mortal Kombat fatality counts run from 0 to 54 per base game, which makes every era easy to compare. The 1992 original holds 7, while MK9 2011 holds 54. That means one MK9 roster carries almost 8 times the 1992 count. Every figure on this page counts character specific Fatalities in the base roster only. Stage Fatalities, Babalities, Friendships, Animalities, Brutalities, Hara Kiri moves and DLC are excluded, and rows state the scope. Early games gave 1 per fighter, then the series standardized on 2, except Deadly Alliance with 1 and Armageddon with its custom chain system listed at 0.
