Fatality (Mortal Kombat)
Fatality is the name given to a gameplay feature in the '' Mortal Kombat'' series of fighting video games, in which the victor of the final round in a match inflicts a brutal and gruesome finishing move onto their defeated opponent. Prompted by the announcer saying "Finish Him/Her", players have a short time window to execute a Fatality by entering a specific button and joystick combination, while positioned at a specific distance from the opponent. The Fatality and its derivations are arguably the most notable features of the ''Mortal Kombat'' series and have caused a large cultural impact and controversies. Conception The origins of the Fatality concept has been traced back to several violent Asian martial arts media.
