12 Fighting Game Mechanics That Make No Sense

Fatal Blows

Similarly, Fatal Blows in Mortal Kombat 11. Don’t get us wrong – seeing Kitana throw both her fans into a foe’s chest and drop-kicking them for that extra oomph? It’s awesome. But some of these moves should be outright killing foes, whether it’s Frost shoving razor-sharp icicles in someone’s head or Shao Kahn pinning a fool to the ground with his spear, only to crack his head with a sledgehammer. And yes, everyone is just fine afterwards, which just defies logic all the more, even in Story Mode.
