FATALITY #1 (Inner Ear Explosion)

* Distance: SWEEPING RANGE

Hold down HIGH KICK for 2 seconds and release


FATALITY #2 (Soultaker)

* Distance: NEAR

Hold down BLOCK and then UDU3


FATALITY #3 (Kintaro Morph)

* Distance: HALF SCREEN AWAY

Hold down LOW PUNCH for 30 secs and then release

** You can hold down Low Punch at the beginning of the winning round, and kontinue executing other moves. Release it during "FINISH HIM/HER!"


STAGE FATALITY (Ceiling Spikes)

* Unlike the other kombatants, Shang Tsung is unable to perform this Fatality as, well, Shang Tsung. The only workaround I am aware of is Shang Tsung morphing into another kharacter, and then performing that particular kharacter's Fatality kombo instead. Maybe it was deliberately designed this way?!


STAGE FATALITY (Bridge Drop)

* Distance: NEAR

Hold down BLOCK, press DDU, release BLOCK and press DOWN


STAGE FATALITY (Dead Pool)
Same for ALL KHARACTERS!

* Distance: NEAR

Hold D + HIGH PUNCH once, then LOW PUNCH + LOW KICK together

** This one is tricky. Basically, you can hold Down all the way through this kombo. After pressing High Punch once to uppercut, and BEFORE the uppercut visually kompletes on screen, in that split second of a window press the Low Punch + Low Kick together, and then let go all key presses.

*** "Oh Ma!" Special: After successfully executing fatality, let go all key presses EXCEPT DOWN. Just keep holding DOWN alone to hear Dan Forden say "Oh Ma!" while as a floating skeleton.


BABALITY

* For Babality to work, you must NOT use a single punch during the winning round.

BFD4


FRIENDSHIP

* For Friendship to work, you must NOT use a single punch during the winning round.

BBDF4

SHORTHAND

F = Forward
B = Back
U = Up/Jump
D = Down/Crouch

1 = Low Punch
2 = High Punch
3 = Low Kick
4 = High Kick

Occasionally I will opt to spell out the movement, punch or kick to avoid konfusion. e.g. Low Kick instead of 3.
