Full Brutality Listing and Inputs

Hey all,

Just saw a support article on WB Support where some of the game's Brutality inputs are listed incorrectly in-game. Until this is fixed, they listed the inputs for all character Brutalities in this post here.

The cut and paste below:

The axe that clears the forest
I've mainly been playing Reptile to unlock stuff and I cannot for the life of me get his Pop Belly Brutality to work. I've tried tapping back, I've tried holding back...everything.

Can anyone confirm it even works? I feel like some Brutalities are bugged currently.

I'm having the same issue with Kitana's "Hit the Fan."

The axe that clears the forest
@John Grizzly Finally got the Kitana Brutality to work. I think I was foolishly trying with the EX version, when it's the normal Fan Toss for the Brutal. I've been nailing it like crazy since.
I've had no luck with the Pop Belly for Reptile or the throw Brutality for Shao where you have to do it without the axe. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Post back if you do get them. I regret I don't play those characters, otherwise I'd give it a whirl.

The only Brutality so far that I can't get to happen at all is Kameo Sub-Zero's first Brutal. That one I've given up on for now.

There is no knowledge that is not power.

This brutality has a double problem: (1) NRS screwed up the unlocking process: Although the game tells you "Frost Bite" is unlocked at lvl 2, it's actually Sub's 2nd Kameo Brutality "Big Leg" (forward+throw, then press down, down). "Frost Bite" only becomes available at lvl 11. (2) The input for the Brutality given in the moves list is wrong: You have to press forward+R1, then hold forward during final hit. The Brutality only seems to work when your opponent has almost no life left.

I'll give that a try then. I figured they may have made a mistake, as all other Kameo first Brutalities have been Throw Brutalities.

All the throw brutalities seem to require that the initial contact damage be enough to finish your opponent. They won't trigger if the final throw damage would end the round, even though it feels like they should.

I dunno if this is known but if you land Li Mei's lantern brutality (One Way Ticket) and hold down + Stance Switch + Block (D+L2+R2 on my ps5 controls) they will explode after floating off screen. Easy to practice by getting them to low health, doing lantern and pop them up into it with 3. Instead of just floating off. It rains blood and body parts. Pretty cool. I wonder what others have secret inputs like in MKX/11.

Edit: Not 100% sure the Down is actually required or just the L2+R2. Discovered on accident by playing with buttons during Brutality and my tests to confirm I wasn't seeing things were not that thorough yet.

Proof on youtube (not mine somebody else must of discovered it around the same time I did and uploaded it).


UPDATE: Down is not needed. L2+R2 (Flip Stance+Block) is the trigger.

Fatality o

Cigretts PSN
Is there a list of kameo brutalities somewhere? Do they unlock through mastery?

They should make fatality training have an option to leave 1% health so you can practice brutals. Then it wouldn’t be useless

The Kameo Brutalities unlock through mastery. Although as far as I know they only have two that unlock that way. Hopefully there are or will be more. And I absolutely agree on Brutality training being just as if not more useful than Fatality training.

I have mastered the entire roster so if you want the whole list of finishers for all chars and kameos, I can help you guys out with the whole move list.

"Feel the wrath of Shao Kahn"
... so Shao Kahn is the only fighter in the roster with only 4 brutalities?
On level 7 you get 1000 koins (fast useless when shrine is empty...)

I wonder if and how they will add more in the future.
So far, invasions is only for skins and KL brutals like MK11 isn't a thing ...
 

Ashesfall

"Feel the wrath of Shao Kahn"
... coincidentally, I found out that you can see locked finisher (Fatal and Brutals) in the movelist listed as ???. Go practice mode, pick as your opponent shao and play as p1.
Now in settings you take the control of shao (p2). Next see his movelist and you will see, he has one missing. I think the level 7 one is shown with ???. All youtube videos I found didn't had this hidden one.
So one brutal got cut/censored out? I mean, it looks like it. :(
