Unlocking and Performing Friendships and Alternate Finishers in Mortal Kombat 11

Mortal Kombat 11 offers a variety of ways to close out a match with style, including the newly introduced Friendships, as well as classic alternate finishers like Fatalities and Stage Fatalities. Here’s a comprehensive guide to unlocking and successfully executing these unique finishers.

Unlocking Friendships

Friendships were added to Mortal Kombat 11 with the May 2020 ‘Aftermath’ update. The good news for players is that:

– No Unlock Requirements: Friendships do not require unlocking. Once the Aftermath update is installed, all characters—including any downloadable content (DLC) characters—automatically have access to their own Friendships.

– No Additional Purchases: There is no need to purchase additional content or explore the Krypt to utilize Friendship finishers.

Performing Friendships

To execute a Friendship, you’ll need to follow a few straightforward steps:

1. Character’s Moves List:
– Open your character’s moves list in the pause menu and locate the “Finishers” section. Here you’ll find the specific input for the Friendship unique to your character.

2. Correct Positioning:
– Ensure you are at the right distance from your opponent. Friendships typically require you to be at mid-range, which is roughly one step back from your opponent.

3. Input Commands:
– Once you’re in position, enter the specific buttons corresponding to your character’s Friendship. Each character has a unique combination which can again be found in the moves list.

4. Executing the Friendship:
– After defeating your opponent and when prompted to “Finish Them,” quickly input the Friendship command. If you’re struggling with the specific button inputs, consider using an Easy Fatality Token. On PlayStation, you can activate it by pressing R2 + Square simultaneously, or the equivalent buttons on other platforms.

Alternate Finishers

In addition to Friendships, Mortal Kombat 11 features other finishers such as Fatalities and Stage Fatalities. Here’s how these alternate finishers work:

– Fatalities:
– Like Friendships, Fatalities require specific button inputs. Be mindful of the required distance for each Fatality, which can vary by character.

– Stage Fatalities:
– To perform these, hold a block button while entering the necessary directional commands, then release the block button to execute the move.

Using Easy Fatality Tokens

If memorizing the complex input sequences feels daunting, Easy Fatality Tokens can greatly simplify the process:

– Cost: Performing a finisher using these tokens costs one Easy Fatality Koin.
– Input Combination: For Friendships or Fatalities, pressing R2 + Square (or equivalent) allows for a straightforward execution of the finisher without needing to remember the specific sequence.

Summary

In summary, Mortal Kombat 11’s Friendships and alternate finishers are accessible and can be performed with some practice of the right inputs and positioning. With the Aftermath update, there are no unlocking barriers for Friendships, and players can enjoy these lighthearted finishers right away. Utilizing Easy Fatality Tokens can also make executing these moves more manageable, ensuring everyone can end a match on a fun note. Happy fighting!
