Brutality Kombat Modifier Icon
Mortal Kombat has a wide range of modifiers available in different modes. These modifiers change the way the game is played. Usually, they are simple modifiers like increased health or damage. Sometimes, they are significantly more powerful and can end a round or even a match.
The Brutality Kombat Modifier is one of these modifiers as it allows premature conclusions to the match. This modifier when activated fully lifts all brutality requirements. This means it does not matter who is winning, whether it's the final hit, it does not matter who has more health or how much health they have left, it does not matter what round the match is on or how many rounds are left, and it does not matter if one character is leading in rounds or not. If you perform a move that has a brutality attached to it (that can typically only be activated at the final hit of the match), it will automatically trigger the brutality. The opponent will be finished off swiftly, and since they are dead, the entire match concludes with the performing player winning. In this sense it allows matches to end at any time, and it does not matter who finishes who off. Either character can use it regardless of any other factors. As long as the match is still going, you can end it with a finishing brutality.
Its a fun modifier to mix up matches with. The goal is to allow players to showcase brutalities without having to wait until the end of the match. That said, it has to end the match when used as it is inherently a finishing move.
