How to perform Friendship in Mortal Kombat 11

Just the perfect blendship

NetherRealm Studios has releasedAftermath, the new expansion to its bloodthirsty fighterMortal Kombat 11. The paid DLC sees the arrival of three new characters –RoboCop,Fujin,andSheeva– along with a five-chapter epilogue. Arriving alongsideAftermathis a new update – free to all players – adding several new stages, stage fatalities, some character tweaks, and the subject of this very article: Friendships.

Friendships – which made their debut back in 1993’sMortal Kombat II– are alternate finishing moves which substitute the blood and gore for a joyous or happy conclusion. They were originally added as a tongue-in-cheek jab at the huge governmental backlash the originalMortal Kombatreceived on launch, similar in tone to the Marge Simpson-approved Itchy & Scratchy episode, “Porch Pals.” But Friendships took off, the fanbase loved them, and they returned inMortal Kombat 3, now embedded inMKkulture.

Finally, after a long sabbatical, these fun finishers have returned toMortal Kombat,and not a moment too soon. So enough of my wafflin’. Here are the inputs for every Friendship inMK 11. From Jax’s epic sax solo and Liu Kang’s klassic disco groove, to Sindel’s tipsy wine mom shtick and Kitana’s family reunion.

Now get out there and be good to your fellow kombatant.

All inputs are for characters facing right. All inputs are mid-screen. Friendships can be performed at the end of any standard fight. However, in a Kompetitive Match, the playermustwin the final round without blocking to perform Friendship.
