In Mortal Kombat 11, Fatal Blows are powerful tools both for closing out rounds and recovering from positions of near defeat. Typically, a Fatal Blow sees an MK11 character dish out a stylish and deadly assault on their foe, and they can be real treat to witness. However, a new fan-made edit shows what might happen if a fighter were to temporarily lose their focus while administering a Fatal Blow, and the result is quite humorous indeed.

This Mortal Kombat 11 Fatal Blow fail was created by Reddit user Dream2x4, and it was shared on the game’s official subreddit. Dream2x4’s edit focuses on Erron Black, and as a bona fide gunslinger, this Mortal Kombat 11 character’s Fatal Blow is usually executed with beautiful finesse. That is certainly not the case in the Redditor’s video, though, as it ends with Black getting a hilarious taste of his own medicine.

Erron Black’s Mortal Kombat 11 Fatal Blow usually sees the fighter bounce his firearm off of his opponent’s face before catching it and firing some truly impressive over-the-shoulder shots. In the Fatal Blow fail, however, Black’s hand-eye coordination is not at its peak, and the tossed weapon proceeds to come back and smack him right in the nose.

While this physical gag is quite simple, many players are enjoying Dream2x4’s work, as demonstrated by the number of upvotes it has already accrued. That said, it is not the only Fatal Blow-inspired content that is currently making waves on the Mortal Kombat 11 subreddit, as tag team Fatal Blows have also been popping up over the last several days. These videos seamlessly connect the Fatal Blows of two or more characters, and they are perfect for players that are in the market for more fan-made MK11 edits.

The Mortal Kombat 11 community is undoubtedly filled with creative, talented, and funny individuals, and this Fatal Blow fail finds itself within the lineage of excellent MK11 art. Perhaps it will even inspire more fans to create their own Fatal Blow fails, which occurred with the aforementioned tag team Fatal Blows, and that could mean that even more hilarious edits are on the way.

Mortal Kombat 11 is out now for PS4, Xbox One, PC, Stadia, and Switch.
