Each character in the PSP game "Mortal Kombat: Unchained" has two special "fatality" moves. These moves enable the player to kill her opponent in a unique and spectacular fashion. The fatality codes are different for each character, and they can be used only toward the end of the fight, after the announcer yells: "Finish him!"
Inputting Fatality Codes
In order to use the fatality move, you need to be positioned correctly. Stand right next to your opponent for "close," stand about two steps away from your opponent for "sweep" and stand as far away as possible for "far." Move into the fatality stance by pressing the "L" button before entering the fatality code.
