MK1 Animations for Hara-Kiri Fatalities Unearthed

A Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has uncovered strong evidence suggesting the addition of Hara-Kiri Fatalities, rebranded as Quitalities, in a future update.

Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri animations within the game's files. Hara-Kiri finishers, first seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004), allow defeated players to perform a self-inflicted fatality. The video notably includes animations for recently added DLC characters like Ghostface, bolstering the theory of their inclusion. InfiniteNightZ stated, "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible."

The dataminer further speculated that these animations will function as Quitalities, referencing their designation within the game's code. Quitalities are rapid finishers triggered by player disconnections in multiplayer matches, a feature present in previous Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ noted.

Following this discovery, prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko uncovered additional Hara-Kiri animations, confirming the presence of these self-inflicted fatalities for most characters. However, it is worth noting that neither NetherRealm Studios nor Warner Bros. Games has officially confirmed Quitalities for Mortal Kombat 1.

The recent addition of a secret fight with Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's collaborative efforts to decipher his unlock conditions, highlight the game's active community. Further anticipation builds with the upcoming T-1000 guest character and the possibility of more DLC, though unconfirmed by NetherRealm.
