Fighting game franchises hold a special place in the gaming world because ones with a great plot, characters, and gaming mechanics often earn a grand fan base and much-awaited sequels. Perhaps one of the famous examples of this can be found in Mortal Kombat, the iconic franchise of brutal hand-to-hand combat that first released in 1992.
With the constant success of the franchise, it’s no surprise that in the present day, the latest addition, Mortal Kombat 11, remains just as embraced as ever. Alongside the game’s lore, its unique characters are a huge driving force of the franchise’s appeal. Here’s a list of the top 10 fighters in Mortal Kombat 11 that keeps popularity, special abilities, fighting style, and gameplay in mind!
Updated on March 6, 2021, by Reyadh Rahaman: One of the most iconic traits that fans love about the Mortal Kombat series is the devastating finishing moves that players can unleash onto incapacitated foes that are aptly known as Fatalities. In more recent games of the franchise, other ways to deliver deathblows called Brutalities have also appeared, giving gamers even more ways to obliterate their opponents in gory and satisfying manners. There are even hilarious alternatives to the body-horror ending moves known as Friendship finishers that are more comedic ways to end a bout. Each of the fan-favorite characters possesses unique ways to finish a fight with a fountain of victorious viscera.

10 Kabal
Kabal is a fighter who was horrifically burned and as a result, always wears a mask, and often looks zombie-like in appearance. He unwaveringly fights for Earthrealm, (where the typically heroic protagonists of Mortal Kombat reside), although he is predominantly antagonistic to the series. Kabal uses meathook-like sword blades to carve through foes in battle devastatingly pulling and yanking his opponents. He is extremely fast and uses his speed to gain advantages when fighting. If used well, the character is a dangerous force in MK11.

9 Kung Lao

Nevertheless, the master martial artist is a deadly opponent within the game series and a formidable challenge to most fighters he comes up against. Kung Lao is an expert at using his bladed brimmed hat, which he can throw at enemies and call back to his hands at will.

Cassie fights for Earthrealm using a combination of her Dad’s Martial Arts skills, Her Mom’s firearm military training, and her remote control battle drone. Cassie has also inherited her father’s powerful green energy-infused attacks, leaving her with a stacked arsenal-like ability set in MK11.

Using a combination of grappling, ground pounds, heating up his cybernetic arms, and throwing bone-crushing punches, Jax is a threatening opponent who can control a fight very strategically in MK11, while also looking cool as ever.

1 RoboCop
Dead or alive, you’re coming with him. In a spectacular reveal, Alex Murphy, aka, “RoboCop” was released as a DLC character in the MK11 lineup! The character comes from the iconic 1987 film of the same name, in which a good police officer gunned down by thugs is later reborn as a cyborg law enforcer. RoboCop has greatly enhanced strength and bulletproof durability. He is armed with an arsenal of weaponry including his hand blade, rockets, an inbuilt riot shield, an electrical defense system, foot blades, a Cobra Assault Cannon, and his famous Auto-9 handgun. Due to being mainly machine, Murphy’s attack power is stellar, his aim accuracy is flawless, and many attacks inflicted upon him have little to no effect. A fan favorite in film pop culture, RoboCop is a MK11 character many fans are ecstatic about and many agree he was the most unique addition to the game’s ongoing lore.
Here Are All Of RoboCop’s Finishers:
