Few video game franchises have creators as actively involved with their communities as NetherRealm Studios’ Ed Boon is with the fighting game staple\u00a0Mortal Kombat<\/em> and its latest entry\u00a0Mortal Kombat 11<\/em><\/strong>. Whether it be teasing upcoming DLC characters or promoting Mortal Kombat<\/em> memes involving Bernie Sanders’ mittens<\/a>, Boon can often be found talking to fans on social media.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Boon brought attention to one fan’s video recreating the Fatal Blow and Fatality for Jax Briggs<\/a> in Mortal Kombat 11<\/em>. The 17-year-old Nigerian indie filmmaker and self-proclaimed “real life game character” Ayo The Creator uploaded a video of their “zero budget” recreation to Twitter on January 29, and Boon reposted it later that day.<\/p>\n

The video’s low budget adds to its charm, with Jax’ metal arms being replaced by chalky dust during the Fatal Blow and his explosive device being replaced by a can of Pringles during the Fatality – which caught Boon’s attention in particular. Most of the animations that involve characters cartoonishly flying away or being punched in half are replicated with Photoshop editing, and all of the blood one might expect from Mortal Kombat 11<\/em><\/a> has been swapped out for water effects.<\/p>\n
