I actually like the pole fatality in MKX. It's simple but clean and straight to the point
Kingdom Hearts intensifies 🤣
Same!
Raiden: "I must consult this worst-to-best list of my fatalities with the Elder Gods..."
Liu Kang: "You killed yourself while killing your opponent! Why?"
Raiden: "Because I can."
Kung Lao: "That doesn't make sense!"
Raiden: "Yes it does."
Hahah.
Liu Kang: U got all my friends, my (almost) brother and Kitana, killed
Liu Kang fighting Raiden: U have gone insane, if I have to kill u, then so be it!
*Gets shocked from Raidens self defense*
Raiden: NOOOOOOO!!! This wasnt meant to happen
"No pun intended"
Why should we believe you, Quan Chi? Why should we trust you?
I swear puns just come out naturally for me now when I don’t even mean it.😆
Where’s the pun?
I get a totally different feel and vibe from the fatality where he kills himself along side his opponent.
To me I see him channeling so much electricity and totally throwing his own life away to show just how much his bloodlust has grown and how much he truly wants to kill his opponent
Same here
These videos are a blast to watch and have “shocking” rankings
Hahah, good one!
@@the_NNPW video idea all millena fatalites ranked or goro
@@o.y.t2409 gggyhhkkioooolioklll. Pieskarieties vienumam, lai ielīmētu to tekstlodziņā.yhhj
Bro this was so funny, I’m “ frying “ over here
Way to shock the audience
"No pun intended"
*makes an eye pun 2 seconds later, and continues through the vid*
Also I personally would have put both Deception fatalities at the last places. They're literally the same but Raiden either kills himself or doesn't.
Haha lol. Puns are in my nature.
I knew the first Deception finisher would be dead last. I know on Maximilian’s video on Deception, he said both of Raiden’s were bad.
@Oskar Saliaris Not surprised 11s 1st place
11 has GORY fatalities, really does show how much detail they put in the fatalities (no series can outclass Mortal Kombat in terms of gore, not even GTA or DOOM can come close)
Raiden's Uppercut fatality in MK2 will always be my favorite.
It's so simple but damn it shows the power of a Thunder God, especially with the boom sfx that fills the lack of screaming or effort.
I think it's pretty interesting how his electrocution finish in MK2 is the only fatality I can think of that has a "fail" state. If you don't jam the button to cause the explosion it won't happen, but still counts a a fatality.
Kung Lao hat throw fatality?
The samurai costume raiden had in DA is pretty cool I wish they would have brought it back
Same here. It’s a nice one!
Reminds me of Fujin
Man, this list was absolutely *ELECTRIFYING* please don't hurt me
That was a good pun, so don’t worry about that!
Should’ve said shocking 💀
Imagine Raiden visited Tekken, Street fighter, King of fighters, Soul calibur or other fighting Game's for new warriors and recruits
I can just imagine him talking with Siegfried and Ryu to help fight against Shao Kahn.
That would be sick katsune
I would Imagine Dark Raiden vs Akuma
@@methodcobra better Dark Raiden vs Shin Akuma or his Oni form
I could see him going to the DC universe and trying to recruit Superman
"Johnny start the car!" LMAO! I forgot about that ending and always loved when Raiden shouted that gibberish when he shoved someone. To be honest, that was the best thing about the video cause I always felt Raiden has had weak fatalities just like Kano.
Thank you, BSB. Raiden’s finishers were a bit lackluster, but I’m happy we can laugh at the gibberish!
JBLARAGHSDAGHAHAHA! That's always been my favorite thing about Raiden. That and when he turned dark in Deception. It was more believable in the past timeline than the current one. I hope they give him better fatalities in the future though lol.
I love seeing the differences on people’s favorite fatalities and my own, my personal favorite Raiden Fatality is Transplant from MK9.
This is a great video, Raiden's one of my favorite characters and this video was definitely worth the wait
Honestly, number 11 had a reason to be THAT long because ya gotta cook the body just right until every single cell gets fried and the body both becomes black from the amount of extremely hot energy put into it and overloads with energy causing it to explode, making it a bit logical to make the fatality THAT long
I always thought that the MK4 fatality was supposed to look like he casts a lightning to the sky, then he picks up the opponent and the lightning fall on his back, huh
Yeah, I’m not sure what it went for.
Another great video buddy keep up the great work!!
Thank you, Captain! I appreciate it!
100% agree with your Number 1 pick, im generally not a fan of Raiden's fatalities as a whole but that particular one is an absolute standout among the series.
Also I am so glad Shang Tsung is next, he has some absolutely fantastic options
When I first saw Raidens fatality, I was Shocked!
Haha, good one!
The whole video is great, commentary very enjoyable but the words of wisdom cracked me up 😆 thanks for the video 🙂👍
I’m happy you had a blast with this video. Thank you for your time!
I love your fatality rankings so much
nice video. there worth the wait
Thank you, Cooper! The next one is already in the works!
Your videos keep getting better and better
Thank you, Peyton! That means a lot to me!
Love the content bro 😎
Thank you, bud! Be sure to stay tuned for more!
Another amazing video as always, I do enjoy going back down memory lane and revisiting all of these great fatalities, I just wish I can see more of these fatalities when PLAYERS ARE IN TOURNAMENTS FROM TIME TO TIME but that's just me. Anyways personally I do enjoy the later Mortal Kombat games fatalities with Raiden more specifically his lightning rod fatality, I agree it should have the opponent been burn to a crisp when hit with that lightning bolt but it was still good in my opinion.
lets go another vid i love these
I’m happy you love these videos! I hope you’re excited for more!
Well, the video was a blast :v ... Amazing job! Keep it up!
Thank you very much, and I appreciate the pun!
I'd have definitely chosen Raiden's MK2 uppercut for number 1. It's really the incredible sound design that makes it so good. First the thunderclap as he throws the punch, then the bones all hitting the floor, Raiden's electricity summon sound, then finally the head splatting on the ground. Pure perfection, I just wish it was easier to pull off as holding high punch during the fight is pretty distracting.
Hi Nick,
Once again such an electrifying video by you. I always get super charged when I see one of your videos and enjoyed it very much. I watched it from start to finish and was buzzing by the end. I would have put the first fatality from Mortal Kombat 1 a little higher but do like your reasoning. Wat a brilliant job you are doing.
Sorry I will stop the puns now. You didn't have so many today so thought I would put my own instead.
Keep up the good work.
Bro QNA I've been waiting for it
A QnA is coming soon. I’ll be making an official announcement about it in the Shang Tsung video.
I’m so glad u put his MK1 and MK2 fatalities so high! I completely agree! I think even his MK1 fatality is better than almost all his others!
Been wating for this one :DD
I’m glad to hear! I hope you like it!
I love this series!!!! You are an amazing showman!
Why thank you very much! That just put a huge smile on my face!
@@the_NNPW No! Thank you for the video!!!! As the wise kidd thunder would say: THUNDER!!!!!!
Good vid nick keep it up
Thank you, Nick! I appreciate it!
Awesome videos! Going through them all
You should do ranked character endings from worse to best. That would be awesome
That sounds like an amazing idea! Thanks for sharing!
Your vids are so high quality. Amazing video dude keep it up
Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
Shocking video as usual. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, El Pollo! I hope you stick around for the next episode!
@@the_NNPW Sure man!
Dude watching some of the old gameplay is sick like the multiple fighting styles like jujitsu and staff for raiden and then the quick time events in mk vs dc some of that stuff is pretty cool
Man exams are here so I can't watch your videos but when my exams are finished I will start watching your videos again
Thank you and I understand. Make scoop your number one priority. Best of luck on your exams!
@@the_NNPW thanks man
Great videos! Looking forward to more....maybe finishing moves ranked for the playable characters who debuted in MK2?
Thank you very much! MK2 sounds like it’ll be fun to cover!
I personally did like the SNES version of Raiden ‘s fatality. Shocking his opponent and turning their skeleton into dust.
Aye what is that track playing in the background!? You ain't slick, I hear that slapper under the commentary. ❤😊
Oh man, how these videos are cool - especially this one.
I was way happy to see the good old MK1 fatality ranked quite high. Sucha classic! ...Oh man! Those were the days, when MK1 came out... The MK game serie has seemingly gone a long way since. I remember playing from MK1 up to MK3 on PC back in the days. At some point I got to test out the MKvsDC game on some console - which kinda sucked at the end of the day...🤣🤣
When you’re done with the rankings you plan on doing. You should do one of these on the guest characters fatalities
That’s definitely an idea I’ve considered doing and I’m happy to hear more people want it! I’ll do it soon!
Raiden is definitely one of the best of the “Expedition Dump Mentor” stereotype
Your puns are great I find them really punny 😉
Bro the mk9 finishers were so good. Loved em.
For Raiden or everyone? I loved many of those finishers!
@@the_NNPW everyone in general but in raidens case I think they're certainly better in 9 than they are 11. In my opinion at least
The Nickster has done it again... And this time... With the force of lightning. 💪
I agree with you on everything especially on the 3 worst and 3 best Raiden fatalities,the Thunder God was always one of yhe most important things in the franchise that removing him could potentially ruin the franchise much more than Scorpion and Sub-Zero,being a mentor to Liu Kang and Kung Lao fits perfectly and I love that he treats them like his sons as a father figure and being a protector of Earthrealms because he cares the mortals the most is s brilliant concept,hell I always consider and believe that one of the things that makes him relatable is that he's a God with flaws who can make mistakes which is a good idea since other than Raiden and Fujin all of the Gods in the franchise are horrendous creatures,all in all I love the character in many way,shape,and form and I hope and pray that in future games those electric blades become a permanent moveset(although I was suprised that you didn't show the MK 1995 version of the character,but in all honesty I never have or will like that version for alot of reasons)and that his fatalities improves over time to be extremely shocking,as for the next video even though he's not my favorite villain of the franchise(that title for me at least belongs to the Fallen Elder God,the Necromancer Sorcerer,and the Crimson Cyborg)Shang Tsung is one of the franchise most iconic villains that it's a good idea to be the next one and I will wait but I wonder what soul stealing trick are you going to put on the ranked video,only time will tell.
I agree with this list. Mk11 always didn't disappointed me with the fatalities.
I like how in all the MK11 showcases you used D'vorah as a test subject
One of the best vids so far! Is Kano next
Thank you very much! Kano already has an episode you can check out by visiting my channel!
Oh yeah, I meant to say Shang Tsung
Loved the video (and the wise words of Raiden 😂)
BTW, Next time, can you bring Kung lao or Fujin?
Thank you very much, I’m happy you appreciated the meme too! Kung Lao is someone many have asked for, so I’ll get to him soon!
I think fujin would need to have a collab. He only has 4 finishers I think
7:32 this one should be 2 best fatality because it was so impressive to see it at the arcades back those days .
this video has given me courage to consult with the elder gods
I always love it in the original trilogy when someone explodes into bones and arms the sound they make when they bounce onto the ground
Raiden's MKDA Fatality is underrated, definitely a favorite of mine.
shokingly bad pos wn , you are a mad lad
The amount of puns you make isn’t even *shocking* at this point.
That was a good one! Thanks for the laugh!
I’m also not a big fan on self destruct fatalities but it works for raiden, using so much power it destroys his human form but regains it by the next fight. Really emphasizes the fact he’s immortal.
Love yer channel, has anyone told you, TKO and you sound so similar ?
Thanks for your comment! And which member of TKO do I sound like, Matt?
Finally 😏
NickNakPadyWak makes my day better 😊
That just made my day! Thank you very much!
I think the same with a lot, specially the top 5 and the first place 😁
Waited through all of school for this video lol
Hopefully, it was worth the wait!
@@the_NNPW most definitely was ^_^
So. Good.
On the MK vs DCU finishers, why does it sound like Raiden's choking or having an asthma attack before he starts the fatality? I've wondered this for a while
I liked the mk deception fatality because it for the narrative of raiden sacrificing himself when onaga appeared , worst had to be the mk4 staff impale, best mk2 shock
''No pun intended''
Oh please! They are very intended...
You got me…
Yes finally, I love raiden I hope next u can do kitana after kung lao😁😁
That would be… fan-tastic!
You can even make good puns when replying to comments haha 😄
@NickNackPadyWak
Raiden can be shockingly Brutal on his Opponents⚡️⚡️⚡️
The only self destruct fatalities I do like is Cyber Smokes Armageddon, and Cyrax's Oblivion. On a side note, the self-destruction move I hate the most is King of Fighters Foxy's (Honeybee Suicide Attack) I think the creators were on dope when they came up with that idea.

Great job
Can’t wait to see Kung Lao
Thank you! I hope you’re excited for that episode!
@@the_NNPW you bet
I love how #2 glitched out and showed the start of the fight which would've made it #1 if it was a feature and not a glitch
It Would Be Neat If You Could Teleport Slam Into A Noob Saibot Video.
Oooh I see what you did there!
could you do like a little series like this but with brutalities?
It would be a really long video per character, but it would be loads of fun!
You could see just how amped up Raiden was in some of those
You’re energetic puns are just electrifying.
@@the_NNPW we could get charged for these puns!
Y'know the MK4 fatality makes me think Raiden wanted some Mongolian barbecue
Yeaaaaaah Nickkk
Thank you JJ!!!
10:15 Don't lie, you did intend that pun.
You got me!
15:39 cyber ninja: all right will call it a draw
He should’ve said that to prevent becoming a touchdown celebration.
Yeah maybe
You probably mentioned this in your intro but no MK3 fatalities?
i wished they got more creative with the uppercut brutality in mk11 and made it character specific..they could have brought back the raiden uppercut
At least with the Cyber Ninjas, self-destruct fatalities fit with the lore around the Cyber-Initiative!
I like your videos i love what you did for Mileena but i would love if you make a video like this for Kitana :D
Thanks, Ninetales! Don’t worry, Kitana will be getting an episode coming soon.
@@the_NNPW can't wait
Would you be able to do rains ? If not that’s fine just want to ask
You should rank characters brutalities next as some of them are decent
I must consult with the elder gods on this list
Raiden is cool!
I kinda love the suicide finisher one because its just so stupid its funny..I hope it returns in some fashion.
11:53 that's actually my favorite raiden fatality
You should do all the characters
That would be a neat idea!
Just curious: for a lot of the playable gods in the series, are u gonna lump them together in 1 video? Cuz that would be a burning passion (Fire God Liu Kang pun)
That’s definitely a good idea! I could try and do something like that soon!
I would’ve ranked the 1st MKX fatality a bit higher because I feel it was the better of the two.
Good point you made there.
More electric weapons, plz!

Forget fatalities, can we talk about how dripped out this guy is in every game he's in?
