It has been years since Mortal Kombat included friendships, but finally Mortal Kombat 11 via the Aftermath update is including them for all players to enjoy. These finishing maneuvers allow you to end the match with flair, but instead of engaging in hyper violence, your character will do something funny and silly instead. Here’s how to do friendships in Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath.
Friendships were originally added in Mortal Kombat 2 in response to the controversy over the original games violent fatalities. Instead of slicing people in half, Kung Lao would pull a rabbit out of his hat for example.
In any game, Friendships are just as tough to pull off as fatalities if you’re not experienced inputting them. You have to be in the right location and input the right buttons in a set amount of time.
Make sure you’re in the right location (noted below) and take your time pushing the buttons. You don’t want to be too slow to the extent where the game can’t even recognize you’re stringing together buttons, but at the same time, if you’re just flailing hitting the buttons as fast as you can you won’t get it right doing that either. A steady pace is key when you’re trying to get it down.
Although most people playing at this point have probably done a fatality or two, pulling off these new friendships in Mortal Kombat 11 shouldn’t be too tough.
Anyway, you can check out the full list of friendships in Mortal Kombat 11 below.
