Mortal Kombat's Baraka: A Surprisingly Nuanced and Powerful Fighter with Gruesomely Satisfying Fatalities

Baraka's MK1 Fatalities are grotesque yet simple to perform, like Split Decision where he splits the opponent's head and torso in half.
His second Fatality disembowels the opponent, suspends them above a fire, and has Tarkatans tear them apart while alive.
Baraka was cast as a villain but MK1 shows him teaming up with Earthrealm fighters against Shang Tsung.
Playing as Baraka reveals his power as a skilled ranged kombatant with brutal finishers.
The videos demonstrate how to perform the Fatalities by pressing specific buttons from certain positions.
