Fatalities

**Fatalities** are a combat mechanic in Mother Russia Bleeds.

## Description

Fatalities are special instant-kill moves that are only accessible in Berserk Mode, and thus, cannot be preformed if the player is using the Blue Lagoon strain of Nekro, as well as the Godmother strain of Nekro as well.

They are noteworthy for how the game's camera will zoom in under most circumstances (exceptions to this being preforming a fatality with a certain strain of Nekro, like the Moscow Mule) when preforming them, giving these moves a cinematic feel to them.

Fatalities can be preformed on almost every enemy in the game, with the exception of bosses obviously, as well as certain enemies, like Riot Police, Pigs, Dogs, and Shadows, the last one in this list being immune because Fatalities cannot be preformed on other player characters, and the Shadows use the sprites of the player characters, who lack the sprites for fatalities entirely.

They are worth about 200 points each and usually can be preformed twice in a row with most strains of Nekro, before ending Berserk mode completely, however, the aformentioned Moscow Mule strain will allow the player to preform up to five fatalities before ending Berserk Mode.

It should be noted that Fatalities do not count towards the kill count and the scoring at the end of a level, although because every player character has only a limited amount of Nekro to use, this is irrelevant towards the amount of kills the player characters will rack up.

Each player character has a different "execution method" for their fatality.

* Sergei will grab his opponent by the collar and preform a mighty uppercut, decapitating them and allowing him to use their Severed Head as a weapon.
* Ivan will grab his opponent by the head with both hands and squee down hard enough to obliterate it.
* Natasha grasps at her opponents neck and tears out their trachea.
* Boris grabs his opponent and preforms a fatal version of his backbreaker that splits his enemy in half.

## Trivia

* All of the fatalities seem to be references to famous scenes of violence from various forms of media.
	+ Sergei's fatality resembles Johnny Cage's decapitating uppercut fatality, the "Head Pop" from *Mortal Kombat*.
	+ Ivan's fatality seems to be based off the scene from the *Game of Thrones* where The Mountain kills Oberyn by crushing his head with his bare hands.
	+ Natasha's fatality might be based off the scene in the movie *Road House* where the protagonist Dalton finishes off one of the antagonists, Jimmy, by ripping out his trachea with his hands.
	+ Boris's fatality seems to be inspired by the scene from *Batman: Knightfall*, where Bane defeats Batman by preforming a backbreaker on him.
