Takeda Takahashi is the son of Kenshi and the last Mortal Kombat 1 kombatant to be introduced as part of Kombat Pack 1. He's a relatively new fighter in the grand scheme of things, with his first franchise appearance having come in 2015's Mortal Kombat X. That's not to say that he isn't still popular though.

Mortal Kombat 1: How to Perform Every Fatality (& What They Look Like)

A guide explaining how to perform every Fatality in Mortal Kombat 1 with videos showing what they look like in action and where players need to stand.

By 

Takeda fights using a variety of weapons, although is best known for his barbed whips. It's these that he uses most in Mortal Kombat 1, both during regular kombat and when performing his finishers. For those interested in the latter, the following guide will cover the button inputs for both of Takeda's MK1 Fatalities.

The videos featured in this guide contain graphic scenes that have been rated 'Mature' by the ESRB. Viewer discretion is advised.

To perform Takeda's Millipede's Bite Fatality, players will need to press Down, Forward, Down, Front Kick (X on PlayStation, A on Xbox, or B on Switch) while standing at medium range. If done correctly, Takeda will wrap his barbed whips tightly around the other Kombatant's torso and then quickly retract them. The barbs on the whips will cut deeply into the other fighter's flesh like a chainsaw, eventually causing their body to explode and their head to fly high up into the air. Takeda isn't finished just yet though, and with a quick lash from one of his whips, he slices the severed head clean in half.

Those hoping to pull off Takeda's second Fatality should press Back, Forward, Back, Back Punch (Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox, or X on Switch) while standing at Medium range. Doing so will result in Takeda firing his whips through the other fighter's chest and then kicking them so that their body is torn apart as it is dragged along the whips' barbs. Finally, he pulls the two twisted whips apart, creating a shockwave that ripples along the whips before cutting the other Kombatant in half. Takeda then takes a moment to celebrate with his Kameo fighter of choice.
