Mortal Kombat X.
Mortal Kombat X! Yes!
Oh my gosh. The fatality one, right?
I've been waiting for this so long.
Yes!
It's bloody. That's what I like.
I'm excited for the gruesomeness of this.
I want to pull someone's spine out.
I've played Mortal Kombat since the PS2. So I know Mortal Kombat.
I've been practicing. I've actually been practicing.
I'm gonna wreck. I have the ultimate combos.

(Finebros) Before we start, we're gonna let you all
look at your special moves and fatalities.
- (Chelsea) Okay. - (Becca) Oh.
- Can you help me to decide? - (Chelsea) Yeah.
(Becca) So we have nut punch, but we also have nut breaker.
(Chelsea) Nut breaker sounds a lot better than nut punch.
(game announcer) Round one. Fight!
(in game: both grunting)
(Chelsea) Okay, you got the kicks down, man.
(Becca) I only memorized one move!
(Chelsea) I don't even know what I'm doing!

(Becca) What is this?
(Chelsea gasps) Did I just throw someone?
Come on. I'm just--

Okay, this is bad. Come on, come on. Come on, Scorpion!

- No, don't finish him. - (Becca) How do I finish him?
(Chelsea) Don't finish me.
At least I get your autograph. I mean, that's nice.

I did it and I won.

(Tori) Warning ahead: I'm probably gonna end up
pulling out your spine, if I figure it out.
So let's see what happens.

(Tori) Are you gonna be one of those people
who keeps on doing the same move?
'Cause there's gonna be a problem if that's gonna happen.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I always panic, and then I end up button-smashing.

How do I put-- oh!
Am I winning?

(Geneva) Yo, try to use your special move.
(Olivia) I don't know how to do the special moves.
I didn't have time to memorize those things.

(Reptile) Another weakling.
(Ethan) Aw man, I forgot to look at the stealth combo.
Damn it. That's what I was trying to remember.
(Seth) That one's useless anyways. I can still see you.
(Ethan) It doesn't matter. It could be helpful.
Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out where everything is.

(Ethan) It's already an unfair advantage.
(Seth) Teleport. Punch.
(Ethan) Button-mashing is only successful in Killer Instinct,
'cause all it is is quarter-round turn.
Whereas this actually backs it up.

(Seth) Yeah? Wait. Oh jeez.
You know what? I'm just gonna do it the easy way.

I've never actually done this one. So...

(Seth) I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Ethan.

then it'd be an interesting fight.
