Mortal Kombat 1 allows you to taunt your opponents, which is a sick way of humiliating your enemies even more before you defeat them in combat. Here’s exactly how you can taunt in Mortal Kombat 1.

More than any other fighting game series, MK has given players plenty of freedom when it comes to taking down their foes. We’ve seen Fatalities, Brutalities, Babailities, Quitalities, Animalities, Friendship, and even Mercy! But Mortal Kombat 1 goes one step further with the taunt option.

MK1 is making no mistake and giving players free rein to dish out a taunt whenever they want to. It’s insulting and idiotic, and we love it. So, if you’re feeling cocky, then let’s show you how to taunt your unfortunate opponent in the game.

Can you taunt in Mortal Kombat 1?

You 100% can taunt in Mortal Kombat 1 and you simply just need to press down four times on whichever controller you are using.

For a brief summary of the steps required to pull it off, check these out:

Load into a fight against an AI or a human opponent using any character.
If you’re on PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch, press the down button on the D-Pad four times.
If you’re on PC, use the down key or the applicable keybind you have assigned.
Do it four times in a row in quick succession.
Your chosen character will then proceed to pull off their equipped taunt.

Be careful though, you will have to see the animation through to its conclusion. This means if you misjudge the time and place to use it, you could leave yourself helpless and open to a devastating, round-ending combo!

On the other hand, if you do pull it off, then you have the chance to psyholcogically break the enemy. Even if you don’t, it’s still funny, isn’t it?
