Taunts have been a big part of Mortal Kombat with the sheer amount of craziness that the characters are capable of. It never gets old seeing Johnny Cage make light of his opponents while playing to the crowd, however imaginary they are. While the taunts in Mortal Kombat 1 aren’t as zany as the past ones, they are very cool when used in the heat of battle. Here’s our list of the best taunts, ranked from worst to best.

This Icy Warrior is the first to make the list. Before you give us a cold reception, please realize that the actual taunts themselves aren’t bad. It’s just that the ones that are present aren’t that creative. Don’t get us wrong, it’s still awesome to see Sub Zero make ice props out of thin air and make cool kung-fu poses, but that’s something that most of the cast on the list share to some degree.
Li Mei at least tries to bring some of the magic back to the taunt matchups. She’s basically a magical lightshow with her conjuring pink-colored lanterns and sparkles. To be honest, she’s received a lot of improvements from her last playable appearance in the Deadly Alliance era. The main improvement is the actual role she has in the story and the fact that her character is a lot more mature and capable.
The blind swordsman is still looking awesome with his telekinetic-based taunts and emphasis on humiliating his opponents by bringing attention to the fact that he’s beating them up with no working eyes. It feels so satisfying to land combos on opponents while cupping your hand next to your ear, which is basically letting them know that their grunts are making too much noise. It’s also nice to see the return of Kenshi’s telekinetic ability while playing with Sento, his sword. It’s unfortunate that Kenshi, the character, couldn’t keep his eyes this time around, but it works just fine for us gamers.
Raiden isn’t quite the same person he was in previous games, but the electric fighter is still very confident in his abilities, especially when it comes to manipulating thunder. His taunts showcase this confidence with him doing his iconic electric finger move, with another one showcasing his Bruce Lee impression with him jumping on his toes. This is a much sprightlier version of the former thunder god than we are used to. We can’t wait to see how his story unfolds in later chapters.
Reptile has undergone more changes than any other Mortal Kombat character throughout its history. From masked ninja, masked lizard, full lizard, lizard hybrid, and now full lizard again with a human illusion, he effectively uses this trick along with his new taunts. This is really too good to use mid-combos, as his attacks also

Fighting games are not my forte, but I'm always enthralled by their ability to suck you in with an easy-to-learn yet hard-to-master formula. It's a trait that NetherRealm Studios has embraced by including over-the-top violence and flashy animations, so scrubs like me can jump in and have a jolly good time ripping spines with jellified innards clinging to them. From its arcade origins over 30 years ago, Mortal Kombat has evolved drastically, veering into the 3D era and differentiating itself from competitors like Street Fighter and Tekken by slowly sculpting the larger lore. So, it's not surprising to see a lot of confused faces when their 12th and latest entry is titled ‘Mortal Kombat 1,' a nomenclature decision that can easily clash with the 2021 live-action movie, the original 1992 game, and its 2011 reboot. Yep, this marks the second soft rejig for the franchise, but sadly, NetherRealm's latest fighting playground does little to explore new avenues.
In a rare moment of unanimous agreement, Mortal Kombat 1 players all seem to think that Sub-Zero is the weakest fighter on the roster thanks to his extremely low damage.
