Unlike a Mortal Kombat Fatality, the No Mercy move does not involve gore and dismemberment. One of these No Mercy moves can be executed at the end of a combo (which is labeled as an Ultimate combo), when the opponents life bar flashes red (when his or her second bar is going to be depleted), although it uses a different combination of movements.

Finishing moves: Present in the first and second games and bearing resemblance to Mortal Kombat's Fatalities, each character has at least two moves known as No Mercy (Danger Move in later revisions) in order to kill the opponent in a violent manner.

Automatic combos: rather than press the necessary buttons in order to deliver the individual attacks that form a combo, in Killer Instinct the combos are automated and can be enabled by inputting a determined button or special move (which causes the character to deliver a string of hits).

The player who depletes his or her opponent's second life bar wins the bout. If a character finishes with his or her opponent's first life bar, the fight stops and resumes like a round, but the winning character still keeps whatever amount of energy they had at that moment.

A double energy bar: instead of winning two rounds, each player has two bars of energy.

There are also several features that distinguish it from other franchises: The game borrows the attack set of Street Fighter and is also inspired by the finishing moves from Mortal Kombat.
