Despite inhabiting the fighting game realm - a genre perhaps associated with lifelike violence - the Super Smash Bros. series has done exceptionally well in keeping its games clean and friendly. However, YouTuber Sterling has added a twist to the beloved Nintendo franchise, and created a video containing a mash-up of two of the current most popular fighting games: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Mortal Kombat X.
The snappy video below (no pun intended) shows a handful of Smash Bros. characters performing their usual strikes, except the damage dealt is made ever more apparent with the seamless fusion of Mortal Kombat X's 'X-Ray' moves.
Check out the video below, and, as expected with any footage from the Mortal Kombat series, viewer discretion is advised due to graphic content. If you're familiar with both games, can you think of any other combinations of a Smash Bros. character's move with a Mortal Kombat X 'X-Ray'?

I was expecting what was on the pic.
Awesome. It's pretty cool to see these kinds of remixes.
Link - "GET OVER HERE!!!"
@KO-Cub How did this not make the video!?
That last Ganondorf kick really puts it into perspective of how it probably actually happened. LOL
That Ganondorf kick was my favourite. It was edited in very well.
@KO-Cub - +1.
Awesome
Good cuts, gotta admit. But I never was a fan of trying to compare cartoon violence with actual violence (or in this case, nobody-cares-violence).
Brilliant editing! I'm glad they went with the X-Ray moves instead of the Fatalities. Those are WAY too violent. WAY too violent.
Man if only Super Smash Bros. is rated M, the kids will never see Mario and friends the same way again though I think Fire Emblem character wouldn't feel any different since they killed each other every day.
Even though this video is very good edited, I would not welcome violence in Super Smash Bros. It does not fit with the thematic of the game unlike Mortal Kombat and to be honest, as much as I like brutal and violent games, Mortal Kombat is not really my piece of cake.
@KO-Cub Heh, Should've got that in the end.
@SnuggleMon "I would not welcome violence in Super Smash Bros". Yeah, characters bashing each others face in with fists, boxing gloves, bats and claws, blowing each other up with explosives or setting each other on fire certainly is not violence.
Cool! I wish there was more, for some reason...
@SnuggleMon Please, tell me which genre the Super Smash Bros. series is in.
@WaddleDeeWeegee - Action, Party. The whole core of Smash is characters competing against each other and having fun. You played the first chapter of Subspace Emissary? They may have violence but it's extremely mild compared to characters out right killing each other with insane moves.
@Mrrabbitpuncher
There is a difference between realistic violence and cartoon violence. Realistic violence as in Mortal Kombat ends with the opponent killed while Cartoon violence as in Super Smash Bros only defeats the enemy, but keeps them alive. That is what I meant when I said "I would not welcome violence in Super Smash Bros". Blood and gore does not fit in this cartoon world, it would only disturb the nature of these games.
@WaddleDeeWeegee Super Smash Bros is an Beat 'em Up game, that contains “Cartoon Violence, Comic Mischief and Mild Suggestive Themes". Now please don't tell me that you think that Super Smash Bros is on the same violence level as Mortal Kombat, because that would be ridiculous.
Just pointing out the obvious, the violence in Mortal Kombat has never been that realistic either. <_< Unless of course an uppercut causes about a quart of blood to fly out of somebody every time.
It's more like a hyper violent cartoon than anything.
