He comes from a world of magic and monsters. They probably spontaneously grow and shrink.

In X-Men terms, think of Marrow instead of Wolverine.

Well that pretty much explains it the way I would. Not to mention we are talking about a fictional video game character. In that case I STILL want to know how Jax does this.

Jax has no fatalities in MK3.

Nope. They don't exist. Never happened. Lalalalala I can't hear you.

Jax can hear them though, because of his big, giant, ears!

The thing I wonder is, in deception Baraka's "blades" appear to not even have an edge, in renders they just look like round spikes of metal with a sharp point at the end. I mean, that still makes them deadly, but they wouldnt cut anyone unless he used the very tip.

Also, another thing that bothered me about Baraka in MK vs DC was that during the story mode he could fully articulate his words, notice how he has no lips just straight teeth, he wouldn't be able to speak that well at all.

They're more triangular or half-circle shaped, really. The flat side and sharp edges are facing away from us in that pic.



Let's go with magic. Same reason Mileena can not just talk, but imitate Kitana, without having lips.
