Despite being support characters, Kameo fighters are not exempt from performing fatalities, and Darrius is no exception. Furthermore, His classic fatality, “Armed & Dangerous,” from the earlier games, has made a triumphant return, now rendered in even more brutal detail thanks to the enhanced graphics.

During the execution of the “Armed & Dangerous” fatality, Darrius ruthlessly tears off his opponent’s arms, following it up with two devastating strikes before delivering a final blow that sends their head flying.

My Thoughts

Darrius is overall a good Kameo, in my opinion. His unique fatality and skill make him the best Kameo out of all the other Kameos in the game.
