How to perform Brutalities in Mortal Kombat 1
To perform a Brutality in Mortal Kombat 1, you need to end the final round of a match with an uppercut. To do this, you need to reduce the opponent's health to the minimum level and press Down + Back Punch (Triangle for PS and Y for Xbox). After the punch, the enemy's head will fly out along with their spine, and the match will end with the Brutality inscription.
Currently, there is only information about Classic Brutality in Mortal Kombat 1. It's performed in the same way for all characters, and simply beheads the enemy.
In the previous game in the series, Mortal Kombat 11, there were also unique Brutalities for each character. The new game will most likely have them as well, but for now, the default one is your best bet of securing a Brutality.
In Mortal Kombat 11, to perform a Brutality, you had to avoid blocking attacks in the final round. Fortunately this isn't a parameter for performing a Brutality in Mortal Kombat 1, so even if you're equally low on health but manage to get that final uppercut in, you'll witness a gruesome finishing move.
