Perform a Fatality with all playable fighters

How to unlock the Finish What You Start! achievement in Mortal Kombat - Definitive Guide
Here is how you can perform the finishing moves:
- Fatalities can be done in Fatality Trainer, Arcade, Versus or Online.
- A Babality cannot be performed in Fatality Trainer.
- A Stage Fatality cannot be performed on Fatality Trainer.
- Stage Fatalities work on Living Forest, Pit, Hell, Street, Deadpool and Subway.
The Stage Fatalities can be done quicker by using a 2nd controller and going to Versus mode. At the character selection screen, hit the Y-button to choose a stage that a Stage Fatality can be performed on.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that while you can perform fatalities in Fatality Trainer, they will not count toward the achievement. In this case, the Fatality Trainer is for just that: training. BABALITIES DO NOT COUNT EITHER!
The 1st Fatalities can be found in your "Moves List" while paused.
Here are the 2nd Fatalities, Stage and Babality for all characters:
The distance in which you need to stand and face buttons are in parenthesis.
Remember that F = forwards, U= up, B = backwards, D = down and Block = RT.
Hold RT to keep from jumping on finishers that require you to hit up.
That is hold block, input finisher and quickly release block. It takes practice.
The fighters have been rearranged in alphabetical order for your convenience.

(For the purposes of this - go to options and change the rounds to win to 1)
First do both your forward and backward throws, then take charge of the other controller and beat yourself up (this is necessary, because your meter fills up faster when you're getting beat up. Once your X-Ray meter is full do the X-Ray attack. Then finish their health.
Once the finish him screen comes up, go to moves list, select your fatality and do it.
Also another quick note
Touching is when you're literally touching the opponent and theres no space between you and the opponent
Sweep is sweeping distance, where you would usually stand for a sweeping attack
Jump, is jumping distance, stand at touching distance and do one jump backwards.
Fullscreen is where you and your opponent occupy the full screen of your television.
Shouldn't take you more than 2 hours or so.
This will come naturally if you perform a Fatality with every character whilst going for the Arcade Champion trophy. It's also possible to use the touchscreen to perform the Fatality to avoid making the mistake of jumping or hitting the defeated opponent instead. All characters have two Fatalities each, with the exception of Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile, who have an extra third. Once you perform a Fatality with all 32 characters, the trophy will unlock. The moves are listed in the spoiler below and must be performed at the distance specified from the opponent for each one. If using the touch screen, just input the directions alone at the appropriate distance.

Fatalities are the final moves done at the end of each battle by the winning fighter. After the announcer shouts "Finish Him!" you must perform a specific combination of buttons to do the fatality. Distance is a key factor. Press and select Move List to see how to perform each Fatality or read this thread for a complete move list. If the Fatality requires you to press up on the d-pad, hold the Block button while inputting your combination so you don't jump.
You can keep track of this roughly in the Nekropolis by checking how many "-alities" a specific character has (beware, this also counts babalities), by keeping a checklist, or by running through all the characters in order. The Sans Power code again speeds things up.
This can not be done in Fatality Trainer.
You need to keep track of your fighters and perform a single fatality with every 28 characters; training DOESN’T count. You can keep track of the fighters in the Nekropolis. Pause the game once you see the “Finish him” label in the screen and go to the move list to see how to perform them. You can download this CHECKLIST to help keep track of the moves and fighters.
