I would change the first to a scalping instead of a beheading, first of all.

For the second, Animality. There are two characters in MK for whom turning into a creature makes actual sense: Liu Kang and Nightwolf.

Possibly also Scorpion, I rather like his one from MK4. But Scorp has plenty of other cool stuff to choose from, he can live without his. For the other two, it's actually iconic to their powers that they do their transformations, I believe.

Don't like his first fatality... they can change that. So an animality with a wolf/wolves would be great.
For his other fatality I rather have his fatality from MK3, with the Spirit Light coming from the Sky and absorb the body.

I dunno, he uses the spirit beam so much already, to teleport away in tag and during his ending, I'd rather see a callback to the channeling lightning into his axe and redirecting it at the opponent, if they were gonna remake one of his MK3 finishers.

Okay, so I just thought this one up since I saw the thread.

Nightwolf pulls out his spirit bow and draws an arrow back. He fires off a couple arrows into their standing body, a couple alone at first and then ends with his Multishot Arrows and fires three in. Then he charges forward with his Rhino Charge, but before he connects he swings upward with his spirit tomahawk and splits them vertically down the center. Que the victory pose as their body splits apart and slumps to the floor riddled with arrows

Maybe, but it has some cool potential. I could see the beam first take of the skint, then the organs and then the skeleton.
With the lightning fatality, I'm scared they would make it as blant as the current one.
The current one could have been a lot better. For example he could have kicked the opponent to the floor. Appear with two daggers, throwing each one to a hand to pierce them to the ground, them struggling to get out of it. Then he could have come with the tomahawk thrown it at the head, splitting it in two.

But you can't argue tastes, right?

I'd like for him to use his Spirt Beam to burn off half the flesh of the lower body. While he/she trys to escape, he walkes over and slams the axe in the middle of the face.

I agree with the Animality style Fatality! As a Native American, I've heard a lot of folklore about Skin-Walkers, or Werewolves as some you might like to call it. In fact, the name 'Nightwolf' could literally mean Skin-Walker.

He could start out his Fatality screaming in pain as he transforms into his Skin-Walker form and lunges at his victim, pinning him/her to the ground and biting out their rib cage or something, then drag the bloody body around like a rag-doll, then finally eating pieces of his victim... Epic!

It's better than throwing a damn tomahawk at their head...

1. He definitely needs a SCALP Fatality by using his NEW green knife to do it slowly.

2. He should keep his decaptitation one though, but incorporate it into a Brutality combo; perfect combo-end

3. His light beam shall return, no questions, it's his most famous/known fatality, his lightning axe was too Raidenish/Rainish/Thorish unless it's mixed-in with to his decaptitation fatality.

4. Animalities should return, regardless if everyone gets one or not, HE SHOULD, think of the graphics of him changing into the wolf, and make each animal kill differently and realistic (not a stupid colorful wolf/polar bear hump lol), like make him eat the stomach area pulling out the opponents intestines and snapping them like a slim-jim; whereas Sub Zero's Polar Bear could just maul the f... out of em, and Kung Lao's Cheetah could attack the head (I always thought that Kung Lao's cheetah fit him very well and was realistic - he should get one also regardless).

If they don't incorporate his light beam into a fatality, then it should become his new HARI-KARI!!!

If for some wierd reason Friendships return, which I hope not, he should place an apple on the opponent's head and shoot an arrow into it, make the opponent think their fixin to get killed.

I'm actually hoping on some wolf/werewolf fun or something with the elements/plants and such natural things.


I fear we get another axe/bow fatality to suit this all physcial list of fatalities.

One thing that would be pretty cool is to have Nightwolf transform and go into first person, so you can see what he sees in his wolf form biting and ripping into the throat of his opponent.

Like in the movie where Liu Kang is fighting him.

Or better yet, he misses the Apple entirely and hits the arrow directly in his opponent's face. If Friendships did return, the victim should still be killed, but in a very 'humorous' way.

The light beam, one Fatality I forgot about, should come back! It should last longer than it did in MK3. The light should beam at his opponent and you can watch the light slowly dissect them, like their skin pealing off, then the muscles, so forth.

You know, I've been throwing around the idea for a wolf/ werewolf transformation fatality for a while. He doesn't necessarily have to transform into
a wolf but he can summon a werewolf spirit kinda like overlapping his model. I'm thinking of the boss from tekken tag tournament, imagine that thing devouring your enemy.... Sweet.

I would want it to look more like a wolf and less like a monster if it comes out of him, I still think a wolf coming out of his body like it's his true spirit would be awesome but transforming would be ok too, I just want something more than chop chop chop for the fatalities you know what I mean? I don't think they all have to be "cut this off or cut that off" then it just looks like the same old thing and nobody is trying to be creative. There are a few characters IMO that should be more than just rip this or tear that, but nightwolf is such a cool character I want to see them give him one that really is a bit more epic than "hey let's throw the tomohawk at the guy's head"

heres a few ideas:

Idea 1: Nightwolf takes his tomahawk out at close range, chops off both arms, takes a big overhanded swing, while letting out a big comanche style war cry and buries it into the opponents face. The opponent staggers back and falls to the ground in a bloody pile.

Idea 2: Nightwolf wields his scalping knife, walks up, makes several quick stabs to the lungs and throat. As the opponent gasps for air, he grabs the knife with both hands and slices the opponent down the length of the stomach, spilling blood and the opponents vital organs onto the ground. The opponent falls face down, Nightwolf steps over them and picks them up by the hair of the head and begins sawing back and forth as he claims their scalp as a trophy. He lifts their scalp in victory and lets out his trademark war cry as a victory pose.

Hope you guys like it,

Ace

Maybe perhaps he summons two green wolves to rip the limbs off the kharacter?

He grabs the victim pulling out his knife and slowly starts scalping the victim while you here his screams(how do you scalp a cyborg?). Then he backs off and whistles. A pack of spirit wolves shows up and mauls the helpless victim.

Simple but very bloody

Pull back on them dreads and saw away with one hell of a knife lol, yet the cyborgs still have some human parts and maybe they'll work with that, because there's other fatalities that might occur the same scenario, similar to how Mileena will bite their face in her fatality.

Anything involving actual wolves.

Summoning his spiritual guides,actually turning into one,whatever.

One way or another,I want to see someone get their throat ripped out.

The spirit beam is one of my favorite fatalities, I really hope that it becomes one of his fatalities once again. I like the fact that when he uses it to "disappear" it looks so harmless but the fatality that uses it that incinerates the opponenet kinda feels like its giving the opponent false hope, so to speak.

Or imagine Nightwolf summoning the spirits of his people to surround you (like tens and hundreds of them) to give you a barrage of arrows and tomahawks (like a firing squad kind of death).

I'm for that concept,

Adding to it, I’d like to see that be his ancestor’s spirit in wolf form fully engulfing and overlapping him in a bright light, so much so Nightwolf couldn’t be seen. But when it bites the opponent, it’s still physical and brutal.

That sounds like an improvement to an animality, but still having a heavy influence from it.

A similar concept could work for Liu Kang,

Instead of actually turning into a dragon, it’s chi all around him. It’s kind of like him showing off with what he can manipulate chi into.

best idea idea of the thread. i always thought his animality should reapear. he was always one of my favorite characters besides smoke and quan chi just because of his animality

If NRS is listening to their fans, I have a feeling we will see a wolf-based 2nd (or 3rd?) fatality. So many people have been asking for it, and the team seems to take notice when the community has a mass request.

I don't mind his revealed fatality...very to the point...maybe they will polish it up a bit prior to release?

Yeah I have to agree that it would really make sense for Nightwolf to have a wolf-based fatality. Not suggesting Animalities for everyone in the game, just make it his special thing. He's a shaman, and his name is NightWOLF. It would really make him stand apart from the crowd.

How can Nightwolf have the Wolf fatality, the light beam fatality AND a fatality using his hatchet? I thought Boon said that it's going to be two fatalities per character?
