I know you're all sick of "bring back animality/ babality/ brutality/etc" threads, but this is not another request an animality thread, just hear me out.

Forget about MK3/UMK3/MKT. Let's take a look at what MK4 had going. Personally I liked the fatalities in MK4 cause it had a good variety of fatalities, even animal fatalities.

Scorpion, staying true to his name, could change into a fully rendered, gigantic scorpion. The way he finishes off his victim is quite brutal, he grips them by the legs with its claws, impales their torso with its sharp tail, and pulls it back to rip the torso completely off. That was brutal.

Liu Kang, the only other character in the game who changed into an animal (as we all know, the dragon), and well, you know what he does... I'm not going to go through every detail.


Now I have been thinking for quite some time now, how cool would it be with next gen graphics (UE3), to have the worlds most feared predators, finish off our defeated opponents? Not all characters should have one though, just a few to keep things in balance.

Here's a list of just some of the world's most feared predators in the animal kingdom:

-great white shark
-tiger
-anaconda
-giant squid or octopus
-lion
-dragon (even though it's mythical and we've seen it from Liu, who doesn't love dragon fatalities?)
-Tyrannosaurus rex
-gorilla


I know what some of you readers are going to tell me, almost all of those have been in MK3, my point is to have more than just a lion transformation biting their victim a few times and thats it. Make it cinematic, have the lion growl, stare into the victims eyes, jump at him with its claws wide open scratching/ shredding them leaving open wounds everywhere, then finally biting their head off viciously with their fearsome teeth.


Post your opinions, I know many will not agree (those who are narrowminded thinking straightforward with MK3/ trilogy). But I think this would be great, coming from a true MK fan since the beginning.

Pheh. N00bs.
That aside, not bad. So long as the animal matches the fighter in question, a hit might be guaranteed. I.e. Shang and snakes, Liu and Dragon and Nightwolf and wolves.

this should never come back ever again. reasons why are very clear:

they sucked

scorpion was a penguin

stryker was a t-rex

and retpile was a monkey

why were the majority of the characters did not turn into an animal that was somewhat similar to that character? sheeva as a scorpion totally made scorpion looked like shit. reptile turning into a monkey? for heaven sakes he's a reptile, why on earth would you make a REPTILE into a MONKEY? either the guy who made the list for what character turns into what was on crack, or they were seriously not being careful on what they were doing.

whether or not you really want these to make a return, i can honestly say give up on it because they will never make a return. they were pointless and every animal did the same thing over and over again, they all ate their oppoent, decapitate them, or shoved / flew them off the screen.

What use is reaching the potential of my brain to come across a noob infested forum? I'm simply sharing a fraction of my imagination to help make a better game for an MK audience, and myself.

Unlike you, I overlook at things that can make a good game become better in this case (MK8), giving another chance for that feature that could evolve into something greater than the capacity of air flowing in your skull.

I see what you're trying to say.

But know this, when MK3 was made, there was no Reptile, Scorpion, Classic Sub-Zero, Mileena, Noob Saibot, Rain, Kitana, Jade, or Ermac.
They were added in Umk3 and Trilogy.

Sheeva was already in MK3, and for some odd reason, the developers decided to give her a scorpion animality. It would look stupider if 2 characters could morph into the same animal right? I guess they decided to take the path of the comical route and gave Scorpion an egg-bomb laying penguin.

Reptile doesn't turn into a lizard, and I don't remember anyone else either. I don't know why the hell they chose a monkey for Reptile.

Again, I want to get my point across, if some animal fatalities were to be made, they shouldn't be simplistic-one color animations where they're all just doing the same thing.
