Bitch and moan. Games not even out. You don't know the secondary fatalities. Chill out.

Love what I've seen so far, D'Vorras is best so far followed by Cassie. One of my favourite fatalities of all time comes from MK9. Sindels Scream. Love that it blows out the other side of their skull.... I'm a bad man...

All the fatalities have been great, in my opinion. My least favorite is Kotal Kahn's right now, just because we've seen so many organ rips before in the series. At least it's historically appropriate now.

Kotal Kahns "Heart Rip" is more realistic for the most part. At least he slices the chest cavity open to retrieve the heart.
As for Kano, he punched his hand into/through his foe to get the heart.

On the other hand, I do agree with what you are saying.

People dislike Cassie's fatality? This is news to me.

It's not the most brutal fatality ever, but it's brutal in another aspect. Humiliation. Instead of just popping 3 bullets in her victim and calling it done, she uses her victims blood to blow a bubble with her gum. Solely for her entertainment. That's the most "In your face" fatality since Sheeva's 2nd fatality in MK9.

It's hilarious. What's not to love?

Shouldn't have humor involved in a Fatality.

There's been humour in Fatalities since the early games.

Explain as to why they shouldn't have some humor in them?

'Cause Fatalities are about death and not humor. Friendships are for the humor.

That hasn't stopped the MK team from making humourous Fatalities in any of the other games.

Actually, fatalities are meant to be the "rubbing the victory in the face of your opponent" more so than death itself.

Yup. No humor here. Or here.


Edit: Whether or not you personally find them humorous, many are designed with that element in mind. To deny that is just being obstinate.

Personally, I've always wanted to see more eviscerating as part of the fatalities in MK. I heard Baraka was originally supposed to spill his opponent's guts for his 2nd fatality way back in MK2 but it was deemed too gory for the time. It took until 2011 before Kabal finally got to rip out some intestines, but now I want MORE! Eviscerating has got to be one of the least used fatality ideas in MK.

Also, I like how in Ferra/Torr's fatality that we can see a vast improvement on the severed opponent's innards. Even if it's not the most original fatality, I still like it because in MK9 whenever someone was split down the middle, they appeared almost solid inside with no organs.

All this talk about fatalities.

You see them 10 times, then you had your share, no need to see them every match
I am already somewhat bored for a lack of better words to see the fatalities shown from E3.

I like them fairly well till now. Only Cassie's Bubblegum gave me something of an "Oh-kayy??..."

As said before, a lot has already been done and we have been desensitized by it all. I'm just hoping for a lot of diversity in fatality's. Because they tend to let technology decide what to do with fatality's. So hopefully now it won't all be fatality's with holes in the chest, because they can.
Shang Tsung soul steal fatality like in MKII should now be possible in 3D. So they don't all need to involve dismemberment of blowing a whole in the chest (although the ones we saw now from Scorpion and Sub-zero were great). So as a few mentioned, fatality's based on magic/fantasy would be nice.

Most important this time is presentation (which they seem to go for). Not much point in making a fatality look good when you have a crappy view of it. Or if you're not "feeling" it.
So hoping for good camera angles, the right sort of screams (the screams are very important), the right kind of motion for the agony they're in, ... . Because to my opinion, they let that slip a lot.

Oh yeah, and no one-button fatality's which soms still seem to want. That would be part of the boredom, if everybody was able to execute them all the time.

"So as a few mentioned, fatality's based on magic/fantasy would be nice."

This

Dismembering someone it totally fine for me, if it fits the fighter. But there must be a mixture of magical and physical fatalities. One of my favorites fatalities of all time is Scorpions MK2 Toasty. The scream, the details.. everything fits so well.

And i was really pissed that NRS didn't make a new soulsteal fatality for Shang Tsung in MK9. Both fatalities from Shang Tsung were lame in MK9. They have the engine now use them!

But the fatalities i saw so far are really really awesome. My favorite is D'Vorahs. Then Cassies. And i really like Ferra/Torrs one too. We need a half split, even if we saw ~6 of them in MK9. It's all about variation and difference.

I personally found D'vorah's fatality to be the most interesting so far, and the one that made me cringe the most. The way the head basically desolves, followed by the jaw coming unhinged on one side. Combined with the slightly gurgled screams, and that's one hell of a fatality.

Need to see more like that (along with magic/supernatural deaths) rather than pure dismemberments.

Of course, I think a cool fatality for Raiden would be for him to simply arc a bolt of lightning at his opponent and causing him/her to explode instantly. Quick, somewhat dismissive, and brutal...fitting for a god finishing off a mortal.

I really like Cassie's Fatality. I've been so desensitized by MKs over the top, uber gory Fatalities, that I get bored of them.

Cassie's Fatality is actually a breath of fresh air. It doesn't overly rely on gore, it's simply fitting for a character with a special forces background, and the gum on the bullet wound, just drives home the humiliation of it.

Simply not every Fatality needs to be gory. Scorpion's MK1 Fatality is still one of my favorite Fatalities. And that just burns the opponent to a skeleton.

Kabal's unmasking fatality is probably my favorite.

I've been wanting it to come back for forever.

Nothing really humorous about that. Plus, humor was mostly in the old timeline. As for Johnny in MK9, that was fine for him because he's an actor.

Besides that, it's just my opinion. No one else has to care. A lot of others don't like the implement of the bubble gum in Cassies Fatality either.

I just hope that horrid clown from Shang Tsungs fatality will never EVER return.


Also Quan Chi should be back and have cool fatalities this time!

Like forceing the skeleton of the victim to burst from the body and control it around like a puppet, then even torture the skeleton by forceing the skeleton to remove his skull.

I don't mind the re-imagining of fatalities if they look better. I do hate it when it's off. Like in MK9, reptiles eating the head after his tongue stretch was missing the sound effects that made the orignal awesome. I like a nod to the past and Mk9 was so full of them and most were a step up. MK10's graphics can only make the old fatalities look better.

But yeah, bring in original stuff. Here's a suggestion :

Winner cuts foot off with sword.
Opponent reacts with dialogue : Ha! you can't even kill me when I'm stunned.
Winner proceeds to put foot in his mouth. Chops off head (sorry, another decap), but uses head + foot to kick him in the ass as he/falls down (like a murder ball throw).

I'd love to see D'vorrah have a fatality where she jabs the opponent and they start breaking out in huge boils and lesions that break open and pus and blood gushes out

The fatalities so far are gruesome as hell. But speaking on the humor aspect, I'd like them to bring back the bloodless but funny fatalities as well. (Like Smoke blowing up the world, or Kabal scaring the soul out of you).
