Self-explanatory title. I think there's still some uncharted territory for fatalities.

X-Ray: Like the Streets' stage fatality in MK9. It could be taken further. Reptile, Khameleon or a new chemistry-based character, could have a fatality of this nature. Reptile/Khameleon would barf acid down the victim's throat, the chemistry-based character would force the victim to drink something, and it would result in the opponent's organs melting from the inside, which we'd see in it's all it's gory glory.

Suffocation: The opponents being choked to death, and the camera would focus on their face as they are getting the life squeezed out of them. Stages featuring water, like the waterfront, could have a fatality where the victims are drowned. Could be combined with the X-Ray variation.

Another idea for one is Bo Rai Cho passing out drunk and falling on his opponent, who eventually suffocate due to Bo's weight.


Buried alive: For the graveyard, if it made a return. Jade's deserts could involve moving sands. The graveyard one would not see the victims die. They'd get knocked out, and wake up in a coffin deep underground, and scream in horror. Alternately, any stages featuring sand could see the opponent buried neck-deep.


First-person: from the victim's POV. If the Subway stage came back, we could see the train arrive at full-speed, then the camera would cut to the victim's terrorized expression, and we'd see the train, from their POV, run them over. Either the screen would go dark when you hear the "clank" sound, or the victim would go flying far, and land besides the rails, and we'd see the train passes as the screen slowly goes dark. Or, they land on the rails, and the screen goes dark when the train runs the victim over after she/he futilely tries to get up.

Another one, again involving the graveyard, would see the victim thrown/knocked into an hole, and from their POV, we see dirt being poured on them, until the screen is almost completely covered in it.

Could work for the Pit 2, too. When knocked off the pit, we first see their terrified expression on their faces, then we'd see the rest of the fall entirely from their eyes, and the screen would go dark when they hit the pavement.


Off-screen/dark: The screen going dark isn't new, as it happened in UMK3/MKT during Classic Sub-Zero's spine rip and Scorpion's legion fatalities, but it and going offscreen could be used in a much more disturbingly effective way, imo. In this case, unlike the first-person category, the screen would go dark before they die.
