Should be a cross between old skool fatalitys and WWE games where the opponents health has to be low enough to execute a finsher move on them or they will reverse/dodge it. I think that would be kickass on an MK game, more interactivity would be sweet too. Not like KAK(cuz it sucked ballz) but like ex: Scorpion's toasty... forward, down, back, X (scorpion removes mask) tap X like maybe 5 times (Scorpion begins to charbroil his opponent in flames) Then press either A, B, or Y to finsh them off a certain way (Y= opponent explodes, B= Scorpion spear them through the torso and swing them around, then slams them into the ground, or A= scorpion keeps showering them with fire and they slowly turn into a pile of ashes)

thats just me but i think that would be a fun fatality system.

I personally don't want KAF back, but it could be improved if they really wanted it in.

I want the Fatalities to be more brutal and gorey than ever before. They should follow the same format, ('Finish Him!', darkened screen and evil music) and be as simple, yet extremely gruesome. They need to keep them semi-realistic, too. For example, no transforming into giants.

I'd love to see the heart rip and spine rip back in the game. With these new graphics, they could look fantastic. The sound effects must sound painful for the full effect to take place, though.

I never want to see that horrid create-a-fatality system return. I'd prefer to just have normal fatalities, personally.

I am a fan of KAF from the beginning, but after seeing them, and after seeing the Lazy MK team lying to us with character specific moves in fatalities, I started to dislike a bit KAF. I prefer the classic fatality system, where you just hit a button combiation, and then watch the show go. I think that midway should work on that,To make a small challenge from fatalities, after hitting the button combination there will b a small mini game between the two players ( either button mashing, etc). If the winnor of the mini game is the opponent, then the opponent will do a Hara-Kiri ( unlike MKD, you can ony perform a hara kiri , if the winning opponent wants to do a fatality on you and you win the mini-game).If you/ the winning character will win the mini game he would do his fatality.

Now with regards to fatalities, I prefer them that they are 1 minute or longer in lentgh, each character should have 3 ORIGNAL and with his specific moves applied in them, and just to make sure that MK isn't a game to be played by a 14 year old, the fatality should invole a lot of pain and torture, sadism, and why not talking! For example make the opponent laugh maniacally or make him say "I had no other choice...". This is what I hope to see in MK8 ( amongst other ideas that I had but I was too lazy to write ).

KAF. I cannot stand the normal fatality cinematics after that.

KAF sucked please God, bring back the old style!! here's one I posted for Sub-Zero, tell me what you think:

Subby walks to the victim and places both hands on their face, freezing their head solid! The victim falls to their knees and grasps at their face and throat. Sub-Zero then can either walk away and let them suffocate and fall over dead twitching and convulsing.(my pick)
Or he can deliver a vicious roundhouse kick to their head , while on their knees, that shatters their frozen skull to bloody bits!!


What do you guys think, and which do you prefer?

why can't we have both?

None, The fatalities you mentioned were none different than the MK:D ones... MK should revamp their fatalities and not leave them the same. ( I don't like the idea os sub zero freezing the hed and kicking it, i have seen to much of subb's freezing and kicking....)

I hope that some of the fatalities are short and sweet. Not all should be long drawn out torturous deaths. There should be some like your character walks up to the opponent, delivers one or two quick heavy blows, and it's over. Besides the dramatic impact, it would make fatalities less repetitive and boring after playing for a while.
I've always wanted there to be several simple fatalities available to the characters to use, in addition to their normal ones, that show a little attitude of the character and incorporate their special powers.
Like Sub-Zero quickly walking up to his opponent, freezing the head with one hand, then quickly smash it with the other. Quick and powerful.

I think they should stick to the MKDA and MKD fatality system, but instead of looking the exact same as when fighting, the fatalities should be really high quality, kind of like the pre-rendered movies in Ninja Gaiden or something. They should be really bloody and lots of details. They should be really good quality. I mean, this is, afterall, the next gen system MK...

i didn't mind the KAF but it still just isn't as fun as the old ones. and we can't really have these mini games cause then that takes away from the whole system and you no linger get to just watch the show don't get me wrong i love mini games like god of war stuff but thats making things to complicated the fatalities just have to be not to short but not to long. you cant really have 1 minute fatalities cause that is a long time they have to be revamped and look different in high def.
