I dropped my joint.

Fatality pack #3 will be

Kano: Eye laser
Liu Kang: ArcadeDrop
Reptile: Body Snack/Acid Puke
Ermac: Levitation slam of death

Fatality pack #4

Raiden: Electrocution with staff
Shinnok: Clap Smash
Tanya: Neck Dislocation
Quan Chi: Leg Rip

Notice how the previous fatality packs involve MK1 & MK2 based fatalities?

So the following fatality packs(If Boon isn't a cheapskate this time) will most likely be based off MK3 & MK4.

I doubt there will be more Fatality Packs, even if the promo image for FP1 sort of hints at Kano's heart rip. Even so, if there were, I don't think those projections would be fully accurate.

Kano Eye Laser - already represented via Brutality
Liu Kang Arcade Drop - eh...possible, but I would hope not. Leave the stupid kiddie joke shit in the past.
Reptile: Acid Puke is a good contender, even if it is (partially) represented by his lame fatality currently in-game.
Ermac Levitation Slam- I can definitely see that, probably the most likely

For #4:

Raiden - Staff Electrocution is already represented in his second fatality
Shinnok Clap Smash - again, represented in his first fatality
Tanya - Neck dislocate is a good possibility, they could potentially make it very nasty
Quan Chi - I'd love to see Leg Beatdown come back.


Remember, they represent a lot of characters' classic fatalities via the Brutalities or integrate them into their current Fatalities...they'd have to be more selective.

Was hoping they show Kitana kiss of death fatality. I would love to see that in updated graphics. But overall, I loved all of them especially Mileena's. Wow

Nice to finally see Mileena's vacuum fatality again.

Pity they didn't bring back Kitana's kiss of death and Johnny's torso rip instead of those boring decapitations.

I hope we get Kano's skeleton rip, Liu Kang's cartwheel uppercut (with the opponent's bones breaking loudly upon landing), Ermac's multi-telekinetic slam, and Jax's Big Foot, just to name a few.

Even if they are supposed to be "classic", I think MK has moved well beyond the sheer, utter stupidity of things like the Kano skeleton rip and (ugh) the Giant Jax. MK3 had the worst fatalities of all time - and i'm taking into account EVERY violent video game there ever was.

Because Mileena's man eater isn't stupid? I mean i love it and it's probably my favorite fatality from the 2D era ever, but Jax's gian foot or Kano's skeleton rio aren't more stupid than it is.

Mileena's man eater is a good example, but it also came about at a time when the Fatalities were still dark and gory.

The difference is - Mileena's maneater is humorous while still trying to be somewhat shocking. Giant Jax and Skelly Rip are just plain fucking stupid...not even humorous. Just straight-up, ridiculous crap that was thought up in a 5 minute meeting. They put more effort into friendships than they did into Fatalities for MK3...they went overboard with trying to make MK silly and wacky instead of violent. Honestly, given how stiff and practically non-existant the animations were for Fatalities in MK3, my guess is that they got the word from Midway that they had only 1 week in development until formal release, and they realized that they hadn't even started on fatalities yet. I can't imagine any other reason why the Fatalities in MK3 could be so utterly shitty unless they were all thrown in at the very last minute.


There WAS a rush to get MK3 out that year due to the hype surrounding the MK movie. I'm sure that contributed to it.

Other classic fatalities I'd like:


Sonya's crushing bubble (Her other MK3 fatality)

Liu Kang's dragon morph, the arcade drop, and body possession (MKD)

Jax's blades (MK3) and head smash

Quan Chi's leg beat (no decapitation this time)

Mileena's nail spit and sai stabbing

Scorpion's throat slit and torso chop

Sub-Zero's cool breath (MK3)

Tanya's kiss of death and neck breaker

Johnny's multiple head uppercut (If the boring head uppercut had to be his classic fatality, then we should have been able to uppercut more than one head off the opponent), brain rip (MK:DA) and the Oscar.

Raiden's accidental self-destruction (MKD), his MK2 ones and the SNES version of his MK1 fatality where he reduces his opponent to ashes.

does anyone know how to input kitana's klassic fatality i just tried a few times and i end up kicking the other person is there a easier way to do it ?

I hold R2 (or RT for Xbox) and press the down, up and once I release up (and once I know I didn't jump accidentally), I release R2 and then hit it again with Circle. That, or you can grind the hell out of the Shrine of The Dead and rack up some easy fatalities.

I press Up, R2, and 4 all at the same time. That seems to work for me.

should give all characters a classic fatality, would love to see Kitana Kiss of death and Tanyas Neck twist
