It's a new timeline. Nobody knows how to do a 30 hit brutality now. Lolol. I fully expect a character might have an Easter egg one with lots of hits though.

What a fucking joke... LMAO! I was actually really nice when I said they are fatalities with X-Ray moves.

Because that would have been actually a lot better than the shit we got for Brutalities.

I don't care what anybody says, that shit sucks balls and should not be called a brutality.

I saw MK2 Fatalities that are more brutal than that shit.

It's a fun mechanic but calling it brutality just makes me Cringe.

More serious tone? LMAO! That shit made me burst laughing at how bad it was. I swear to god I laughed my ass off when they were talking on the stream acting serious about those so called brutalities.

MKA Kreate-a-fatality was 100x better than this shit. at least then you could do a 10 hit combo.

And that is saying a lot. when Kreate-a-fatality is better than your new re-imagined brutalities. that is saying A LOT!

I think you're looking at Brutalities from the wrong perspective.

I am not.

I don't expect them to be 22-hit combo and then an explosion with 3 heads/13 arms/6 legs/5 rib cages.

Even though that shit would have been 10x better.

But those are not Brutal. so it defeats the whole point of calling it a brutality, doesn't it?

It's not brutalities of old, it's actually better! It's like old school fatalities that happen seamlesly, looks awesome.

Exactly! So why are they called Brutalities?

If you don't think punching someone in the face until their head smashes is would be considered brutal, then you don't understand the definition of the word.

Didn't seem Brutal...

Some Fatalities are a lot more Brutal than what we saw.

Not what I was expecting,but I dig it.The way Subby slides off Lao's knee,omgoodness.Kotal's was insane too.I hope they give" Puggles"one where he can feast.Is Puggles a SHE?Maybe Pug does a fly by and takes a hunk out of their head/or just eats a hole righ through them.

I really love brutalities. They seem way more simple than the cinematic over the top fatalities and the camera stays in the same fucking place like the old games! So fucking cool. I'm very happy with them and I can't wait to learn how to do them.

I can easily see one of Jax's being something like his MK4 fatality where he puts his foot against his opponents chest and rips their arms off. Or Shinnok's where he summons a Skeleton hand all of a sudden and just smashes the fuck out of the opponent.

There are so many opportunities to put classic fatalities into these brutalities. I personally think this is fucking brilliant on NRS' part.

How is pushing someone into a portal were they are juiced and decapitated while you bath in their blood not brutal? How is planting a bug in someone's chest so it can grow and explode out of it not brutal? If you don't think the chest-burster from Alien is brutal, then I don't know what you were expecting.

When fatalities are more brutal than brutalities, then you know you fucked up.

I can see your point about Fatalities being more brutal than the Brutalities, but they are going to put the most cinematic and complex finishers as Fatalities. So by that logic, Brutalities should never exist because Fatalities are always going to be more brutal. The new Brutalities are much more interesting, unique, and brutal than anything MK has added since the Fatalities, in my opinion.

I agree with you A LOT actually.

They are unique and fun, I could see it working in EVO.

Also I can see it catching people off guard for an awesome reaction.

But Brutalities should have involved X-Ray and more Punches.

Just smash the opponents face in with 20 hits. rip arms and hit them with their ripped arms.

I don't want it to be like the UMK3 days but I don't also want Brutalities to be short fatalities.

Remember the MK9 Trailer, where Scorpion got on top of Subby and just smashed his face in?

That's exactly what I thought would have happen with brutalities.

but with X-Ray moves and just make them well.. More Brutal.

Isn't that the point?

Ok, I think I understand what your saying. What these new Brutalities are is not what you associate with the word brutality. However, I feel as though what you described as a Brutality could just as well be what Fatalities are now. Adding the X-ray would be cool, but look at Scorpion's or Sub-Zero's new Fatalities; they have a lot of excess just to make them more brutal. I don't see much of a difference to call it a new -ality. NRS probably should have named them something else so this association wouldn't happen. Finality? Lethality?

LMFAO! Lethality FTW!

Yeah I think we do have an understanding, It's a cool idea but certainly no brutality.

It's not just adding X-Rays to it, it's making it real brutal with punches and kicks, Skulls crashing,bones broken.

no need to dismember the enemy just show a broken body with bones popping from everywhere, like their eyes and chest and stuff like that.

Dismemberment would be nice as well for specific, the point is. just make them more Brutal with specific character combos.

Could you make around 30 different ones for each character? You could do it for your characters animations, but in the end wouldn't most of the opponents end up in a similar pulp? Like many of the complaints about decapitations and slice points.The reason I was so indifferent to Brutalities originally was that I never saw the reason to do them over a normal Fatality. I could see a brutal beatdown to a mangled mess being someone like Goro, Shao Kahn, or Jax's actual Fatality.

Also to you and the other people who don't like the new Brutalities, don't mind the people bashing you for having a different opinion. This is a place to talk about Mortal Kombat, and I think having a discussion with someone who has a different view is much more interesting than:

"Hey! This is awesome!"

"Yeah!"

"I agree!"

"Who want's a hand job?"

"I do!"

Brutality comes from brute/force, and now we get Special Moves based in brutal force.

Fatalitys comes from fatal, but also comes after "Finish him/her!". Fatalities are their finishers, nothing can't be worse.

You can be enough brute to overpass your strenght' with your special moves. But your Fatalities are special.

Brutalities seems more than Fatalities in the past, only because the insane buttons to perform, and because they appeared AFTER the introduction of Fatalities.

But like Enchanted Moves and X-Rays, Brutalities are only one next deadly level of fighting ability. But the killer essence will be ever his/her Fatalities.

If a shitty combo matters to you so much just do a long combo and end with a Brutality.

No offense bro. Not everyone is gonna sugar coat shit. If we don't like it we don't. It's our right to bandwagon and or not be happy. Just because it's mk and we love it. Don't mean everything NRS shits out is gonna be amazing. I loved Brutalities because of the multiple slugfest you had before the finale. This shit is lackluster. I got nothing against you personally but I refuse to kiss nrs ass if what I see I don't like. It's mine and others opinions and if we don't like a product or something that's affiliated gimmick wise to sell the product by all means speak up!

Oh but your ranting won't help this or change that. Stop it now! Excuse me? I been almost nothing but supportive of this franchise. I been on mko 11 years now. Very seldom have I complained. But as I'm getting older I realize how much shit that this series had that I loved that has either been re-written or written off completely. It's bullshit and yes I am speaking logically right now. I just can't believe you think these are brutalities. I would of rather had the input combo to lead to it. What I seen looked like input fatalities. These are not brutalities not by a long shot. Argue as you will but it's not as amusing as the originals.

Another thing I will say. Is this is a mk dedicated forum where we share opinions, faqs, knowledge, passion, love and hate. Stop criticizing people here because we don't kiss ass. And follow the pact. If I love something about mk ill make it known, support it if I think it demands it. If I don't ill speak my mind. Deal with it.

The roster for MKX outside Goro, Ermac and Kano suck. I didn't want to see any of the ones who died in mk9s story back. Idc if you gave them CPR eff that.

MKX could have focused elsewhere and what we got was transfer paper characters with Variations. Oh yay. Cuz I haven't seen an op kung lao enough last game. Give me a break bro.

If you hate me after this post so be it. I'm speaking up as an 11 year veteran of this site and supporting Midway thru NRS I'm so far disappointed in the roster and these fake az Brutalities.

"Brutalities" are cool and fun, though I'm officially non-officially renaming them Swaggalities. Much more fitting, I think.

There we go.

The community seems to be divided on this one(I'm just as surprised as you!). I personally like what I see. The old school camera angle is great. Having special requirements to pull them off is going to create some tense moments for sure. Can you imagine the first major tournament that ends in a brutality. Hype inducing!

Also, another epic stage. Keep em coming!

I love these new brutalities, I like how they are performed at the end of combos at the end of the match but without the pause for inputs, its new, they are pretty simple, but still fun to look at (IMO)

The first one we saw by Cassie I was like "Um that wasn't very brutal... it looked like a quick time attack similar to that attack Kratos had in MK9" shit until is said Brutality on the screen I thought that's what it was, just a little different. I did enjoy all the others I saw though.

I will say that they didn't seem like "Brutalities" to me, but that's probably because I had an idea in my head of what next gen brutalities would look like, and these were way different, which is my fault.

Idk maybe a different name should have would have been better for them? They seem so smooth and nonchalant, maybe Casualities?

Anyway, I personally like them, they are very different than the old school ones and what I imagined a next gen reimagined brutality would look like, but I still think they are pretty cool for what they are.

I honestly don't know what some were expecting, brutalities were never that creative, the laziest of the finishers, imo. This is pretty much the best that can be done with them.

These Brutalities are 50/50 for me.

Some are jaw droppingly insane, and others are "brutally" underwhelming.

My two cents.

Your post made me reflect of things.

You are right, they were never that creative but ironically enough those are not creative either.

Sure some are good but yet again some of the combos from UMK3-MKT Were pretty good as well.

I guess it's the fate of brutalities, to always be uncreative.

You know what would have been ill though? If they were similar to Killer Instinct's "Ultra Combos" unique to every characters style with the last blow/move being fatal. Imagine. One insanely long combo with bone crushing sound effects. That would have been tough.

Exactly what I expected and hoped for.

Combos that are unique to each character with Bones crushing,Brutal Punches and Head smashing.

MAKE THEM BRUTAL ALREADY!

Since the introduction of X-rays it was going to be pretty hard not to make brutalities feel and look underwhelming in comparison. Isn't this like a fancier Kreate a Fatality?

That's what I have been saying all along, it's just like Kreate a Fatality. Only Kreate a Fatality actually allowed you to do some cool stuff, even though they were all the same for all characters.

It's funny that they say "Over 100 Brutalities" people don't seem to realize the only reason there are "Over 100 Brutalities" Is because they are all just special moves that cut the opponent in half or does something like that.

Sort of like that one challenge tower mission with Kung Lao where you throw your hat with EX at the enemy and they get split in half. In fact there is something EXACTLY like that.

So "Brutalities" were back from MK9.

D'Vorah's stomach burst is a major Fatality missed opportunity though (Despite the inevitable Ridley Scott lawsuit) I fear 100+ will create many of them.
