That would actually be an even more retarded idea than the death traps.

i would definatly hate that....

It would work if you gave the kill move a very slow start up, like the super moves in Tekken and Soul Calibur, so the opponent has plenty of time to get out of the way.

If you get hit by one of those super slow moves, you deserve to loose the match, or round.

or just have them as fancy match enders on the opponent’s last round, like the fatalities in Killer Instinct.

If you have them as match enders, the moves can be fast like a normal attack.

But you need to be able to get out of it some how.

Block it
Side step
Jump
Throw escape
Or do some special command to counter it

I think that after enough damage taken a once, a character should remain stunned. Then you could finish him for good.

I HATE that I have to wait rounds to actually kill someone whereas it could be done by siply slicing or attacking. Thats why BIO Freaks was superior to MK.

If they did do something along the lines of One Hit Kills, it should be more along the line of the Kill Destruction moves in Guilty Gear X. It would need several steps to do. For example, if they added a power meter, you'd have to charge that up first, then activate it, maye like Super moves in the Marvel VS Capcom games, and THEN do the Instant Kill. But that would need to be controlled, perhaps with a low area effect, or a low success rate so it can't be used as a buffer in a fight and become much more rewarding when it actually connects.

But normal Instant Kills aren't anything new. Kengo did it when you dualed your opponent and struck them in a certain spot, such as the jugular vien. Back when Square Enix was Square Soft, they did the same thing with Bushido Blade. Actually, I think Square was the first to do that back on the PS1.
