@ whatuknowaboutMK - Sure thing, and you're welcome. Feel free to make a new thread about it if you want. I've created two threads this week which is unusual for me and I get the feeling I might be flooding the board lol

But yeah, I am definitely liking the new move since the Cryomancer variation was somewhat lacking so far

Could have easily been a kenshi fatality, its not very quan chi... but then again I feel like this game is trying to redefine him

That was WACK! I expected so much from that fatality and fucked it up with some Kenshi powers like kinesis and sword and that stupid body split. The initial part is already enough or just finish it with another move. That was LAME!

Begining of this Fatality was nice, but it was finished like any other Fatality in the MK9. Which is rather diappointing.

Very underwhelming. Just like pretty much everyone else said, it started off great but ended very unoriginal.

I think it would be amazing if he made the guy force the blade down through himself. Even if after the guy walked through the blade, he would grab it and rip it up, cutting the victims head in half.

Either way, this Fatality could have ended better.

this would fit Kenshi alot better, hes the telikenesis swordsman.

I agree about this being perfect for Kenshi, but hey, if he's not in the game or DLC, somebody has to have it. Be silly to leave this cool fatality out and to save it for Kenshi when we don't even know when the hell he'll return. Could be MK11, MK12, MK13, who truly knows. So rock on Quan Chi. I just hope is second fatal is as nasty as the leg beat, one o my favorites.

How in the hell is that perfect for Kenshi? Because someone gets lifted? That's all?

I doubt Kenshi would make someone eat his sword just so he could split them open. He's not some sadistic fucker like Quan Chi. That's why it fits QC so well.

viciously and brutally slamming the oponent on the camera screams "sadistic fucker" enough to me. Just because Kenshi is not evil doesn't mean hes not supposed to be that brutal

If he was sadistic he'd have just kept slamming them over and over. Like how Quan Chi keeps beating the person to death with their own leg long after they're dead.

In that case QC's fatality here is not sadistic. he just cuts them into two and thats about it.

Making your enemy walk towards their own doom unwillingly is pretty goddamn sadistic if you ask me.

Yeah, but IMO Kenshi's MK9 and MKDA fatalities arent less sadistic.
Everyone in MK can be pretty sadistic, except Liu Kang and Shujinko.

So that makes two vertical slice fatalities, one from Ferra/Tor and one from Quan Chi. But at least the style and flare to them makes them more interesting than what we got from MK9. Though I do have to agree with Jax, these seem a bit too surgical with the ribs and organs being cut neatly down the middle. I'd like to see some variation in that.

Personally though, I'd like to have seen the fatality go in a different route, with the beginning the same, and then going limp on the blade before Quan Chi comes overs, grabs the handle, twists it upward and splitting the top portion of head in half like a melon.

I'm sorry but I don't know why people are complaining about this fatality? Are you serious this fatality is awesome, the way they use the camera angles an the lighting is brilliant, but then you have critics moaning about it, I'm baffled..

In heinsight I understand people saying it's better suited for kenshi, but who the fuck said he was in the game?..

Missed potential I guess. As I said, a vertically cut throat is not a pretty thing, especially if you are forced to do the tracheoctomy on yourself. Against your own will.



Have not they figured it out? Less is more. Implication is always better than putting it into our faces.

Yeah, agreed with Chrome that sometimes less is more. The beginning is so cool and hasn't been seen before. When I saw the rest of it, I just had a overwhelming feeling of disappointment. Not the end of the world, though. It's just one fatality out of a crap ton yet to be shown.

Still, the potential was there for something great. Would have loved to have Quan Chi just watch in amusement as his opponent kills himself against his own will. That would have been F'd up, but awesome, lol.

Yeah man I hear you, don't get me wrong the vertical split is preety basic, but if I where you guys I wouldn't sweat it, we still nearly have a full roster of more characters an I'm preety sure ed boon will save the best for last!

Here is the deal:

what they are doing is ineffective. This is why the sword slice fatality from MK9 did not work. This is not new anymore. Gore has been ran into the ground, the main selling point of MK is DEAD.

We cannot be in awe of bloodbaths as they are trite. What the LAST HOPE of MK might be is shock value of making people cringe: check the leg beat, novelty when MK was a laughingstock.


Now I do not know what they can bring up aside the very end of brutality. The face-off fatality from Scorpion, shots of internal organs. Ok, say we get that, but there is no step further. There is literally NO FURTHER STEp which they can take.

We have been desensitized. MK gore will not work anymore, and I can safely say that the clinical SAW like unease-cringe-shivers style violence will get old reeeeeaaaaaal fast.

The thing is that they overuse the body split. It was kool in MK2, but what's up with MK 2011 and now MKX ? Every fatality is a fucking body/head split. I prefer to see UMK3 type brutalities with multiple skulls rib cages and legs instead.

Dude, whatever drugs you're taking, you need prescription.

There is a difference between a torso rip and a body split. One is decapitated at the waist and the other is a vertical slice.

Besides, MK 2 had the torso rip not the body split.

Dude the bodysplit is from MK2 Kung Lao fatality. I think you never played this game so don't comment and shit alright :D

Love the creativity but kinda figured that it was going to be a halved fatality which had me meeehh

Incredible how jaded people have become towards mutilations. "Oh, he was just cut in half, blood and guts spilling everywhere... how boring!" XD
