Uh, where did you get that from? Legit question. I thought stage brutalities were 100% fan speculation.

I don't know where people got the "stage brutality" from, but that was never confirmed or even hinted at, it's something people came up with.

On the contrary, another MK site that shall remain nameless got to see a good portion of MKX a while back, was one of the first to report on Johnny Cage in detail and saw mentions of "Stage Brutalities" in the towers.

I'm certain I've seen these mentioned in the streams and in interviews by Ed and crew. Seriously, someone confirm I'm not going crazy...

Never read that but if it is true which it could completely be. I think we won't hear about them until we, ourselves find them in the game. I personally don't think there is such thing as stage brutalities and it could be a mistake on the part of however reported it.

Because in another report on a different site, they described the first chapter on story mode completely wrong, so it could be true and it could not be true. But something I am certain of is that we were not promised any stage brutalities or anything like that from the actual NRS team.

Well, at the end of the day, consider Ed debunked stage "fatalities." However, stage "brutalities" could still be there and he was just being a clever little troll as always. Or it could always be something just exclusive to one tower, so who knows, like a tower where you have to perform a brutality on that certain stage. We'll find out on the 14'th I guess.

Oh man. I'm 99.99% sure I remember Ed discussing stage brutalities and saying they were the "natural extension of stage fatalities". Perhaps it was in one of the streams. Someone confirm.

My best guess atm.

I always imagined it'd be when you kill someone with one of the stage interactibles, same as the other brutalities.

For example, you hit your opponent with the branch on the Forrest level when their health is low and their head pops off.

There were no mentions, sorry :(.



That is very possible, I remember Ed boon de-confirming babalities in a GDC video for MK9. saying "We are going for a more serious and darker tone so they wouldn't fit" Or something along these lines, the videos are still there you could check them out. And yet Babalities still made it in, so it could be possible that we will see stage brutalities, they are not hard to make so I wouldn't be surprised.

Btw, it was 100% in one of the Kombat Kast's, I just can't remember which. They deconfirmed stage fatalities but stage brutalities were confirmed and they said they were the "natural extension". That's the limit of my memory, but I think that's all was said.

Something that has never existed or even been hinted at.

Same with "Stage Animalities"

Fans just love to work themselves up for nothing and set themselves up for a tears fest.

I presume they'd work similar to Overkills in the Sega Genesis fighting game Eternal Champions.

They weren't a button input after the match like MK.

To perform Overkills in Eternal Champions, you had to land your final blow in a certain spot in the stage, a certain way, at which point if executed correctly, the opponent would be killed by something in the stage itself (Sometimes in the background, sometimes something coming in from off screen, etc)

Like when you killed someone in the correct spot in the Salem stage, they'd fall onto the burning stake in the background. If you killed someone in the correct spot of the Caveman themed stage, a T-Rex would come from offscreen and eat them.

I imagine stage brutalities will be very similar.

Like Regular MKX Brutalities, and overkills, they'd basically just be a stage fatality, but performed by killing your opponent in the correct manner, in the correct place, rather than a button input.

"Stage Brutalities seem to be the successor to Stage Fatalities. Mentioned in both the console and mobile version challenges."

That's all it was said from "The site that gets you banned if you link it".

Be prepared to be proven WRONG. Btw, these were mentioned in the kombat kast, someone please tweet Derek!!

I'll wait...

I'm thinking this too...

They didn't deconfirm stage fatalities in a kombat kast...?

Why do people in here get banned for posting info from Tkt?

Ed did in his interview with angry joe.

Which wasn't a kombat kast...

its quite possible that Ed Boon was just being very analyitcal in stating that stage fatalities were not in the game but was no mention of stage brutalities so he didnt say anything. Id think they are in there, I mean why else would that sabretooth cat in the Marketplace be highlighted....

He says stage fatalities are "very likely, very likely." This was back in June of last year. Not sure what your point is. They have since been deconfirmed.
