X-Ray format but please let it be an 11-string combo.

I'm still mildly disappointed they brought back the shittiest -ality, but I hold out hope for something cool.


I'm with you on that one. God I hated them, I still do to this day. Must be the combination of complicated button input + ridiculous extra ribs/legs/arms + rushed finish feeling that made them so unappealing to me.

I like the mini-game take you suggest.
Still hope for animality. :S

THIS! SOOOO MUCH THIS!!

I hope they don't take away the combo input of it, it really adds a lot to it.

that's what made them satisfying in the past, I will be upset if they take it away from it :(.

I bet it'll be better then the mk3 versions. I bet it will be like create a fatality with the inputs. And I'd love to see friendships but it's not likely.

X Ray possibly with exploding multiple body parts as a throwback

I'm going off the "STYLE" bit in Boon's tweet.

I assume its like Ultra Combos in KI that utilize the characters abilities, just with more camera angles

I feel like a whinging bitch, but I would have taken Friendships/Hara Kiri/Animality over Brutality every day of the week. I just can't get pumped for this one.

(sigh)

But, it's a new take on it. We don't really know what to expect. All we can assume is that it takes from the xray feature and makes it even brutal *gasp*.

I'm kinda pumped for this!

Cant believe the brutality hate in here. Even if you didnt like them back then(and i can see why) you should know that with this new tech and ideas NRS has pushed out it is going to be crazy.you should still be pumped.

When were animalities confirmed?


No, but seriously. With all we've seen so far from this game; why do people believe that brutalities will be anything like they were back in the day?

Not saying you specifically dude, but I think some fans are delusional in their nostalgia for brutalities. I mean seriously:

character gets battered a bunch of times til they explode. That's it. The same for every single character with mildly different animation. It was a "filler" -ality to make up the numbers and offer something different in ultimate mk3. If it even vaguely resembles what they did then, it will be soo lame and disappointing.

Again, hoping for the best but prepared for this to be the new kreate-a-fatality lame.

Ultra Combo with an X-ray and Classic Fatality

Yeah, it seems questionable as to how they can make Brutalities cool in 2015, but I more then trust NRS at this point, I'm sure they know what they are doing. The best guess I can throw out there is that it will be a 10-12 combo string but with character specific hits (i.e not just punches and kicks) and the final hit will be a dramatic, strategically camera angled body explosion.

I'd like to think that body parts progressively start flying as the brutality is set in motion, but that could conflict with fatalities.

Hope they're not annoyingly long like in Trilogy

Ok,I have a few thoughts.
First:I'm very excited to see one especially my main
Second:I would be down with what BadAss6669 said
Third:Maybe instead of classic Fatalities at the end,they do something unique such as(example)I could see someone like Kenshi/Anyone with a blade starting off a beatdown WITHOUT the sword then slowing down to some brutal hits that might show somebody's jaw shatter WITHOUT X-ray or possibly a nasty leg kick where the bone pops out in slow-mo.Lastly,before they fall,Kenshi could just GO OFF Shedder style and start slashing them so fast,it literally tears them to ribbons.
Fourth:Bye,have a beautiful time

What I think would be cool is the winner does one punch, then 3 see-throught versions of the character all attack the loser but it's just the shadow characters, then it ends with the oringal character doing one last punch and then blow up

Im hoping they will actually be brutal

Not a combo of flurries strung together until the opponent explodes into a bajillion piece..No Thanks

Im hoping for hard hitting, fast paced, maniacal, torturous now typr brutalities!

Kano:
Flips his knife and hits them with the butt of it until they go to a knee. The he drops the knifes, grabs their head and repeated headbutts them until the skull cracks or is bashed in.

Kung Lao- Gets in a power stance and goes IP Man on the opponents chest caving it in, then hits them in the face breaking their neck as it does a 180.

Scorpion- Repeated teleport punches them but slashes at them each time with his Kunai/Spear

Im hoping the brutalies are more based in how the character fighting style is. Dirty, Fast Paced, Power Strike, Nimble...etc

If it's not in the style of Killer Instinct then they're missing a big fucking opportunity.

And I would love an order of explosion with extra arms and legs to my meal. K thx!

And I hope to god it's not Quick Time Event format.

I just hope they didn't go something along the lines of MKA's Fatality system. That would be a waste of time.

That too...

I dunno which is the lesser or two evils, that or QTE...

I dont care what it is as long as its brutal and they are unique to each character.

Edit: nevermind somebody beat me to the horrible KAF thought lol.

It's because I can't see what in God's name a Brutality could bring to the table that couldn't just be accomplished in an X-Ray move or a Fatality.

If it' starts with a combo string of brutal blows and injuries that utilize the character's skills: That's an X-Ray.

If it ends in a creative death that utilizes the character's skills: That's a fatality.

The idea of a re-imagined brutality just sounds like it's going to string the two together, and that sounds boring to me. Animalities and Friendships at least each brought a unique gimmick to the table. Brutalities just sounds like they're going to be more over-the-top MK style gore violence, and while I have no problem with such gore-violence, I feel like it's already more than covered by (presumably) two fatalities and an X-Ray per character.

I'd have preferred something more unique

Maybe I'll be wrong and they'll be something completely different, but if they're what I assume them to be, that's lame.

i'm hoping for the best but i was very disappointed when it was revealed to be brutalities... the lamest cop out finisher of the old games... was really hoping for friendships to return, something light hearted and funny like babalities were in mk9... i would have even taken animalities over brutalities... but we'll see, maybe they will surprise me.
