Ed Boon's hint about the returning -ALITY, "never present in the arcade period of the series."

[Big D]

Hara-Kiris would be soooooo awesome!

 

[Vagrant]

Its gunna be hara kiri most likely.

Which is awesome

Can you please elaborate on why this is "Most likely?"

 

[Circus]

Is there really any doubt it is brutalities?

They were even in the unused game files in Mk9 because they didn't have time to properly add them then.

The way I see it is this...so far Boon has confirmed that the "ality" has been in another previous game, but NOT in the mk arcade era.

That leaves (if my memory serves correctly, i may be wrong):

Hara-kiri
mercy
animality
death trap finishers
create a fatality

The dark tone of MKX leads me to believe that the goofier animalities wouldnt fit.

Mercies again dont fit the dark and brutal tone of the game.

Death trap (instant kill) finishers dont work in a 2d game (they are essentially a "ring out")

And we can all agree that create a fatality was really lame in Armageddon and I doubt they want to go back down that road.

Hara kiri however fits the darker atmosphere of mkx, it adds a new element of the loser "the one being finished" still has some say in how they go out which is interesting and something that will be fun to see.

I obviously dont know for sure, only nrs does...but that's what I would put my bet on.

Just seems logical

Hara-kiri
mercy
animality
death trap finishers
create a fatality

Forgetting brutalities.

(MK Trilogy, not arcade)

I thought you could do brutaities in UMK3 arcade. My bad. Those could definitely be a possibility as well

 

[trufenix]

Animalitys are in u/Mk3 arcade as was mercy. It can only be brutality or hara kiri. Death traps aren't an ality by any measure.

 

[Vagrant]

I thought you could do brutaities in UMK3 arcade. My bad. Those could definitely be a possibility as well

I initially forgot as well. No big deal.

I'd say it's most likely between those two finishers.

 

[Plop]

i think this info screams Brutaities...which I'm gutted about cos I had my hopes set on Friendships

 

[Optimator]

Huh

I was hoping it would be Brutalities.

 

[xKhaoTik]

Its Brutality. Originally developed for MK9 but didnt make the cut due to time, so why not put it in the new game?

This is pretty obvious IMO lol

 

[wselak]

my vote is for Hara-kiri or BRUHtalites LOL. Hara-kiri cause it kinda takes the salt away from being fatal'd or teabagged. Bruhlities because thats too fucking funny. i can see right before something serious happens (screen turns dark) the winner does something cinematic, then BRUH (with that voice) and the guy just falls over.

 

[kabelfritz]

ummm... hara kiri?

 

[trufenix]

Hear @ :53 on this video of extracted sound files from Mk9:

You have really gotta dial back the absolute certainty of your guesses, you already lost your soul once over this game.

 

[Pterodactyl]

Please, Please, Please Hara Kiri! I have been waiting for that to come back for years! Good one to piss off the assholes who do fatalities online.

I don't think they'll work that way, people would complain to much to NRS.


Best case scenario you can do them if you input it correctly and the winner doesn't do a fatality before the fatality timer runs out.

 

[CCVengeance]

You have really gotta dial back the absolute certainty of your guesses, you already lost your soul once over this game.

On the contrary. He no longer has anything to lose and is not bound to the common laws that applies to us mortals.

 

[JDM]

Pretty much confirms Brutalities imo. Hara-Kiri is not coming back, I would bet on that.

 

[BoromiRofGeo]

am i here the only one who loved brutalities?

 

[ChaosTheory]

I guess it could be Brutalities, but how do they do them?

Surely they wouldn't be 43-hits of their normals and dials ending in an uppercut exploding rib cages and femurs all over the place.

So then what is a Brutality?

 

[MKF30]

I'm thinking Brutalities, Hara-Kiris. I could see Hara-Kiri's returning lol would totally fit this game's ridiculously darker tone. Brutalities I'm trying to picture them done in a not so cartoony, over the top way. Maybe depending on the characters powers they literally beat you to a pulp then rip off, or chop off your limbs in the process?

But yeah given Boon's comment not in a an arcade version...

MKT had brutalities first.

The console games has Hara-Kiri's, death traps.

One thing I also noticed from the 40 minute video when paused I believe it was Raiden or Scorpion, I saw 6 Finish him slots....perhaps we will get some returning ones and new one all together.

 

[aldazo]

I really would like Friendships to be in, geez . . If it is between hara kirirs or brutalities I think it is going to be brutalities, but from what I remember they were repetitive and boring, so unles they rebuild the concept completely I don't think it would be an interesting addition, geez. .

 

[Skellington]

I would really like to see Hara-Kiris. The concept of a Brutality would have to be revamped. As others have said, we are past the point of 6 rib cages, 7 femurs, and 4 skulls exploding

 

[Eldriken]

I think the reason we saw so many body parts from Brutalities were due to technological limitations. Now, I'm sure they could do so much more with them to where they would actually match the name.

If Brutalities do make it into the game, I want them to be a lot worse than Fatalities as far as how over-the-top they are. Blood and gore everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

 

[Jordy]

r u still wondering which one its gonna be? cmon ppl it's so obvious! --->

 

[Nulak]

Brutality was fun and give some sort of ultra ending ala Killer instinct.
