Brutality requirements or not?

[Espio]

Some are super stupidly easy to do. Kitana's throat slice brutality, all you have to do is hold forward with the last hit being throat slice.

While others are nigh impossible or unreasonably difficult like Goro's telestomp brutality requires the opponent to block the telestomp. I have gotten this brutality twice, once when the game first came out and once with someone who just picked up the game lol. It's just not feasible on anybody who knows anything about the character and is reliant on the opponent, not on your skill, which is stupid in my opinion.

There should be some middle ground between the above two above examples.

Some characters should get the Liu Kang treatment imo. His Hot Head brutality has no requirements anymore. It used to be 3 level interactions, and the game still says so, but an air fireball to the face will hit it 100% of the time. Then again, one of his brutalities didn't work for a month, and then the second brutality didn't work for 2 weeks, so maybe he's the exception.

Sometimes I just think they require a lot more than listed.

I only seem to be able to nutpunch brutality while we're both facing the screen (a condition originally intended for Johnny's 213 string).

I also seem to trouble getting the brutality if I end a string with Nutpunch, but that may be because of positioning.

Alter some requirements, but keep them for the reward factor. Sure, pulling off wrestler Jax's brutality is probably the hardest thing I've attempted to do outside of consistent b1xxWaspCancels with D'Vorah, but pulling it off should feel like winning the lottery. I think I've seen that brutality exactly once and I think it was CDJR before he quit lol.

Jax's brutality is so hard to pull off there should be a reward for even doing it once. Like, I don't know, every DLC skin or Shang Tsung as a playable character (but with transformations into every MK character whoever existed, and their 3 variations)

Nutpunch brutality have to be done on a "grounded" oponent, in the air it will never happen! In the ground i get it 100% of the time, normal or ex for the eyepoppin

 

[protools27]

I've never done a brutality with sub zero. I don't play cryomancer (the easy knife stab one) and idek what grandmaster's are. lol

tom brady hit trepound with a nasty shatter brutality in the corner at CEO I think.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Reptile will never get a Brutal in tourney besides the Noxious and the Deceptive ones. And even those kind of require you to fish for them

 

[SwagMountains]

I could see toning down a few of the requirements, However, i'd certainly love for all brutalities to be possible if they weren't unlocked yet, similiar to being able to perform fatalities that haven't been unlocked. It would really add some disrespectful hype oppurtunities at tournaments. Pretty tired of seeing kung lao throw over and over haha

 

[Vithar]

I'm sure the people who buy Easy Fatalities want also no requirements for Brutalities.

 

[IMakeItL00kC00L]

some requirements are stupid easy like sub zero's, so yeah i wish some were a little harder

 

[Deleted member 35141]

Some have really rediculous one like losing or almost dying and catching a 5 sec loading move(cage) but it's the ones you can't combo into even though it should annoy me most. They have to be against like unblocking and on the ground opponents, throwing out single special can lead to bad things.

 

[Kim0z]

I have added to the OP the brutalities that the community thinks have dumb requirements, if anyone knows any brutality that is really difficult to pull off just post it here and I will update the OP.

If someone manages to hit someone with cages flipkick brutality in a tournament match, I'll paypal them $100

Requirements should be removed. I want every brutality to be available for competitive play. Means more variety in competitive matches where Fatalities drag on too long.

I totally agree with this, it will really be fun to watch tournaments where anyone has access to do any brutality, besides I dont think its fair that some characters have easy to do brutalities and others haven't.

Once I get A-List down, you are DOOMED.

y'all know you can combo into it right?

You can combo into a fully charged rising kick?!

 

[Mikemetroid]

It doesn't have to be fully charged to get the brutal

 

[DDustiNN]

I like the requirements because it makes them more satisfying to pull off.

However, I don't think they're very balanced. Some are ridiculously easy (finish the match with this move), and some have absurdly complex requirements. That could probably be reworked a little.

ORLY? Well now I'm intrigued. I'll have to play with this when I get off work. Thanks, man!

 

[I GOT HANDS]

option to fatality is what you get for winning
(unless its a tournament based in US, you guys REALLY have to stop the pausing at game winning combos, like srs)

Yeah, I hate every player who does this in a tournament. They should start banning that shit.

You're probably doing them anyway, since the requirements for Subs Brutalities are incredibly easy.

Kill your opponent with the chip damage from an Ex-Iceball, after scaling from a regular Iceball, that you connected from full screen, while your opponent is on 4% life!

The rest are pretty straight forward to be fair.

I've done it multiple times, offline and offline haha. The OH dash punch and rocket launcher is way harder.

Better balance!? (pick one)
