Unpopular Opinion About Fatalities

Geras 1st fatality is a mistake and NRS should admit it. Guy can manipulate time and sand ffs!! Actually his fatal blow should have been his 1st fatality instead. 2nd is OK though, even if it doesn't use his CORE powers.
I remember someone on 4chan suggested some moves for Geras where he manipulates aging. A fatality where he rapidly ages the opponent until they're brittle and weak would be awesome. Then he could snap them in half and instead of a bunch of blood it could just be a cloud of dust or something.

Fatalities like Kanos Headbutt and Cassies Nutkick are cool. They're to the point and fit into their actual moveset. Johnny's is cute. Once.

Hmmmm.....*thinks*.....interesting points you made. Honestly, I found myself LOVING doing Brutalities more. For some reason, it just feels much more rewarding knowing you won doing a special requirement to humiliate your opponent.
I agree, especially if people aren't aware of them it's great.

Shit that's right, forgot about MKX's version... it was even faster. He just poked them in the instead of headbutting them.

Didn't even take the time to rupture anything.
Sub's is definitely the fastest in MKX, but he does rupture something, only he immediately freezes it and just stabs them with their own blood needle.

No one will be doing Fatalities after a month, so it's a non-factor. The only time you'll be doing them is to show them to your friends who may not have seen them yet.

The thing we need to worry about is Fatal Blows because they're designed to basically be used in every single match. Also, I don't care what ANYONE says - they absolutely should not come back in 6 seconds. You use it, it's gone whether it hits or not.

I got sick of seeing the Fatal Blows during the beta and that was only 3 days of play. Imagine that shit two years from now after seeing it THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of times.

But other games have a similar mechanic like Soul Calibur 6 called LETHAL HITS which operates the exact same way EXCEPT you can do it as many times as the opportunity is there to perform it. I feel what you're saying though, but I dont think it will hinder the game in anyway especially since you can only do that certain requirement once.
 
Are people really that impatient? Its literally just a few seconds of your life. Both fatalities and brutalities are awesome and having that extra time to get a drink or whatever is actually a good thing. If you dont want people doing fatalities then get getter

Yeah, that's true, I was tired of seeing them but that will happen with everything once our brain gets used to seeing something we get bored of it. Even if X-rays in MK9 were short, after a while they were annoying too.

I just feel like extending that time to do a fatality is annoying, but like you said most people just D4 if they're doing sets and after a while, we won't see them that much.


BOOM!
That's right!
Every time someone posts something about Cassie, my heart swells and feels full.

They're way too long and they have too many parts (no pun intended). During the stress test when Baraka players did his fatalities, I legit had time to get something to drink and sit back down and it still wasn't done.

I can't pinpoint exactly when it started, but I noticed it's been more prevalent since MKX. Personally, I feel like it takes away that shock factor and some of them - not all of them - are just being gory to be gory. I prefer fatalities that are quick and shocking and/or a bit silly, like the ones we saw for Cassie.

That's why I absolutely love Brutalities in this game, I feel like they did a fantastic job and most of them have that nostalgic factor. Especially ones like Scarlet's blood ball brutality where the opponent inflates and then explodes.

What do you guys prefer? Long and drawn out? Or quick and dirty?

I feel like this should be in the FG dating thread.
I agree with this sentiment. The fatalities get to the point of killing a person 3 times over. If the person is already cut it half must we then cut off arms, then head and eat it? I prefer the more creative true fatalities ala Kung Lao hat saw that he uses to cut the guy in half like a table saw.

Beyond that I liked it back in the day when fatalities were a little more difficult to do. Now it seems like the person has a full minute to enter the commands for the fatality. In the old school MKs there was about 10 seconds to enter the command. If I play someone who does a fatality after every single match I'm backing out. I'm not watching that shit after every single match.

Agree with this, it seems like a lot of the fatalities have 3 parts,
-Initial Damage
-Death dealing blow
-Disrespecting opponent.
I feel like the first step can be removed for most of the fatalities. For instance I don't understand why Baraka cuts their arms off on his second fatality, he should just cross his blades on their neck, from the start and do the rest.

I got ADD, and I'm a lot more patient than most people.
Also, I like Fatalities. I don't mind seeing them being done on me when I lose.
And thats RIghteous! Fatalities will ALWAYS be a staple of what makes this game Mortal Kombat. But i do like the idea of having a shorter animation. That will give more creativity to shock value of killing your opponent. Maybe that can be implemented in future DLC characters. @16 Bit Your thoughts?

Well, I already think the MK11 Fatalities seem shorter than they were in MKX. I haven't timed them though, so I don't actually know.

And I thought that I'm the only one annoyed by fatalities... in the entire world! :D

For me, Fatalities are a waste of time, online.
A good alternative can be that you can choose to do them at the end of a ranked set and not every damned fight.

Another alternative is... to win the match, but... hey.... :D
 
If I’m playing with someone and they keep doing fatalities I’ll move on to the next person. I’m not upset or offended, it’s just a waste of time and I’ll gladly play with someone else who does brutalities or something

Does ripping intestines out and freezing them count as rupturing tho?
I'd hate to sound pretentious but according the definition of rupture, ripping them out technically does. Freezing them tho, probably not. And at the risk of sounding like a Jackass, getting down to semantics of it, every X-ray or fatal blows is technically rupturing.

It's beside the point anyway, point is... it was fast as fuck compared to fatal blows. That, I think we can agree on. :)

i prefer teabagging over fatalities. It makes fun and people get mad :).

Fatalities are nice when you do them 1-2 times. Afterwards for competitive play they're just consuming time.
