Helichopper is my fav of the three, though <3
 
Sektor -compactor

Cyrax Helichopper...

I'm all set :)

Personally I think it'd be awesome if Tsung morphed into Motaro instead of Kintaro. Similar fatality, but instead Motaro kicks the opponents torso off. That's a cool way to remix the classic.

No, no, NO. Motaro needs to die forever like he (apparently) does in Story Mode. He's easily the worst character in the first 3 games. Seriously, **** him in the goddamn eyes.
 
Glad to see the final poll is getting this kind of attention. It's over in less than 24 hours, and then I'll be doing everything I can to bring this to the attention of NRS. Help from certain site admins who are in regular contact with Ed Boon would be greatly appreciated (*AHEM* :wink:)


Also, as I stated before in the initial rule post, no more requests are being taken, so please don't waste your time. Sorry!

Yeah, I always want developers to take the fan requests with a grain of salt because there's a reason not everyone is a professional in the field lol. But you still gotta pay attention to them, see what good ideas they do offer up and offer up consistently.

Exactly. There's tons of people on this forum with hundreds of ideas...sadly more than half of them are ridiculous. The others are fantastic. The purpose of this poll isn't really to get fan ideas out there so much as it is letting NRS know what classics that fans would like to see get an update. Thanks for your consistent contributions to these threads!

Someone can tweet this to Boon, the forum is open to guests.
They can also tweet the "Who do YOU want for DLC?" thread too.

The plan is to tweet this to Boon/NRS tomorrow. However I may do it today.

I think for something like which classic fatalities the fans really want it gives them a good direction since they'll be basing themselves on older available material. However they should still take things with a "grain of salt" concerning certain fatalities from the design point of view since something that was made back in the days on sprites might not work as well in this 3D environment so I can agree with you there.

Exactly. Frankly there are some fatalities on these polls that I don't think would work from a design standpoint. Case in point: Cyrax's helichopper is the favorite to win for Cyrax. I would hope beyond hope they don't reinstitute it the same way it was in mK3, since that would look extra ridiculous for Human Cyrax. But, considering the fact that Human Cyrax and Robo-Cyrax are treated as two completely different character models with different move and fatality animations, I would think they could improvise just a tad. Also, the Helichopper doesn't have to be a helicoptering head, especially since 'rax has the buzzsaw in his chest/attached to his arm.

But yes, that's why I make it clear in the intro to each poll that this is NOT a "My Fatality Ideas" thread. We'll vote on the classics, and if NRS wants to do something, leave it up to them to decide.

I'm all for adding in more classic material as long as they keep doing it as well as they have. My "grain of salt" comment was just aimed at general fan comments. I love the enthusiasm I see from MK fans, but it's still the developers who are the professionals lol.

So far though, they're doing a fantastic job, in my opinion, of creating a classic Mortal Kombat experience and giving us the ultimate fan service here.

Exactly how I felt about the heli fatality I just couldn't see it happening unless totally re-imagined but who knows. I mean you could look at Reptile's yummy also where he just pulls the head this time around and even though for some stuff it looks ridiculous (when Kung Lao is still wearing his hat) it still "looks good". They could maybe have Cyrax's head come off and do the fatality then fly back in it's place.

Oh yeah no doubt I've seen some pretty crazy suggestions that seemed to come straight out of a mugen game and I just took the more acceptable suggestions as example, hence the 2D/3D reasoning. :P MK9 was really a great surprise both in going back to it's roots and having an overall solid package. I have no doubt I'll still be enjoying this amongst my other classic fighters down the road.

Im surprised most of the people voted for shang tsungs fatality when he is one of the least played characters and IMO one of the lamest and most borings besides his boss status.

And i have to add that half of the fatalities listed in the poll wont be DLC, because they would look silly (like cyrax helicopter) and some would make no sense in this times (like smoke teledecap)

The key there being "IMO". That's your opinion...one I don't share, and one many others don't share. Shang is an iconic character in this series and favorite among many.

Clearly you haven't paid attention to these polls in the slightest, or bothered to take the time to read the rules of the polls. No one expects these fatalities to be carbon copies. No one WANTS them to be carbon copies. With the tech they have for the current MK, and the great ideas they've had, they can easily rework those classics to make them more brutal and sensible for modern times. The whole point of a poll is to choose the ones you like, not complain about the ones you dont.

Were these polls still going on, I would glady encourage you to not participate, but since they're closed, it no longer matters.




It really sucks that someone will always find a reason to complain and try to pollute the spirit of the thread with negativity...but then, that's the Mortal Kombat fan base.

I don't personally like how he plays, but I do like the character. He represents a lot of what MK bad guys should, he's scheming, egomaniacal, and manages to find power in all kinds of ways. A lot of people who enjoy a strong zoning character or just want to play as their favorite character could have a lot of fun with Tsung in this game. Giving him one or two good strong fatalities can only increase his appeal to those who already play him, to Tsung fans who have been turned off him because of the fatalities, and maybe even to some who never considered playing as him before. Hell, I may never have played as Sektor if not for his badass Scarecrow fatality lol.

Cyrax's helichopper would need a rather serious revamp (ignore the hair twirling, maybe work with the saw blade in his chest) but I don't see why they couldn't make it more grounded. I don't see why Smoke's teledecap wouldn't make sense. I don't personally care for it, but it's not like he doesn't have the ability to teleport and decapitate as a human ninja.

I paid attention but i still think the same. And about shang tsung he is respected by the mortal kombats fans because of his boss status in MK1 overall, but you are totally wrong saying that he has many fans, he's one of the least played characters of the 28, and shang tsung fanbase is very small, anyway i respect that people like shang tsung even when i think he is very boring because the only thing he does is throwing skulls and imitate... but anyway there is people that still like him, like you, im not against that, i think you missunderstood my previous comment.

What i really meant in my previous comment, was that surprised me that Shang being one of the least played chars has the most requested and voted fatality, i really dont understand why people dont request classic fatalities for more loved characters, just that.

I vote Cyrax autodestruction.
