Consoles Creatures Interview

I hate animalities, friendships and babalities. It just dumbs down the game. Brutalities were OK, but they aren't necessary either.

Fatalities are sufficient enough.

^Agreed. I never really saw a purpose to have Babalities. Is it just to mock a bad player? Like, "Ha-ha! I might as well fight a baby, so I'll just turn you into one since you suck so bad. I didn't even press block, you noob baby." (?) Friendships and Brutalities are all that are needed or I need. Animalities are just cheap and a bit lame. Although I'm a sucker for Cyrax's animality (Great White Shark), so that would be cool to see.

This also makes me think that "Mercy" should be making a return. In one way or another. You beat the shit out of someone, show them mercy! Or don't.

That's EXACTLY their point. It's adding insult to injury knowing that now only did you win, you didn't even need to block. It's the grandfather of teabagging. Of just about anything unannounced, the return of Friendships and Babalities is what I'm hoping for most.

And brutalities are horrid. They were easily the most exaggerated (and thereby corny) finishers in the series history and I don't think anyone will miss them.

If they do Animalities, just have a few that you can pull of as Fatalities like Liu Kang's dragon. No need for a completely separate category.
 
Shaun had to think of Friendships in interview so I don't think it is in MK9. Also, MK9 is more darker/serious so my guess is Brutalities/Animalities. Do not want to see tongues, brains and insides. Do like the new X ray addition though.
 
It's Babalities, confirmed by Boon in a recent Game Informer interview. Too bad, they're my least favorite. Oh well.

Wow, then its highly possible Babalities will be in, no doubt about it. And I remember a mention from EB on his twitter about Babalities. Friendships, I'm definitely hoping for a return too. But it doesn't necessarily have to be friendships, just something completely random. We'll see what happens.

The x-ray attacks will definitely take the mantle of Brutalities. IF they took the MK vs. DC route, then that could maybe work, you know, where you don't actually KILL somebody, only brutally "injure" them. But then again, the x-ray attacks... not to mention the much demanded M-rated presentation, it could upset someones cat. And it's not like Killer Instinct is ever coming back, so I don't really care for 93 hit combos+uppercut-explosions, etc, nowadays.

Tell you what I do want, on one exception. Hara-kiris. Imagine it, Cyrax and his Predator-esque suicide fatality? :hail:

Animalities, I agree, Liu Kang has to do his old-school dragon morph, no questions! As for the other characters... Scorpion is a maybe, even though I'm not too fond of the concept. Thats all I can think of.. S4RIouSthLY D00Dz Li3K W3 T0T4LLyZ N33dzth 5trYk3rs T-R3X 4N1M4L1TY!!11
 
Babalities are a-ok with with me. Though I'd really have preferred Friendships. In this new darker, grittier tone it seems almost more comical.
