ok first off i have to say that this is a demo, and things are subject to change but i do agree with a lot of people that mortal kombat's fatalities are getting less original. The thing about mortal kombat is a big group of casual players remember fatalities over game play. Mortal kombat is known for killing people after beating them in 2 matches. Its what made them so known for there game years ago because it was crazy and a lot of parents did not want there kids playing games like that. Which is very understandable and why mk 9 is still getting banned. Its seems mortal kombat best fatalities were in mk 1 and 2 and the reason for that is because they were more realistic. After those two first games things started getting stupid because fatalities ended up becoming more fake then actually cool. Now a lot of people I don't think understand this and its tough to come up with words to describe it. ill try and give some examples on what i mean.
reptiles head eat. Now this was probably the coolest thing in the world back in the day and it still is. Its very popular and if they had this everyone would be happy. Yes its fake because there is no such thing as a reptile inside a human being that takes off his mask and eats heads. But its very unique and cool because it could be possible in a fake world.
Now lets look at another example of Bad fake.
lets use jax as an example. First off he is human. He had two very cool fatalities in mk 2 an arm rip which is perhaps possible and a head smash. Now when you think of it at that time maybe this guy has some powers and is very strong and can do these things. Very cool fatalities from mk 2. Ok now to the fake shit. mk3 keep in mind this guy is still human but he grows into a giant and stomps someone in mk 3 what the **** is that really. stupidest thing in the world things like that ruin a character.
Now people who have been playing these games forever don't care that they reuse fatalities from back in the day. But when things get unreal people get mad. Or if the character that's getting killed looks funny as hes dying people get mad. Another problem that seems to occur is when a new mk game comes out they seem to do the same fatalities twice a perfect example would be scorpion from mk 9. He has not one but two same fatalities he takes his sword out and kills them. Now what would have been smart is trying something new like dragging his challenger to nether realm and killing them there somehow maybe hanging them or whatever. ( now i know some characters have like 4 fatalities and we have not seem them all blah blah. ) hopefully things will be better.
As far as mk 9 goes. the most unique fatality is kung lao why because no one has seen a buzz saw fatality and its possible very unique and cool. Even his second fatality is cool very different from his first and is a combination of both mk 2 fatalities.
The bad fatalities from mk 9 are reptiles spit why because of several reasons. I see what the mk team wanted to do. they wanted to show the stomach being burnt. But look at how the character is dying when he gets his stomach pulled from him he looks stupid and the fact is if someone did spit acid on you they should have just melted and left it like that and would have been a lot better. It seems that this mk is more focused on cuts of the body so if your favorite character does not have something like that it wont look good. This is why i am hoping to be impressed by a skin rip or scorpions toasty and be proved wrong.
Another bad fatality is this sonya one we just saw why you ask. Because its fake as in you could not possibly do that to a person. she would have been better off just jumping on the character putting her legs wrapped around the persons head and snapping his neck with x factor that would have been more real than splitting someone in half on a impossible way. Why were people clapping in this video probably because these people never played mk before and never seen a fatality or its just being nice. If you went on a tour and someone did a presentation for you, you would clap because they tried there best and its respectful and they did something to try and please fans. You would just say this is shit and walk away.
i just want to say one more quick thing, i hope mk team does not run out of ideas after this mk because a lot of fatalities will be dlc, and might be tough for them to come up with new ones after this. But I am very happy with everything they have done so far the game looks great and we only say these things on the forum to help make the best mortal kombat ever. I hope that they do read these forums so they see were trying to help them. I am just worried the mk team does not want to try making unique NEW fatalities it seems they are just trying to play a safe route right now and i hope they prove me wrong. It seems there not trying really anything different. But i must say something is better than nothing and i am glad we get mortal kombat games.
