New Stream this Thursday - BRUTALITY!!

If people make a combo that takes all the health bar from the adversary and as the last hit makes a throw/EX move/whatever other movement that leads into a brutality, we can almost see a renewed version of UMK3 Brutality for many characters.
 
Specific conditions have to be met during the match to trigger the ability to perform a brutality. These conditions include stuff like not blocking.

The triggers vary from brutality to brutality, but these are the general rules:

-So far, they are all activated by either a throw or an enhanced/meter-burned special move
-Opponent must have low enough health to be killed by the attack in which the brutality activates (because the brutality doesn't do any damage)
-Must be the winning round of the match

Also, some brutalities are variation-specific.

Thanks very much for the response.

I see myself activated bruts on accident when I really wanted to do, say, scorpions face slice fatality.

I'm pretty confident that the maximum damage a combo is going to do might be a little more than 60% damage. I don't really see them allowing 100% damage combos being a thing. But I can see people pulling off some nasty 40 to 60% damage combos finishing with a brutality.

No 100%, but if they pick a combo at the end of the health bar...
 
I'm watching the stream for the first time right now.

Just when I thought Tyler couldn't look more like a douche with that baseball cap he just goes and shows that haircut.

He's more of a douche now. lol

Don't be so judgemental on superficial features. That's more douchebag-like than what you judge Derek to be.
 
This is a great update to Brutalities. I didn't know what they were going to do with it, but a quick combo-kill at the end of the match is great. It's not a big production like a Fatality, but you still get to humiliate your opponent.

yeah but its just not that impressive visually.

for next gen i was expecting a really intense cinematic combo that looked different to in game combos, or at least the player does the first 10 hits then executes the brutality and it goes into a intense cinematic combo with the last few blows being xray style bone breaks but faster breaks than regular xrays to keep the intense pace flowing and then the finisher.

i like the thought of this better because your visually getting to see your character breaking every bone in their opponents body before killing them. so you are litrally brutally wounding them before death thus earning the Title BRUTALITY

Maybe it's not supposed to be a remake of the old Brutalities, and they just couldn't think of a name for a new -ality. So, someone at the meeting was like, "How about Brutality?" Then everyone, forgetting that they existed, said okay.

Yes, I agree. As I said before, maybe the name BRUTALITY carry a strong meaning for us, so using it for a so brutal change (no pun intended) may cause this sensation.

Fortunattely, it's very cool, useful, interesting and adds a lot to gameplay!
 
I was blown away by the Brutalities!
Alot different then what i thought it was going to be. Its like a "Special" move used to finish them off before their health bar is at 0!

Not gonna lie Kung Lao's, Cassie Cage and Kotal Kahns were my favorite! Im sure ill like more considering there is over 100+ in the game. Thats ridiculous and i love it!

*Fingers crossed Kano Head Butts the hell out of someone bashing their head in*
 
Thanks for not giving me the finger for that, but instead saw the reason in it. ^^

Don't worry I would never give the finger to someone making much more sense than me.

----------------------------------

I'm expecting to see Quan Chi's abominable bat (Cuddles?) doing a brutality.
 
Im sure u all seen the video but im posting bc i noticed the new stage. At the 14sec mark D'Vorah vs Kano, you have a Kotal Kahn semi constructed tower. I looks awesome
 
Derek was cool today. He wasn't doing idiotic things or doing others like not keeping his mouth shut when we wanna listen.

He explained things, participated well and played very well too.

I guess it was his old hair.
