This first poll will end on Thursday, May 5th @ 3:00am Central Time.
The next poll will begin @ 5:00pm Central Time that same day.
I've noticed that many of us have been requesting to see classic fatalities updated in current MK2011 form. With Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile getting their all-time classics as DLC, we all wonder where Sonya and Kitana's kiss of death fatalities have gone, as well as Shang Tsung's Soul Steal (instead of that STUPID clown fatality).
Well, this thread is essentially a poll request thread...what classic MK1 - UMK3 fatalities would you like to see as possible future DLC?
I'm hoping there's enough interest to really get good input from this thread. Since there are only 10 available spots in a poll, this will essentially be "Part 1" of a series of Classic Fatality Request threads. Each Thread will have 10 classic fatalities listed, sometimes more than 1 belonging to the same character. I encourage you to select as many as you want, but please, try to pick only ONE per character if there are multiple options available. By doing that, we can narrow down which of the classics people really want to see.
The ultimate goal of these request threads is to eventually compile a list of desired fatalities to bring to the attention of the fine folks at NRS.
Because of the nature of the new Mortal Kombat's fatalities, I am trying to keep out the more ridiculous fatalities from the MK3 era, such as Kano's skeleton rip, Liu Kang's Arcade Drop, Kabal's Oogy Boogy Boogy Boo Face, etc.
Keep in mind, creating these fatalities isn't exactly a walk in the park for NRS and would require a great deal of time and effort to do. It is entirely possible that, while NRS may look at the final list, it simply will not be possible for them to create all of these classic fatalities within a reasonable amount of time before beginning work on the next game, or before paying for the motion capture of all these extra moves becomes prohibitvely expensive for NRS and WB. And frankly. even though they do look at feedback from fans, the likelihood of them actually acting upon a fan requested list is very slim.
Nevertheless, we may see these requested fatalities in the next game.
Winners: The goal is to have one classic fatality for EVERY character that doesn't already have an update or a variation of a classic. The "winners" will essentially be determined by their popularity in the poll. For example, if a specific fatality gets no votes, or very few votes in comparison to the rest of the options, it will be dropped. Any fatality with 10 or more votes will be considered a "winner" and be added to the list of classic fatalities. If there are multiple options for one character, the one with more votes will be a "winner" while the one with less votes will be dropped. In the end, the final list will have only one fatality per character.
Note: Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile will be omitted for now, simply because they already have classic fatalities available for download. However, should enough requests be made, I'd be happy to add them to a future poll.
The following characters have been omitted from future polls since they already have variations or updates of their best classics:
Liu Kang
Kung Lao
Jax
Johnny Cage
Baraka
Sheeva
Stryker
Scorpion
Reptile
Sub-Zero (human)
Quan Chi
Nightwolf
I know that some of the characters on the aforementioned list still have some good ones (like Reptile's acid shower). If I get enough requests, I'll add some to future polls. Simply reply to the thread with the character(s) from that list and the fatality you would like to see return.
Requests
The following list contains Fatalities that have been requested from users. Should they compete with a fatality already listed for the character, it will then go up against the Fatality that is listed in this poll in a future poll. So far:
Cyrax - Helicopter Slice - Requested by TNM03
Reptile - Acid Shower - Requested by Axe
Kabal - Oogey Boogey Boogey Oogey Boo Face - Requested by Demetrius
Mileena - Man Eater - Requested by Demtrius
Liu Kang - Arcade Drop - Requested by Demetrius, AnthonyLouis
Again, I'm trying to avoid the more ridiculous fatalities but if I get enough requests for Liu's Arcade Drop
I'll add it in the future.
The next poll will begin @ 5:00pm Central Time that same day.
