We really need to make a new sticky FAQ about these little things.

Come on. Think a little. Why would they fade to black? Could it be due to lack of frames of animation? Could it be just because the programmers were lazy as fuck?

MK Trilogy is just another upgrade from UMK3 like UMK3 was for MK3. If they changed Ninja Sub-Zero's Spin Rip which would have been simple to do, we would loose the arcade version of it or something. All they had to do was the High Punch grab to the head, followed by an uppercut pose for the head rip with spine, and finally his win pose where he would hold the head and spine up in the air. Anyway, it does fade to black. It is a Fatality that "you use imagination with". Remember Raiden's famous words from MK3? "Imagination Is More Important Than Power" Anyway, it does fade to black, and the programmers left it that way because all it was, was a transfered file from UMK3's program from arcade to home ports.

Thank you Trynax.

And no need to be a dick about it quirk...Im just now getting back into the MK games and I hardly remember what happend in UMK3 or MK3 for that matter, I just remember being able to see the spine rip in MK1 and/or MK2.

Quirk is right to be annoyed at questions like this.

One thing you guys should all know about message boards. Repetitive questions will be asked, so deal with it any treat everyone with respect. No need to be a dick about it.

You know, it was things like SubZeros 'fatality" that I hated about UMK3 and MKT. MKT mainly. Midway also did that with Scorpions hell pack fatality in Ultimate MK 3. Where about ten scorpions come on the screen, all run towards the opponent and then the screen goes black. I guess some things are better left to the imagination. :)

Oldschool Kung-lao lost his slice fatality (my fav fatality btw) but what leads from the execution of the button secuence for this ending move is just cheaper than having an intentionally "programmed" black screen: it simply doesn't do shit, the screen darkens as usual but nothing else happens.

Here you go,

If I wanted to be a dick, I would have said "You are a moron" followed by comments on how your mother gives weak head. I just want people to think a little before they ask questions. I want people to think about how the game works, how it was programmed, and who it was programmed by.

I have noticed the site's search feature is still terrible, you put in obvious keywords and get next to no matches. I wish they would make it like a regular message board. If I wanted to search for some keywords that might come up with Sub's Fatality, I'd get nothing.
