Yes

No
Cause you make fatality after you win the fight
Anyway 1 button fatality is boring

Not to mention fatalities have nothing to do with gameplay and there were no harakiris.

However, technically you *are* cheating the system, but not a person you're playing against, unless of course they either take fatalities seriously, or look at fatalities from the same perspective as performing moves in game, in which case they have a serious psychological problem.

the tournaments organized by the MK australia site have a bit strange ranking system. indeed if you perform fatalities, you will gain more points. in that case, using one button fatality is definitely cheating.

thanks 4 ur comments!

Dumbest idea ever.

Having one button fatalities kinda takes the reward out of performing it to finish your opponent off. So yeah it is sort of cheating - yourself?!

Does anyone actually do fatalities any more? Seen it, done it.....

I turn them off now

I grew out of Fatalities; I used to finish people off with an uppercut...until deadly alliance that is. Anyway, to answer the question is it cheating? Yes. Does it matter...not really.

I would say yes because you are techically taking a shortcut.

It depends on what kind of person you are at my point of view.
