Just reading the '1 Button Fatalities thread' and it reminded me that I hardly ever (almost never) do the proper Fatalities anymore when playing the classics online...

And since there are so many other cool ways to finish people off without killin em, especialy in UMK3/MKT, I was wondering what are your faves?

Some of mine are:

UMK3:

- New way (for me) I'd never have thought about, that was featured in the last Dark Templarz vid. It's the one when u win the 3rd round and you pull off a special move that's delayed a little; like Reptile's slow forceball or especialy Cyrax's bombs, and then you perform a MERCY just before the special move hits. It's so much fun, especialy when u get the reaction off ppl on Mame who have never seen it before tongue Throwing two bombs, a near and far w/ Cyrax' and pulling the MERCY is my fave way so far...
I've been trying to throw a far bomb and net, and catch them in a net when the bomb explodes while performing the MERCY - I dunno if it's possible, you'd have to be super quick and no luck so far...

- Sub Zero: run up and throw your opponent near the end of the fatality time and Ice Shower them quickly. Leaves em frozen lyin on the floor and always makes me smile...

- Cyber Smoke: This one is an actual fatality, but different so I'll count it. Win the match Invisible in the 3rd round and perform a MERCY, spear then RH and quickly do his Animality while still invisible. Just looks cool seeing them fly off the screen after bring hit by invisible Smoke while you hear all of the Animality sounds.

- RH'ing / Uppercutting / special moving (like Jax's cyber dash punch thingy or Reptile's Elbow Dash) off the screen at the end of Fatality time. Everyone's seen it, but it's funny and you still gotta get the timing down...

- Standing just out of reach so it wont hit and HK'ing/ RH'ing the air in front of the opponent's face right when they fall at the end of fatality time. I don't do this one too often, but occasionaly just cus it looks like the wind knocked em overtongue

- Kabal: Waiting until the end of Fatality time and jumping back (from full screen) and pulling an air fireball and ground saw combo. Looks sick and can get some crazy combo damage read outs, I saw it at like 2 hits - 64% once:-o

- Cyrax: Simple one where you throw a near and far bomb and watch em bounce across the screen while Cyrax is in his victory pose...

MK4:

Any where your character's weapon knocks the opponent into the screen, like Raiden's hammer...

MK1:

Liu Kang - Doing the cartwheel from full screen so it doesn't connect, then doing any number of things from throwing lots of fireballs, or a flying kick or even a triple cartwheel uppercut :P

---

So those are my fave ways to finish off opponents w/out acutaly doing a fatality, what are yours?

I have to give credit to MK2Kung for these

Kicking your opponent offscreen after a match. I just love it because its like "get out of my spotlight" type deal.

Mercy Interruptions. I am new to those too but they are fun and can produce some wild stuff.

And probably the most humiliating thing for someone to do is get a double flawless......FRIENDSHIP! :) Yeah its a finisher, but so what. I saw someone on the board had that happen to them a few days ago. :)

krsx, wheres your classic MK video?

Yea i do that too lol a running straight kick one looks vicious off screen or a roundhouse i usually end the match with the roundhouse the most.But if i get a huge infinite combo ill end it with a fatality but i rarely do fatalities.

lol same here... I basically picked up on all the "chase the opponent off the screen" stuff from watching MK2Kung's many many wins against me. Now I try to do that stuff to people whenever I win. I'm not sure why, but knocking them off the screen just cracks me up every time I see it. FINISH HIM!!!! Wait for it... wait for it.... roundhouse, BLAM, get the hell off my screen punk!!!!!1 And you can have fun with projectiles, that's another one I learned. Same as the roundhouse thing really, just time it so that the projectile hits them as late as possible... screen stays in place and the guy sort of flails his arms and stumbles backward off the screen. It looks especially weird if you do something like Kung Lao's hat and catch them right before they hit the ground. I think my favorite one of all though is Reptile's Elbow dash... it just has a real "WTF?" quality to it when you see it. I've never gotten it to work but MK2Kung has done it to me quite a bit.

Another fun one is to do a fatality, but at the very last possible moment. So it announces the winner, THEN the fatality comes out and the timing is all messed up, and then the continue screen just comes up and cuts everything off before the fatality even finishes. I've done it a few times, but never intentionally.

In Mortal Kombat 4, if I play as Noob Saibot and it says 'Finish Him!', I pull out the sickle and stab the guy with it.

all, if u kill him with an uppercut, u can get 3 more off before they hit the ground. u will hav no recovery time, so uppercut, walk up uppercut, walk up uppercut. but ur last hit to kill him must be an uppercut, or some type of launcher.

One of the old arcade workers had a eye twitch problem. he was always twitching his eyes. It was scary. Anywho, he had the most generic catch phrase I've ever heard if he beat someone. "Let 'em rot". He wouldn't do anything. He'd just say that and wait for them to drop.
