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 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 over

- 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?
