I liked it from anywhere on the screen too as long as u used the FTALITY stance... I did not like it agave u too much time.. made it kind of too easy

Using much the same engine, i'd say that would be the case, but i haven't played it so i wouldn't know for sure.
I wish they were hard again, myself.

I like the fact that now it is a race to see who presses the buttons the fastest at the end now. One person going for a fatality and the other for the Hara Kiri.

Doing it from anywhere is better then having to get in the right spot. Some of the past fatals were very annoying to get in the right spot.

In the trailers and gameplay movies you can see people using the fatality style. So I think it will be the same as in MKDA.

They need to make it so that you need to be a certain distance from your opponent. That's why MK2 was fun: having to place yourself in one of 4 distances. But with the hari kiri thing going now, it'll just be a race to see who inputs commands first, leaving the distance factor out.

Actually i hate the whole distance thing coz it made it so fustrating i guess.. But i suppose now u can do fatalities from anywhere...

I never found it frustrating.Then again I ate,slept and shat MK 24/7.

As stated earlier there was proof of FATALITY stances in the Baraka and Nightwolf fatality videos. I had a problem with being in the exact spot to do the fatality and some ppl have a problem with the extra time you get in the FATALITY stance cause they think it is too easy, but now with the race to do the fatality or our your opponent to do their Hara Kiri that extra time is going to be cutdown since everyone will be speeding to pull of their finisher or suicide!

I agree. Its not fun when they are too easy. But even though they were very easy in mkda, i liked the system.

No they can't... from what I have found out they have gone right back to the roots, where the fatalities are distance dependant.
E.g Ashrah and Baraka have to be up close to do theit fatalities although I aint too sure about Ashrah second one..
