I liked everyone's but Baraka's to be honest.

Liu Kang's is of course the much talked about arcade machine drop. It's as corny now as it was then, yet just adds a sence of nostalgia that I for some reason enjoyed.

Batman's actually wasn't that bad to be honest. We all heard the breif description of it, but it really didn't do it justice. The brutality plays more on fear then actual harm (which is a lot of what Batman is about). I like it.

Baraka's was just....eh. It would have been better on the impale if he had just held him up and let him slide down the blades ala MK II....to M rated I suppose.

LOL, yeah I was editing my post (rather than double posting) to give my thoughts on it... but you took all the words right out of my mouth. I couldn't agree more.

ehh im dissapointed. Thought the past fatalities we saw were much better. Baraka's left alot to be desired......his 2nd fatality is much better from the little bit of it we saw.

I'm really digging the minor details to it as well, such as Kano screaming in agony as he falls to a fetal position and shakes in terror. Or, just as Baraka is about to do his fatality you can see the slight bits of drool run off his face. Pretty neat attention to detail.

Batman's is just plain funny. I have a new favorite.

Baraka's...is actually a completely normal Baraka Fatality, just with less bloodspray. I hate how his are always so god damned boring and generic, even in the M-rated games. I guess it's kind of a neat touch that his mouth seems to be constantly dripping drool, though.

The first two were good and funny. But they totally ruined Baraka's.
They destroyed Baraka's personality. Baraka wouldn't react as this. He would keep the character in the air hanging from his blades and he would enjoyed every second of it. Like he did in MK2. Not throwing him behind.

EXACTLY, couldn't have said it better myself sir.

Indeed. Even the little chunks the bats were taking out of him shows the care that was taken with this one. Very nice.

Thanks Joe Von Zombie.

the worst thing about Batman's fatality is how it will look doing it to a thunder god, Shao Kahn, or Superman, or anyone who probably wouldn't piss their pants from bat attacks.

Kryptonite, magic........AND BATS!!!

Let's face facts. No matter what plot device they use to explain how Superman can be beaten or why they're merging or whatever, you're still gonna have to suspend your disbelief on this one. It will be fun watching Supes scream like a little girl though.

Hehe arcade drop made my day.

Batman's was pretty good. I like how they added scars once the bats attacked.

Baraka loses this Fatality Friday though. I hope his second one does him justice.

Dissapointed, The way the arcade lays on top of the opponent looks bad. It's still a funny fatality, but I find that a fatality can't have such flaws these days.

Batman's is kinda nice, like said above..it's more about putting the opponent in fear. But it's lacks in detail..like the way the scar's suddenly appear. I had to rewind if these scars were result of the bats or from the actual fight with batman.

Baraka's is really a shame, It begins excellent..two slice moves. And then the way he puts the blades into the opponent is great. But the fatality finishes too soon. They should've capture the moment of pain and hold it a bit longer. And too bad for the M rating, because a little..not much..but just some blood would've put the cherry on the pie.

i think the amount of blood was perfect...for the MKTeam. in the past they've shown that they can't find a good medium between a lot and a little. i mostly played MKA with the blood on meduium so it's actually about the same for me.

liu kangs' was great although i can't think of why the arcade machine couldn't totally crush the opponent. it's not like they have to show all the gore.

batmans' was the worst i think. it was just very...not good. i guess it could be about striking fear or whatever but i think the animation and motion kano goes into when the bats attack is what makes me not like it. it's cool to see the enemy on the ground in the fetal possition though.

baraka had a good one i think. even though he does more than say sonya or green lantern his doesn't look espcially painful or animalistic.

And the winner is...........::drum roll::.................BATMAN!

I really like Batmans HB! it really looks awesome lol

Liu Kang:Guess this last Fatality Friday wasn't bad at all. My only disapointment is Liu Kang since it was described a month ago what it would be. I mean it's just sad considering he has about 20 fatalities or more in MK history and they chose the shittiest one. They could have easily given him the one from MKSM where he breaks every bone in their body followed by a head snap. And for fucks sake, why there is no dragon fatality?! I've been wanting one since MK4!

Ah well, I give the fatality 4/10. It does look funny though. In a stupid MK3ish way if you know what I mean.


Batman:sick! fuckin awesome! it's not bloody but the animation, the sound of the batarang, the bats, everything looks perfect. Think this is one of my favorite finishers in a while. I also like how Kano is in pain and agony. 9/10 would have been better if there was SOME blood.


Baraka: MK2 all over again, yay. The toss at the end was kinda cheesy. Yet again no blood. Not too bad overall 8/10.

Liu Kangs was funny, Bat's and Baraka's were crap.

What still boggles me is that they decide to have Baraka in a T rated game. Any Mortal Kombat fan knows that Baraka in his past appearances is the goriest character when it comes to his fatalities. I think their was a huge error in judgement in including Baraka in the game.

Goriest my ass. In MK2 all he does is a generic decap and the impale, which is an enjoyable one, sure, but hardly what I'd call gory. And nothing changed until Deception, when EVERYONE had limb-tearing exploder finishers and Baraka's didn't stand out.

You EXPECT what he does to be gory because of the blades, but the truth is that Baraka is the living embodiment of the phrase "disappointing".

Doesn't help that he's also the least intelligent, least useful, most one-dimensional character in the series either...

i thought that was reptile.

but yeah i see what you're saying. you EXPECT baraka to be completely and totally brutal but really he seems like a pretty nice guy.

Reptile at least had to devolve to get that stupid. Baraka has ALWAYS acted like a dumb animal who can barely speak.

great find, dude

this is fatality friday 4, btw

Liu Kang's made me lol. It's silly but it still beats Wonder Woman's and the Flash's combined. Batman's was better than I thought it would be. The only good "heroic brutality" I've seen so far. Baraka's was okay..for some reason I kept thinking about Wolverine's finisher in Marvel Nemesis when I saw him do it.

obamas fatality colud have been beter lui kangs was funnier than jokers 1st fatality and batmans was cool

This time they really did it right. Liu Kang's Fatality is still funny and I just loved Batman's
It looked very brutal!
Baraka's was a nice teen version of his original which is good
Overall I'm just excited

Baraka's fatality had blood dude

Yet another set of unimpressive finishers. I really can't comprehend
why they used the arcade fatality for Liu Kang of all things. It just looks
very cheesy and corny and I thought they were finished with that kind
of stuff. Didn't like it back in the day, still don't like it now. I'd have much
rather preferred watching Liu transform into a dragon and gobbling his
opponent whole instead. Or even have him use a fireball and blow his
enemy into non gory molecules or render them into a pile of ash.

Batman's brutality was what I expected pretty much. I just knew they
were going to incorporate bats one way or another. To be honest
there is nothing brutal about this finisher at all. Would have been
different if we could actually see the bats inflicting physical damage.

Baraka's was as expected as well, not much else he can do but slice
and dice, and even still it would have been a lot better if you were seeing
physical damage being done instead of him just hacking at someone
and there is not a scratch, or ripped garment to signify what he's done.

*sigh* I don't like being negative, I have been trying to put aside my
dislike of certain things I do not care for in this game, but I can't
ignore the lack of detail that went into these finishers as far as the
lack of visibly physical damage that would have made them more
believable. It just looks like you're beating up on a mannequin.
