I hope Deathstroke gets one with his sword. Nothing bloody, just brutal.

Edit* They should of used somewhat of Smokes Fatality from MKD. Where they stand there dazed, and he warps around the arena hitting them. Until he finally gives em a K.O. instead of the arm & head rip or sumn.

they're not that bad, they're fitting for a T-rated game

I am very unimpressed.

GL and Flash's brutalities are ok....

The flash's was particularly nice, however i would have liked a slightly cooler finishing blow.
Perhaps a tackle in mid air to the floor at super speed?

GL's is just an MK fatality remake

Raiden's finisher sucks.
Plain and badly.

There is no creativity, His hand goes through Deathstroke and then he doesn't even hold him properly.

The lightning looks terrible.

Seriously, How can they release this to the public!!!!!

Well... it's a start. I give the MK team credit for taking this huge step and managing a Teen rating. You guys should be glad they even kept Fatalities around... back when the T rating was announced our hopes for finishers were slim/none

Raiden's fatality is my favorite of the 3.

I'm actually shocked that there was a skeleton in the end. This is better than the usual "grab / shock / and explode" fatality Raiden has been getting since MK2. This fatality also reminds me of the downgraded MK1 snes fatality.

Flash's "Heroic Brutality" is cool. I expected him to have something like this, it's very suitable. I like it.

GL: hmm, first thing that came to mind was Ermac. While I don't know too much about this character, I guess it's suitable to his power ring. It's something a superhero would do with the likes of his special abilities.

Midway sure is pushing the teen rating (sarcasm).

I would rather have more characters from both sides( than watered down finishers.)

finshers? weak.

sleep

character roster?could be much better...

confused

here's hoping for good fighting mechanics/gameplay/dlc.

I figured out whats been bugging me about Raidens finisher.

Other then the glitches, When the final lightning bolt strikes there is no change in Raidens posture at all.
Almost as if it wasn't intentional.


One FANTASTIC CHANGE THAT WOULD MAKE ME LOVE THIS FATALITY.

Would be if at the time the final lightning strike hits the opponent, Raiden clenches his right hand is if to summon the strike.

It would fit well as the whole time his left hand is an open palm

......they weren't horrible. I didn't really see anything in "neck stretch" territory.

Green Lantern's was kinda cool. As stated before, some bones breaking, or a nice slam to the ground would make this fatality, although I'm not really sure if the T rating dictates broken bone sounds or not.

Raiden's was good as well. A nice mix of his old stuff and a fairly shocking (i swear I didn't mean to word it that way) conclusion. I honestly didn't expect to see any kind of bones or anything. Seeing this fatality just makes me think of how awesome it could've looked if it weren't hindered by the T rating. Blood, fried muscles, etc.

Flash's is......not bad, not great either. It started off well enough, but the ending just left A LOT to be desired. I understand that it would be hard to make a finishing move for someone like flash, but honestly, isn't the whole point of freefall kombat to slap your opponent into the dirt? If i'm going to be doing this during the actual fight, why do I want to finish off an opponent like that? Why didn't the fight just end after the first freefall session?

They ruined the whole fatality concept. They started destorying the fatality idea with mka and the completely fatalized fatalities. Oh well at least there is uppercut in the game. I will use it to finish of my oppontents.

Raiden's is cool except for the way the foe becomes a skeleton. Green Lantern's is okay. The Flash's looks weird.

I agree. In terms of Fatalities:

NOTHING........ABSOLUTELY NOTHING can be WORST then the horrible - disgusting - pathetic - lazy - lame - good for nothing - weak - uncreative - unoriginal - uninspiring - repetitive - boring "fatalities" of MKA.

These are all a 100% better then that crap, and like I said before, they are all better (except Flash's maybe) then most of the ones that we got in MKDA. There were many there that were very gory (Kano's), but completely bland and ugly.

I was pumped about the game until i saw these. If this is all they could ahve done with a Teen rating, maybe they should have re-evaluated the decision to do so. I'm sure it was on the DC end that caused it, but this not the way MK should have jumped into the next generation consoles. I would actually rather if this game didn't have fatalities if they are goign to be this bad.

Now i may not be around here much anymore, but i am always looking forward to these game sand am highly optimistic, but this crushed all that after watching that video. I'm just glad they put flash last because if it was first, I probably wouldn't have continued to watch the video.

hahaha.. tell me about it.

One can only hope that the MK team finally took some fan advice to heart and stopped concentrating on making it the "bloodiest" fighter out there and concentrated more on making a GOOD fighter.

my 2cents to everyone complaining about em.. at least we got finishers. i remember when the game was first announced and everyone assumed there were NONE. Then when the info was released that there were in fact finishers, everyone was like "thank god".. but now cuz they dont meet everyones expectation, lets all jump on the band wagon and bash midway again, but this time protesting they are not good enough.

i really believe the game is showing alot of promise.. game play wise, graphically.. and it just loox flat out fun to play. Who cares that Flash doesnt run around the guy at warp 9, punching the crap out of his opponent and turning him into a bloody mess.

Rayden's fatality plays homage to his classic in the original but somehow this version seems incomplete. I have a hard time seeing how one moment Rayden's choking this guy while electricity passes through his body and the next thing, like in a millisecond later it's a clean skeleton. It's a T-rating so no one should expect any body bursting-blood spatting finisher but it doesn't translate that well in terms of visualization. Besides this, I think everyone should like this finisher cause of the memories it brings back.

The Flash's finisher bears close roots to his comic background I guess. It's one of the more known ability the speedster can pull off. I thought the animation was smooth yet in terms of cinematic element, it didn't really have a strong climax. It was rather a bit quick.

Green Latern's was okay. Like everyone said, it bears a little bit too much resemblance to Kensi's or Ermac's fatality from prior games. It's very well done. Just that I was expecting something newer from the DC characters.

You're lying to yourself too. You know you would be complaining if this game didn't have Fatalities, as would everyone.

If this game had no Fatalities, you would say, "Wow, I would rather if this game actually had a horrible Fatality where the Flash runs around the guy and he lifts in the air and then punches him to the ground. They can even call it a 'Heroic Brutality' if they want."

Sorry, but i'm just stating fact.
