Fatalities have always been one of the most important features in Mortal Kombat, and we love them, but is it time for a NEW direction?

I’m not tired of them, I love them just the way they are, but don’t you think it would be nice to see some major change in the way they are performed at least to a few characters?

Due to the sad reason my scanner is dead, I made the following 2D Paint pics just to give you an idea of what I’m talking about.

We should see fatalities not only from the outside, but also from the inside.

INSIDE to OUTSIDE FATALITY:

I think to take the eyes out of a person can be one of the most painful things ever, and it could be perform the way you see it in the picture with better painful effects at the end such as the victim moving around in the floor, in complete agony.



1o Finish Him! (Sindel VS Victim)

2o Sindel takes her NAILS out.

3o Sudenly, the screen is black, and you can’t see anything, only some weird things you later come to realize are veins.

4o A brutal scream is heard and the shape of 2 perfect circles are formed in the center, they start to move as if they were trembling.

5o Something is pulled out (at the same time, both circles) that has the veins implanted in it. You can suddenly see the background of the arena you were fighting in once the “things” are being removed. (Screams are still there)

6o The arena is now clear and blood starts to pour out from the inside, to the outside.

7o Finally, you discover Sindel holding the 2 EYEBALLS of her victim while blood pours out of his empty wholes were his eyes are supposed to be. FATALITY.

INSIDE to OUTSIDE FATALITY



1o Winner holds knife.

2o All black.

3o Suddenly a red line is formed accompanied with the sound of a knife cut and screams.

4o The red line opens wide revealing organs such as the heart, liber, etc.

5o Everything pours out of the victim from 2 views. Inside, and outside

ZOOM IN or CLOSE UP FATALITY (Close up to opponents target).

In this case we have the neck of the victim as our target.



1o Winner takes out a knife.

2o The camera zooms in (close up) the neck, the knife is in position to slice.

3o It slices the neck and the camera zooms to show us a mutilated neck that starts to open very slowly, and the meat starts to rip from its place in a nasty painful way, etc.

MUTILATED ORGAN:

This case, a cute lovely heart.



1o Winner kicks victim into death trap.

2o A cute heart is shown, doing his normal movements.

3o The NAIL impales the heart and makes it EXPLODE and DIE violently.

4o Image of victim from the outside.

Fatalities are awesome, and I think there is more then just one simple way to do them.
