Well it looks like there is no contest. When you are playing someone it was thought that when the match ended the fastest finger would get the finisher whether it be fatality or hara kiri. From what I am seeing now it appears the hara kiri has the severe upper hand for one reason. They don't have to be at a certain distance to perform them. While your opponent is struggling to get in that all important distance for their fatality, you just enter the command and kill yourself. It looks like we will be seeing a lot more of people doing hara kiris to steal your thunder than actually getting the ultimate facial by doing a fatality. Really not fair if you ask me. I just hope that most of the time I get lucky and kill them in a distance to where I don't have to move and can just input the code for the fatality. Oh well, here is to hoping.
