itd be awsome if the hari kari moves are chacacter specific..but if they aint then itll still be cool ..cuz at least they added to the game

i want character specific: like subzero's move in mk3 he could do his ice blast straight up in the air jump into it freezing himself and come smashing to the ground shattering into a million pieces

Actually, Samurai commited Hara-Kiri with a small knife called a dirk. And to the question, yes it would be cool to see them.

I like the idea of you not giving 100% satafaction to who ever beat you and the right not to preform a fatality.

How about having shang tsung take his own soul? Nah!

i think they're a stupid idea to begin with.

I think that it'll be interesting when we're playing online, and there's those couple of guys that you can never pull a fatality on, because they are way too fast with the hari kari's. A new sense of competition. It'll start to really piss people off though, never being able to mock their opponent.

Well until I see it I think so far it sounds neat.
But I still would want to see it first.Then I could answer better on it.Long Live Johnny Cage.

I think its by far one of the stupidest ideas unless its implemented right. First of all, I wouldnt like the idea of beating the living hell out of my oponent and then watching them not spare me the opportunity to finish them off because they are too much of a sore loser to accept defeat.

Second, I think that there should be some rules to when you can pull off a hari kari. Like for example, it should be only when a opponent beats you 2 times in a row that you should be able to do it. I wouldnt like the idea of a really heated battle to be ruined at the last minute by some guy who would rather kill himself then watch me do it. Its like playing an online sports game and having the opposition pull the plug just before you win. Totally pointless.

Definatley Cool

I like the idea, but I think they should be hard to preform this way it gives the player a better chance of pulling off their fatality than it does the loser to kill themself.

I personally am looking forward to Hara-Kiri's particularily in online play. It's cool because even though you lose, you don't give the opponent the satisfaction of killing you.

JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IT?S HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI HARA-KIRI>

sorry for the caps but these guys don't learn.....

about the topic, I can't wait to see the HARA-KIRI moves, I'm really hoping for character specific moves, like kung lao would throw his hat, and with a boomerang effect, the hat would return and stabhbing kung lao in the face, or cutting his head off. Scorpion could rip his head off with his spear, ermac would do the telekinectic slam on himself, and kenshi would do a traditional HARA-KIRI move by stabbing himself in the stomach with his sword.........just some ideas

I'd like to see Mileena shove a sai up her nose. Or Baraka cut off his own head. I'd also like to see Sindel hang herself by her own hair.

All characters will have specific HK-moves, that's for sure. It would be stupid if all will have the same.

IMO the Hari Kiri's sound cool. Its something new and fresh to MK, i cant wait to see how it will work out.

HOPEFULLY each MK character will have there OWN and unique Hari Kiri. I would be dissapointed if i saw all of the characters kill themselves in a similar way with there weapons. Not only do i want them to be different, but i also dont want them to be boring.

If anyone saw the gamespot demo with the interview on ed boon..They show small clips of the game itself..and you see wut it appears to be a golden samurai in a ninja mask..maybe hotaru's alternative, I dunno anyways, it shows him snapping his own neck..so thats one form we've already seen..I believe that same clips in the ign video..which is for free..so check it out.

Don't bump old threads.

stupid

Definately cool. One of the best new additions to MK in my opinion.

Well, 1 Hara-Kiri moves you can see in one of the gamespot trailers, and that one look and is actually stupid (Kenshi break his own neck)
I actually like the idea if! the Hara-Kiri,s look cool and believable, but breaking his own neck?
I think thats stupid and unrealistic.
The classic samurai Hara-Kiri is to sting the samurai sword in the cest (By the way, in Tekken3 Yoshimitsu have such a special move)
(p.p.s by the way, Tobias Boon says he plays Tekken, maybe a inspiration? =) )

it's not kenshi...it's HOTARU

Despite what everyone says, I think there will be a love hate relatonship with the Hari-Karis depending on how they are used. If it is to steal the opponents victory, I think it will be frustrating when it's done against you!
