Yeah, it does look stupid. Making an extra animation for it would've been nice, but the MK team have never bothered with that since MK II. They make animations for explosions, limb removal and decaps, then work all the fatalities around them (they're not quite that lazy, just an example). There have always been really good ones though to balance out the shit or lazy ones, so eh.
Either way though, it doesn't matter. If you don't like the fatality, just use the death trap instead. That, and it is only a game, it's very far from important.

You could have pointed that out with the arcade somewhere in there,never really got into arcades for some reason.
About the kid joke,while I forgive you for it,I still say it was unacceptable.But no problem now,as long as you dont do it again that is.

What I'm confused about is that Mortal Kombat is supposed to be rated M for mature. That means you have to be 17 or older. So why are there so many kids on here? I don't care if ur a kid, but that's like being on a playboy forum and having to stiffle through posts from 12 year olds. Kinda funny when you think about it.

And you would think you would know that the skeleton DOES fall to the ground in MK1 since your spouting off like you know it all, which obviously you don't.

And yes, king_gratz, I agree. Totally lame ass, simplistically lazy, ill concieved fatality formulas and half-assed fighting engines are all we get anymore from Boon and company. Maybe Midway will go under one day soon, and MK will be bought and brought back to life by a talented team. Here's hoping.
P.S. Luv to all my fellow MK fans, no matter who ya are.

Finnaly a REAL complaint rather then shitheads whinning about "this guy sucks why did they bring him back? Why did'nt they flollow my each and every thought process and custom make the game for fuckhead loser ME whom of wich EVERYONE else cares what I think waaaawaaaawaaaaaaaaaa" More power to you, my friend.

God,seriously,the fatalities are not as bad as you are making them up to be.You are acting like for everyone they fuck it up.Well they dont,I would like to see you come up with 50+ different fatalies,around 30+ hari kiri's,and around 10 death traps.While keeping each and everyone original and not fucking up one.That is basically what you are expecting from the MK team.Them to come up with 50+ new fatalities,and not use any of the,oh I dont know,80 maybe 100 fatalities we have already seen.Try it.Anyone against them and thinks they can do better.I challenge you,try it,prove me wrong.

I agree. This arm/legs/head falling off for fatalities and death traps bullshit is half-assing things. How hard would it be to animate melting skin or just a skeleton standing with some meat on it. How hard is it to show someone "splat" into an unrecognizable mess when they fall off the Sky Temple stage.
Nope, instead we're going to go with the default arm/legs/head falling off or breaking apart. Especially with the Sky Temple. Jeez, I saw that and I was like, "WTF??!!"

excuse me i bought a mk1 arcade machine for $2000 a year and a half ago and on mine for some reason the skeleton does not fall down... so excuse you

Check it out
MK1... the flame hits the ground at the opponents feet, the flame is there for a second, you see a skeleton standing, the skeleton then falls to it's knees AND STAYS.
MK2... The flame hits the ground at the opponents feet, the victim is on fire screaming, then explodes, and the skull and bones land on the ground on fire (but fire isn't animated on the pieces)
UMK3... The flame hits the ground at the opponents feet, the victim is one fire and the lower half crumbles and the upperhalf falls to the ground.
MK4... The fire is breathed directly onto the opponent. They run around in circles with their arms in the air and then fall to their knees, then onto their chest....STILL burning, and no skeleton.
THAT'S what happens in the old games just to clarify since there seems to be some confusion!!!!

No confusion, just a liar

I agree. I think Bo Rai Cho is just a fucking joke. I never used him DA and Iam sure as hell not gonna use him now. It's not just that both his fatalities are stupid but BRC in general SUCKS.

I agree with Rabid_Wolverine.
As for people under 17 shouldn't be here, bleh.
I've played MK since I was 5 years old, watched R-rated movies etc.
Although it doesn't make sense(the animation), IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. This won't be the first unrealistic fatality by far.

Disgracesting?
Sorry, I just thought that was funny.

I always liked MK4's Scorpion toasty. The exploding in MKII was kinda meh... but having the opponent run around yelling in agony was pure gold

uhhhh....it's a game....yeah...it's just a game... mortal kombat has never been known to be grounded in reality...i mean for fucks sake...if you want a realistic fighting system and sensible wholesome entertainment then tekken is coming out in february...wait till then

Xtreme_Root_Beer Wrote: First of all, MK has never eally used that much logic. I mean, this is a game where I guy can get metal arms, then grow to 100 feet, then step on their opponent. Or where a riot control officer can turn into a T-Rex. Or where I guy can get a metal plate over his eye, then shoot lasers out of it. Fatalities in MK have never really been that realistic since MK3. Get over it. Second of all. October 8th honestly isn't that far away.

I thought it was October 5th?

Oh, sorry, it is October 5th.

I think his fatality is aimed around 10 year old kids that will go "HUR HUR HUR HE FARTED HUR HUR HUR HAHAHAH HUR!!"

thanks to all the people who support me and agree with me...and for those who dont:
you can keep lying to yourself but it wont get you anywhere in life...and on a side note, that sky temple fatality really is pathetic...im sure if i threw boon of the empire state building, his head/arms/legs would all fall off and be perfectly in tact..MY ASS
this game is created by a bunch of n00bs..heres to midway going bankrupt one day and having the mk license go to a real company..

psyclobex Wrote: Bo rai cho gets worst every mintue he makes johhny cage look like scorpion.bo rai cho killed MK with his cheese factor and his stupid childish fatalites.Boon sure does know how to alienate the older fans of the game.Looks like this game is more geared 8-15 year olds with the fart jokes.This game should be rated EC early childhood and yes that is a actually rating.

I dunno, I still love Bo'Raicho, and I'm freakin 22! Don't be so uptight. It's OK if theres ONE fart joke, theres no more then ONE in the WHOLE game, if it was like DA I would understand.

Bo' Rai Cho is the only kharacter who is really,really stupid.MK is supposed to be a serious game. C'mon...fart and stupid things like that shouldn't be in this game. At least, Bo is relatively a good fighter when you know how to "use" him (kombos,juggles...).

Dude, I totally agree with you, 100%. The MK Team had to come up and create tons of content for this game. Mortal Kombat has never been realistic and never will be so get over it. I like all of the fatalities of Deception so far, even Kira's slice fatality and Bo Rai Cho's fart fatality. So there's some humor in a pretty serious MK game, so what! MK has always had a bit of comic relief in it, babalities, friendships, etc... so if one character lights a fart on fire to kill there opponent, so what. I like it, I think it's very histerical, unique and Mortal Kombat could use some comic relief every now and then. All I'm saying is if you dont like something about the game and your going to bitch about every aspect of it, then dont buy the damn game. The MK Team has been working there asses off the past 2 years to bring us possibly the best Mortal Kombat game yet.
Peace Out

Who else is going to practice fatalities on Bo
