I know I know, thank fucking god that midway has added the death traps, im just hoping their not going to half ass it.. I mean wouldnt It be more relestic that they could walk into the meat grinder, or if someone does a flying kick ( like liu kangs) and they dodge it, wouldn't they end up in the meat grinder ( if attempting to do a death trap) or is it just gonna move ( character wise) i pray that their not going to half ass it, it alraedy disappointed me that it was more like a ring out.. what about you guys?

Well im glad Stage Fatalities r back in anyform whether it be ring outs or whatnot. But i do have sum issues with Death Traps, mainly that supposibly u can throw your opponent in a death trap in the first round and theyll return for the second, thats my only issue. As for halfassing them i dont think they will since there really pushing them as a big thing. So im not to worried and am looking forward to seein them.wow

By the way there r already tons of threads bout this.wow

Deathtraps are pretty much nothing more than dressed up ringouts anyway so it's safe to assume they'll function the same way as in being able to ring yourself out. The only odd part I can see is for something like the grinder. I can see being able to ring yourself out off a cliff but to accidentally pass by the red bar and magically get flung into the grinder would be funny looking.

from what i have seen so far in the in game vidz it appears that if you are next to say a clif you don't fall off unless knocked off... i forget what video but someone got knocked next to the edge and it looked like they backed up right into it and didn't go over... i hope this changes becuase if you can't "accidentally" commit suicide by slipping off of a clif during the match that's going to suck it needs to be realistic like in soul calibur if you get to careless by an edge you slip off... but like i said from what i've seen the only way to go over is to be "launched" im really hoping this changes as its the only thing about deathtraps so far im not happy with... except for the part about it just being a ring out and not finishign the whole match. but it's been said that this will be in the options menue to make it a ring out or a match end so it's not longer a problem for me....
i think MK half asses a lot of stuff. it'd be cool if the death traps weren't so repetitive. like they would work depending on what angle you were thrown into it or which character got thrown in. for example, knock somebody off the cliff stage and instead of getting inpaled on their stomach, they could get impaled through their neck, depending where they fell from. something like that anyway. damn i'm a genious.

i dont think u can just walk into one. i think u have to be booted into one. like there was a vid with bo rai cho wailing on subbie near a deathrap (the sky temple where u fall a looooooong way down) and he had him right against the railign and he wouldnt just "fall out" it wasnt until bo rai cho like booted him into the wall hard that subbie went through it, for good or ill it think thats how it works.

On the crumbling tower you can simply fall off by standing near a ledge as it's crumbling. i saw Baraka fall off this way.

I think the Death Traps are funny lol. TO watch someone fall off a really high towers great I watched the fatality trailler and I think it was Millena who got kicked off but it was funny to watch her hit the ground.

It'd be great if all those things were
implemented in the game, but it's just impossible, unless all of you were in the mood of waiting three or four years for every mk game to be released.

Oh my bad I watched it like a week ago so I forgot but thanks anyways.
Yeah , I don't like the fact that its more of a ringout I think it should only be preformed on the second round and count as a fatality ! but who cares its awesome, and i mean if you do a back flip right at the death trap and just stop right before you plunge to a brutal death ( game makes you stop) its kinda gay, but if you do a backflip to close to the edge i hope you KISS YOUR ASS GOODBYE, but I have also noticed that they are doing some kickass things like in the fatality video, sub-zeros ball blasted her not just froze, thats pretty cool.. they are doing a good job so far. but Ill just have to wait till a demo comes out or something :)
The death traps are great, it would be pretty kool though if your could do a flying kick into the trap, but it looks like you can only be launched in to them by your opponent.


If you can't fly into the death traps with a flying kick, then it won't bother me too much though, because it would make the fights last longer, it also wouldn't hold you back, when you have the opponent up against a trap.

That would be very cool. It's a pity though that for a "genious" you can't spell genius!

gotta hate the fact that you kill your opponenet in the first round and then he returns for the second round...
Yeah, I think it should be a little more then one tinny kick and boom your dead, I think it should be a roundhouse kick or uppercut * something powerfull* not just a HP or a LP ( man havn't hear those words in a while) and I don't think that they should just return in perfect conidition on the second round
Heh, *wonders why they call it midway* maybe because in all their games they on;y finish them mid way their, :-p

sorry, just had to say that
Don’t worry, I have a perfectly good excuse .I’m dumb. I know i know, it’s a horrible come back, but whatever. I’m to smart for comebacks. I’m also too smart for good grades, spelling, and me grammar. But luckily for me there are assholes like you who make sure I can improve. But thank god I don’t go around correcting people in video game forums, I may be a desperate, sad coward, but even that shit makes me feel like Jesus.


So remember boys and girls, don’t fuckles with chuckles.
