In the scenes where people fall to their deaths in the Sky Temple stage, is it just me, or is the effect when the body hits the ground reminiscent of MK4, ie. with the head hitting the screen? I just think it looks a little cheesy.

A few other fatalities look like they need some work too. For example, Mileena's head bite, Kenshi's telekinetic rip-in-half, and Sindel's scream. I know, I know, it's still early, but I really hope they put some effort into touching up these fatalities, as they just seem, for lack of a better description, a little stiff, again, reminiscent of MK4. Anyone else agree?

Yeah I agree.

When they fall off the tower and hit the ground, they break apart in a stiff way, almost like a Legos structure shattering.

They do but I love it!!! MK4 is my all-time favorite MK game (I think is the best one too)and it feels really nice to have a little of the MK4 feeling in MK:D

I would like for them to leave the head bouncing towards the screen and the blood flowing just like MK4.

I liked MK4 too, but the game had a lot of graphics problems, especially when it came to fatalities. The idea of a character's head hitting the screen is cool in principle, but I think it would need to be improved more than it appears to have been. It just seems like a step back to me.

I agree, they still look kind a early. Im sure they will be improved.
They should smash into the concrete just as MK2 only really smash into it, sinking in.. creating a pothole full of blood.

Of course when they hit, the blood shoots up, runs through the cracks like a river, and various chunks spew upward and onto the ground next to the disaster.

I'm not a big fan of body explosions and I hate the sky temple fall.. For a stretch fatality I thought Kenshi's was terrific. Mileena's needs some polish too.
