Awesome

Badass. Only thing I would have liked to have seen in Sonya's is an aftermath shot of the opponents broken neck rolling around on their shoulders as in Tanya's MK4 fatality. Considering how simple Sonya's is here I think it needed a little something else like that to top it off. Otherwise, still pretty cool. Looking good.

So, who has the best ass, Sonya or Catwoman? Kidding lol. This is pretty much what I expected from the three. gameplay wise I still think they'll be awesome. May they atone with maximum carnage for MK9.

the fatalities are meh!!

T rating did a serious damage in this game. Only sub-zero's is kind of good. T wins lameality!

The weakest one here was Sonya's in my opinion. It was graceful yet brutal, which describes the charactar pretty well I would think.

Catwoman's was actually pretty awesome. Very brutal.

Sub Zero wins this friday however. Very sweet fatality. I don't think anything will ever top his Deception fatalities though....T rated or not.

Here's hoping for a Shang Tsung soul steal ala MK II for next week.

Dear God, these were so lame. Subzero's is the better of the 3 I guess. It's like his old MK3 fatality.

Catwoman's isn't bad, suits her well. Sonya's sucked though, seriously. What happened to the kiss of fire breath?

Oh and the yellow eyes are back, but at least they don't look like headlights.

Arg! thats just a special move from MK4, how lame, I bet its too brutal too and be censored as well to off screen :/

Sub Zero's is very nice, especially considering there is no blood or whatever. The other two are okay. They lack the impact. Nice execution tough.

The thing that I really dislike is the music before and after the fatality is done, sounds more like the tune you should hear after a Houdini trick. I hope they fix this in the next MK if they want to be gritty and dark.

I'm going to have to go against the norm on this: I am pretty satisfied with all of these. First of all, they were much cleaner looking than the sloppy Green Lantern/Raiden finishers of last week. They also had enough of a brutal element to satisfy me while still remaining clean enough for a T rating.

i guess i'm the only one who loves the T rating.

my ONLY gripe is that sonya didn't do a kiss of death type move. i'm loving how real the finishers have been so far. nothing super stupid so far...except for flash's and they've all been pretty brutal again except for flash.

if the T rating means that everyone doesn't randomly explode than i welcome it.

Finally non-exaggerated fatalities.


This was bugging me ever since MK3. No normal, cringy executions.

I like these three, though Sonya's does look relatively...simple. Best of this round does go to Sub-Zero, however.

Round 1) DC, MK, DC
Round 2) MK, DC, MK

Looks like we'll get two more DC characters and an MK character next week.

At least Sonya's had blood... Just a little

Oh god, now you will summon Queve. *Is prepared to read a novel* Anyway, I must say these weren't that good. I hate saying it. But if I had to pick 1 decent 1, It'd be Cats.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! I’m glad my reputation precedes me.

Anyway:

T-rating must be annoying many people for the serious lack of blood here, and I must say I gravely miss it, BUT, these fatalities are so well done that blood is the last thing you are thinking about (at least this is my case, except for one to be completely honest)

Out of the three, Catwoman’s is my favorite for how brutal it looks, but I’ll go in order:

(Yeah Minion, here comes the bible! LOL!!!!)

**My awesome babe Sonya Blade: 4.5/5**

OH MY GOD!

I jumped of pure joy when I saw one of my most favorite “moves” from her come back to life after all this years! Her MK4 Neckbreak was one of the best breakers in that game, not only did it look (MK4) fantastic, but also very very graceful and brutal.

In this fatality, however, the brutal part takes a step backwards and the gracefulness of the fatality takes the lead, and it still looks fantastic. I love how she gets on top of the victim in such cool way (an dlook at those sexy hair bangs!). But, come on, WHY didn’t they show her entire body?

Like someone said, I think they should had shown her spin in the same way she executes the move in MK4, I think it would had looked much better from an air angle or from below: now THAT would had made it perfect for me.

Her voice, the neck snap, and the yelp of pain from the victim also add a greta feeling to this fatality. The neck break sound is fantastic. FINALLY she gets the neck break she disserves.

Even though it's not perfect, I can’t say I’m disappointed because not only does the fatality look awesome, but I was also dying to see her have a NEW fatality (but PLEASE let her keep the “Kiss of Death” for her second one!!!!!), not necessarily a new kiss of death, so, this is great!

But, what made it even better for me? She has one of my all-time favorite special moves/throws ever: MK4 Neck break. It simply rocks.

In one word: AMAZING! (I still can't believe we have the amazing MK4 Neckbreaker back! No denial it was one of the best of that game, I'm very pleased!)

For her second fatality, I hope she gets a new and more brutal variation of her KISS OF DEATH, and it would actually rock to see it being performed in a graceful way.

I love how we first got for MK: Scorpion, Rayden, Sonya and Sub-Zero. Fantastic first choices of the mk icons!!

**Catwoman 5/5**

Now THIS is the most brutal of the three, and I think it’s simply PERFECT.

I love the way she throws her whip at her victim and the chocking sounds. But there is simply no doubt that the best part of this fatality is the way she slides her victim in such a painful way throw the ground.

I love the cat jump on top of the victim as well, it’s awesome, and the final neck break also looks very cool. I would had gone with a much better neck break sound though, and a much more painful yelp from the victim (points at Sonya’s Fatality).

I also love how they seem to have captured the personalities of the characters in the fatalities so perfectly.

If you look at Sonya, she looks tough and intimidating as ever, and Catwoman performs her final moves in a sexy-funny kind of way. The way she jumps on top of the victim and then the way she gets off the victim is awesome. Very cat-like!

I dislike the way the whip looks though, because it seems to change fabric/tecture during the beginning and the end.

Still, this is an awesome fatality, it sounded good from the review, it looks better then I expected here.

Wicked!!!

**Sub-Zero: 4/5**

This is a great fatality...but I’m neither overjoyed with it or impressed.

I’m sure we can all agree that Sub-Zero is more then just ice shattering. But anyways, about the good of this fatality:

I love the way the victim moves when Sub-Zero holds them high above, the way the legs and arms move around gives it a cool feeling of helplessness. Awesome.

The sound of the body shattering in the floor is very very good, but, now, this is one fatality that actually makes me miss the blood a lot, despite how well it was executed, I guess I have to admit that the lack of bones, organs and blood make it feel empty and, well, not like a typical Fatality (unlike Sonya’s and Catwoman’s who can pull their Fatalities very well).

The best thing about this fatality is most definitely the helplessness of the victim and (mostly) the sound the body makes when it shatters, but I must say I’m disappointed not to see something a little bit more original or different for his character.

But hey, there is still Fatality N2, and I have high hope for all of them.

So, in order:

* Catwoman: 5/5
* Sonya Blade: 4.5/5
* Sub-Zero: 4/5

This are all excellent and much better then Green Lantern's and Rayden's, who look amazing

AWESOME FATALITIES!!!!

Sonya
I kinda expected her to have one neck breaking fatality in this game. (hoping for a kiss of death as the second fatality). This fatality was plain simple, but like Minion said, not over the top. And that's waht I liked about this one.

Catwoman
I can see why much fans don't like the fatalities, they seem very non-brutal but this one was great to say the least. I found it really brutal! One of the best finishers I've seen so far for this game!

Sub-Zero
He had a lot of "cool" fatalities in the past and this one seems very suitable for this game. Not my favorite Subby fatality, but a decent one nontheless.

Oh, and I forgot to mention those ANNOYING YELLOW EYES!!!!!!!

They are simply NOT necessary, and even more, they are NOT necessary for ANY of the Mk characters who have always killed before. It's so annoying to see those yellow eyes as if they've never had this sort of battle/finishers in the past.

YUCK!

Also, for the people who are worried, let's just hope we get to see Sonya's infamous KISS OF DEATH for her next fatality. I would love a new variation, but I would be more then pleased with any of her classic ones.

Sexy!

I think Catwoman and Sonya take the price for most surprising finishers this Friday, but Sub-Zero's was honestly too predictable. -_-

Lame.I like Subz, but it's kind of lame too.

They are pretty good I guess. Still lackluster and kind of boring. They look more like special moves than fatalities.

Queve...I'm disappointed in you!!! You go into such detail about each and every fatality yet you failed to mention the AWESOME coughing sound the victim makes when Catwoman wraps her whip around the victims neck!! That made the fatality for me. Such detail. C'mon Queve...get with the program!! LOL!! J/K of course.

I would have to say about this week's 3 fatalities are ok... for those that remember subzero actually had this fatality back in mk 3.....

I just realised that Catwoman's fatality would have been considerably more awesome if she had pulled the opponents head back and stomped their face into the ground a dozen times. Or at least stomped a few times before breaking their neck. I mean c'mon. The opportunity is right there!

Also I just realised that Sonya's doesn't physically make any sense. She grabs their head, then spins around, but the position of either her hands or the opponents head is wrong. If she spun around 180 degrees without moving her hands then the opponents head should be facing completely backwards. If the opponents head is facing forwards (which it basicially is), then once she had spun around, her arms should be crossed over if she didn't change her grip. Which she didn't. But her left hand started on Deathstroke's left cheek yet ended up on his right cheek somehow dispite his head not spinning around or anything.

...I'm just going to pretend she slid it across his face during the turn and her hands switched places.

okay. now i'm glad i wasn't the only person bothered by it.
