Right, i know that everyone is entitiled to their own opinion. But i know that im not the only one getting annoyed by the 20 or 30 "Theze Fatallties Rz Shitz" threads.
All you people who say this and post meaningless threads about them when there are ooh i dont know 10 others on the same page are looking through incredibly rose tinted glasses.
Now you can say "hang on a minute, the fatalities in mortal kombat 2 and all were ecellent" and i say... what?? Most of the fatalities have involved heads being shattered, ripped/cut/pulled off, or amazingly powerful uppercuts.
Or are you forgetting kitanas oh so original fan decapitation in mortal kombat 2.
So here i am saying... stop complaining, oh sure there have been the odd really cool fatalities (kanos, scorps and subbys spine rip) but theyve been reoccuring so much that im bored of them. The midway teem have never been blessed with amazing originality. I am personally loving all of the fatalities ive seen from MKD so far, Jades is fantastic and all the others ive seen rocks aswell.
so before anyone else posts a thread going "midway are a bunch of dumb shits all these new fatalities are crap, i want the old ones" how about you go back to mortal kombat 1, 2, 3 or trilogy and watch the fatalities or alternatively go to mkwarehouse.com and watch them, youll find them to be pretty anti climactic, and alot of the time boring as theres little build up and no after affect, it all happens so fast.
Alternitively if you want to see some of the best fatalities how about you dust off your n64 and play personally one of the best (if not the best) mk games... mk4.

I'm not trying to pick an arguement, but that right there just voids anything you have just said. Regardless everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I do respect yours although I do not agree with it. When I look back at the old MK games and see the fatalities, I enjoy them, they're fun to do and fun to look at. When I see the fatalities coming out lately they're boring and scream "we're trying to hard to please you all" If anything I'd say the fatalities are going downhill. Not everyone would agree with me on this, I'm not saying the majority do. I just find the new fatalities to be brutal, but rather bland and boring. Peace.

i agree too that the new fatalities r beter, but sum of the old ones r cool. MK 4 prob had best up to deadly alliance, cus part from a few, quite a lot of deadly alliances fatalities wer qwite bad. The deception fatalities look kinda cool so far, and its good to see they r bringin in humor to it aswell, like bo rai cho's fart fatality, wich i thawt was rely funy, cus its unexpected for a game like MK. wen u look bak at MK 3 for instance, there r sum good fatalities and sum crap ones, the thing was thow they lasted for bout 5 seconds each, but i spose that was made up for in 2 fatalities per caracter, a frendship and animality.
All fatalities hav been good in their own way, but it is personal opinion, and from wat u sed earlier bout telin poeple to stop sendin mesages to the mesage bord about things lie this, it is freedom of speech, and that is wat a mesage bord is all about, if u ask me, it wuld be even more anoyin just to hav people always goin wow deception is gona be so cool.
still, id say ure stil rite bout fatlities bein beter, but dont try to take the rite from others to disagree

First i'll start by saying that MK4 is one of the worst fighting games ever created.
Second, the only Fatalities I don't like are Nightwolf's. The rest of them I have no problem with.
And also, by creating this thread, you are telling off the people who are complaining, but this will just bring more complainers. So what you are doing, isn't helping anyone.

Damn straight MK4 was the downfall of mk the games graphics fighting system and new fighters where all failures that game is one ugly piece of trash and is a disgrace to the mk series. Nothing good came out of it also the game looked like cartoon and never felt like mk it was more like mk for 12 year olds long live 2-D.

dark_spectre, I agree with you 100% on just about everything you said. I think the mods need to make an official "MK Komplaints" thread to stop all the crybabies from junking up the forum. I mean you can't really expect to love EVERYTHING about the game, so why the hell complain about every little thing that you don't like, it's getting really old.
And as for the fatalities themselves, these are the most original ones I've seen in the entire MK series. They not only give sweet ass bloody results, but they have buildup, suspense, and actual reactions from your opponent, not at all like the 3-5 second MK 2 fatalities everybody's raving about. Hell, even I'll admit that I didn't like a few of the fatalities from both DA and some of the ones we've seen for Deception, but that just makes the good fatalities seem all the better when you see them. You just have to look for the good in the bad, (like how Quan's neck stretcher made my gf giggle like a schoolgirl every time she saw it), stop whining, and enjoy what's going to be the best fighting game in exhistance.
Sorry if this offends anybody, I'm not trying to pick fights.

I agree with you!!! these fatalities are like those fans make!!! Some good, some not so good... but it's true... they try to hard to please "fans" while not all fans like the same stuff...
Remember, not for all of us Brutal=Fun...
And when people talk about MK2 fatalities they mean those like Mileena's eating one, Kitana's kiss, Kung Lao's Split, Reptile's head eat and invisible kill, etc. etc... not to the Head Rip ones

holy shit, your such a fucking hyprocrite. you tired of people making topics about, "OH I HATE THE NEW FATALITIES, GRRRR!!", and here you are making a topic about, "OH I HATE THE COMPLAINERS, SCREW THEM ALL!!!!" when theres a shit load of these already.
what you have is an opinion, but i dont respect it because your talking as if your right and everyone who dislikes the fatalities are wrong. i would have respected your thoughts the first couple of times but after reading it every fucking day, i dont give a damn. if you hate those topics then ignore them or at least bitch to a mod who gives two shits. and by the way, people dont hate the new fatalities because whats happening to the victim, they hate it because its acts of random violence that takes more than three senconds to accomplish. if a fatality takes more than that you know the creators were trying to create something special, but ended up making a goddamn cinematic movie.
people enjoyed the fatalities in mk2 and so on, because they were straight to the point and did not contain material or special actions that were completely unesseccary.

I suppose your post would go under this "MK Komplaints" forum aswell huh? wink Like I stated in a different thread, if it weren't for the complaints nothing about this franchise would change. If people wouldn't have complained about the 1 fatality per character deal with MKDA do you think they would've made multiple fatalities, stage fatalities, etc. on Deception? These complaints aren't just there so they can make people like you angry, they're there because this is how someone feels on the matter, if you don't like it tough shit don't click the damn link. Save yourself the time and just ignore it.

That's good n' all but too many of them is ridiculous. I mean whats so different form the First "I hate the new Fatalitys" thread that they have to go off and make other ones. I'm just saying why can't they just keep the same topic in One or Two threads?

Oh well if that's your case, I totally agree. I see no point in making an exact duplicate of another thread when all you had to do was post in the original one. All I'm saying is as tired as these people are seeing all the complaints for Deception, that's just as tired as the other people are seeing how these people try and tell them to keep quiet.

i'll tell u exactly why fatalityfiend, here it goes: some guy posts a better thread than the fatality thread, this gets pushed down, then some other guy makes an off topic thread, the fatality thread gets pushed further down, then someone creates a total stupd one, and so and so on, till no one can see(since it's on the other side now), then someone does the fatality idea again. bu there are some morons who know that there is one, but still post fatality threads

you people dont understand what i was saying, im not saying that people shouldnt have the right to complain that they dont like the new fatalities. What im saying is people should stop filling up the forum with hundreds of threads saying "i dont like the new fatalities"
Its like if i see a fatality i dont like, ill post about it, but i wont make a brand new thread complaining about the fatalities if theres one saying EXACTLY the same thing straight underneath it.
its like only a few threads down theres a "ed boon needs some help with deception fatalities" thread, when that was first posted there were maybe 5 other threads on the first page saying exactly the same thing.

Hah?! You're not making much sense there. Seems like some people are bitching about the fatalities being to simple. And now you are crying about them being to complicated? Like I said before. In every MK half of the fatalities suck, and the other half is nice. And I think its funny that you burn a guy "because he thinks his opinion is the right one" .... Well DUH... Thats happens now and then when people form an opinion :-p

For the fatalities I feel that some are good while some may need some work. But yeah not everyone likes the same thing or likes that a specific fatality is with a specific character. Me personally, I feel that some of the fatalities should maybe be switched some to fit certain characters.
As for a thread for complaints....
I feel there should possible be a forum for rants/raves or complaints about the current mortal kombat game. Then maybe the people who may not like the threads full of complaints and disses will be happy to know they are on another forum of there own.

Just because someone has an opinion on something doesn't mean they're always right. He's saying it's wrong for people to put down other people's opinions. I have my own opinions on this game but that doesn't mean I disregard anyone else's aswell. Show them some respect. About the fatalities, maybe he likes them short some other people like them long and complicated, of course it's going to be this way, different people different opinions. Quit acting like a dipshit and actually read someone's posts and don't just pick up on any tiny detail so you can twist things around and make it seem like you've got a valid point.

if you dont understand what i mean, then i assume english is your second language.
im saying short and sweet fatalities are my cup of tea, and the stuff where it takes more than 3 seconds to kill someone is a sense of the mk team trying "way to hard" to make something good.
for example; scorpions fatality. everything who likes it fine, im not going to call anyone names for liking it. but in my opinion, that fatality is acts of random violence. whats the motive of breaking someones neck after ripping their arm and leg off? like i said before thats like going 50 to 100 and then back to 1.
50 being the arm, gruesome
100 being the leg rip, getting more violent
and then 1, a simple neck snap after all that gore.
if you still dont know what i mean, then ignore my post because your just making up an excuse just to insult me. if you really believe that i make no sense, then please, call me out on what in my confuses you.

I don't get it, is it really so important how the fatalities are... I loved evry MK games and I really did like MK: DA... with that game you see that MK was not omly about fatalities the gameplay was so good... In Mk:D there is alot more fatalities wich I think is even better, but you may like some of them or you may not like them but in end that's not most important thing, I like the fact that this one will be online cause that way you will be able to test your skills against many figthers arround the world and the think I like about fatalities is that you will be able to put even more anger on the figthers that you will have defeated by killing him, now how do you kill him (head rip off, eating is head etc...) doesn't realy mather in my opinion it doesn't... the fatalities are just what makes the game even better and by the way I feel that all fatalities from MK:D that I have seen so for are pretty cool
