Ok then, this is an improvement on your previous ones. However, the idea is a little bland (and overdone), but this is a better execution of some versions of it, that I've seen before.

- You did add shadows, that's great. However, Scorp's shadow does go over the edge. If it were a pool of water, or another wall, it wouldn't be so bad, but as it's sky, I doubt very much that a shadow would be cast there.
- The blood, while it looks okay, it is a bit much, lol, it's like red vines have englufed him...or something tongue.
- Lifebars are not bad. However, if you have put the timer there, you may as well go all the way and add the wins texts as well. Otherwise the timer being there has little significance.
- The size is a bit long, but that's not much of a problem.
- The huge text "MARK THE FOX", well, lol. Good that you put your name on it, but a bit large and central, lol.
- There could be some blood, drops or a "fountain" where the arrows enter and exit his body.
- As I said, idea is a little bland and overdone.
- You have a transparency on Shao Kahn sad.
- What's the thing on the floor behind Scorpion?

Good things:
+ I personally, like the background.
+ Blood work is nice (just remove a bit of it).
+ Shadows included.

Not too bad in comparison to your past works.
Keep going with them, I can see you're improving.

Ok, I have to agree this could be your best yet. Still, there are some things you should think about. One, the arrows, I really don't like the prop you used to create them. They look like arrows, but they feel too 'disney', with the sparkle trail behind them. Also, Shao Kahn is still in the position like he was tossing the arrows, seems to me he would have gotten back up by now.

The lifebars appear to be too, 'low' to the ground to me. I just don't like the setup because I think they are appearing to be a little to close to the fighters. You got the tokens, and you tried the shadows, good job there. Just be careful with what BG you use, the shadows could not be cast over the sky. Ok, as for the blood work, its a bit much here, at least on Scorpion sprite anyway. Blood spewing out of the back of Scorpion would have been more fitting than the 'trails' down his body. Doesn't look bad though, its just not totally necessary for this fatality. The 'brain' behind him is not that bad actually, but a little more blood should be present. Also, since Scorpion is still standing, I wouldn't think the brain would have the chance to make it to the arena floor already. Maybe if it were in the air closer to his head it would be better.

The BG, while fairly simple, fits quite nicely together in my opinion. The props you used fit great with that Sky, good job on that. This is okay overall, you're defiantly on the right track to great fakes.

I think the fatality is pretty unoriginal. I've seen it done before, with a few differences. The background/sky is cool but I don't think it goes with the floor.
