Well, the entire fake seems somewhat more custom made, moreso than most of your other submissions. I can se you sort of mixed the lifebars together, I'm not really sure I would have put in the run meters though. Also, the win tokens would look nicer placed on the alternate sie I think, since hat run meter is there. You replaced the silver dragon in the center with the darker dragon, it would have been good I think with a few things done differently. For one, that dragon should be a little larger, so it will match better with the lifebars. Also, the text is a bit bland, sicne these are your own custom lifebars, I would have preferred to see a more MKish text.
Ok, this BG as I told you in the IRC is 'bright'. The flames should match, meaning the skulls and the flames in the 'window'. Also, speaking of that, the transparency on the right skull flame needs to be fixed, the white holes shouldn't be there. I like how you tried to create volcanoes using those props, you did a decent job with that. But the remainder of the sky is a bit too dull, its just basic black and seems sort of dull. Maybe more mountains in the distance would be good, or a 'smoke' effect if you can. Now, for the flames in the 'window'. I'm not sure I understand this much, why is that prop there? And how is it that you can just seem those flames through that one place? As I said, those are a bit too bright to fit in correctly with the rest of the fake. The candles and the torches aren't both needed, I think it makes the BG look a bit crowded. They also seem to be just pasted on, they don't look attached to the floor. I don't really get what's under them, not really sure what that is supposed to be.
As for the fatality, the 'acid spear' is sort of hard to see due to the brightness of the flames in the background. But it seems Scorpion just turned into these acid pellets too quickly to me. I'd rather see some sort of melting effect, or at least a lessened amount of these 'bubbles'. The position Reptile is in is also just a bit odd I think, he doesn't look lke he is throwing any sort of a spear to me. Also, no shadows. It could use some work, but I like to see that you are trying to create your own BGs. But, some editing is required to make it all 'flow' together better. Nice attempt.
