Wow, that is cool.
But...lol, just a few things:

- The blood, I find it hard to believe that there would only be blood on that part of the hands, I would've thought it would be more central, or even all over the hands (though that may look overdone).
- The "Shinnok Wins" text and the fatality text aren't in the centre of the screen, little thing I guess, but it's just keeping things neat and tight .
- NO lifebars . Though, they may have made the pic a little busy, infact, I would say it's best without them, so I have just typed all that for nothing .
- The background is the Living Forest right? I could just make that out as it is extremely dark. Perhaps a little lighter, or not at all, considering the background does not dim in MK4/Gold.
- I suppose the hands are ok, lol. It's the sprite I guess that counts (and that fabulous blood )
- Can't tell if there's shadows as the background is so dark.

Good things:
+ The Shinnok sprite is very good (though a little shiny in areas ). Nice job on that.
+ The blood. I love it, I like the way it hangs like a spider's web in a sense, but I just wish there was a little more of it .
+ Just cool all round .

Nice fake, everything fits together nicely .

Damn thats awesome, I could tell you work hard on that, expecially on the details you put. Good use of sprites, in my opinion I think that Shinnok is frawless victory. Although the background is dark and your missing the lifebars, w/ out them you you won't know who got FATALITy.

Gosh...I can't even point out the bad stuff of this fake picture. The Shinnok sprite is well done, the giant hand of his MK4 fatality is well In place & plus the blood effect is very nice. God...this is just a flaw. Good JOB! My rating for this: 5/5

Pretty good, IMO to make it look more like it was in MKII you should have used the MKII style as opposed to MK4 for "Shinnok Wins" and "Fatality". Nice, though.

Ok, wow, this is very nice indeed. It doesn't seem to dark for me really, I can make out Shinnok's shadow from the background. As for Shinnok, this is such a nice edit. I mean really, its obvious you tried your best to perfect it. His 'kneepads' are a little shiny, but thats all really.

The 'portal' of which the skeleton hands are coming up from could stand a few more colors, but its still an excellent job. Hands, yeah, those are nice. As for the blood, I think (think, I'm not for sure) is the Cyrax weapon from MK3 colored red a little. Its nice though, though I'd like to see some small amount dripping down toward the poratl. Font is not right I don't think for the texts.

I suppose lifebars should be excluded, but its impossible to tell who the victim is. Sort of a double-edged sword...

Nice to see a great sprite edit and fatality like this though, must have been hard work, keep it up.

Tim, i guess there aren't no life bars because it's mk4.
i'm not sure about this, but i think that in mk4 the lifebars go up. i might be wrong i didn't play it for years. ^_^

ok, for the fake:
you improved a lot, that shinok sprite is awesome, i agree with tim about the blood, but the fake is overall great. probably your best fake yet.

As Nen said they do go up during the fatality in MK4. That's why I chosed not to have them in.

OK. I'll make it a little brighter next time.

Thank you. But I don't think it deserves 5/5. If you think about there is no fake that deserves 5/5, because that would mean it's perfect and I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect fake.

I agree. I should have worked harder on the portal.

Thank you and no I made the blood from scratch.

Thank you. It means alot coming from you. And I'm proud to say I didn't use the blood technique(sp?) that you taught me. And I agree this is definatley my best fake yet.

Oooooh, of course they do, lol.
Guess there's never enough MK4 styled fakes for me to remember that, heh.

That Shinnok sprite is pretty damn good! The only complains I have are that it reminds me a bit too much of Johnny Cage, and the golden thing around his chest looks sort of "boxy" towards his neck. Nice job.

Also, in MKII, the lifebars go away for Liu Kang's dragon fatality (presumably because the dragon is so large, you don't want the energy bars in the way).

So it's reasonable to assume that with the large Shinnok hands, the same rules would apply, even under the MKII engine.

Major improvement from your past works! Keep'em coming!

I like it. The fatality is cool and I really like what you did with the Shinnok sprite.
