Nah. It's better the other way. Hara-Kiris are stupid anyways.

No, it's good that the defeated may use ity. However make the damn combination loner, so it would be harder to do.

I myself hate Hara Kiris and how the loser has to do the buttons for it. Why would anybody want to KILL THEMSELF after losing a match. The winner may want you to kill yourself but why would you want to kill yourself? Its just dumb imo to even have hara-kiris on there, but if they are on there the winner should have control of what happens after the match because after all he/she fought their ass off to defeat the opponent.

Hara Kiris imo just give you a reason to want to lose either on purpose or not on purpose. It is imo a waste of fatality space if it is going to be used that way instead of the classic way of the winner inputting the buttons. I'd much rather every character have 3 fatalities than for every character to have 2 fatalities and 1 hara kiri.

Also, whenever I do lose a match I know that I am not even worried about or even thinking about commiting suicide. It just seems retarted to me that YOU have to do the hara-kiri your self in order to be killed.

Think of it like this, would you want the loser of the match to press the buttons for a fatality to be done to them or would you want the winner of the match to press the buttons to do a fatality on the opponent themselves? I know with hara kiris that the loser actually does the killing to themselves but I still think it defeats the purpose for the loser to have to put the combination in themselves because its like turning the loser into the winner of the match.

The point of Hara Kiri is for you to kill yourself at will.

Why would the other person have to press the buttons for you kill yourself?

My thoughts exaxctly. I hate the Hara Kiris. They're imo very pointless and how they're done is far from realistic.

Like I said earlier I really dont care for Hara Kiris and if I could change something about it I would either:

1. Do as I said above with the winner and all.

2. Take them out the game for good and add a 3rd fatality for each character in place of Hara-Kiris.

I actually would prefer doing my second change rather than the first because as tgrant said above, hara kiris really are pointless and unrealistic.

It's funny how the most realistic Hara Kiri is the most naff.
Kenshi's Seppuku is a belly cutting move and when you consider that "Hara Kiri" literally means "Belly-Cutting" you can see how innacurate some of the other "Hara Kiris" are, with spine rips and neck snaps among them.

Seppuku- Official Samurai form of Hara Kiri, in which the one commiting suicide drags a Dagger through his gut until he can no longer stand the pain. At this point, a Samurai behind the kneeling guy would sweep off his head with a Katana to put him out of his misery.


BTW, because I'm from Britain you must think I'm nuts, posting on a Forum at three O'clock in the morning. I do the most daft things... I always go to bed late, anyway and I'm not to tired... I usually catch up on my sleep in the early morning. Do you think I'm an Insomniac?

I kind of like Hara Kiri's the way they are. It's always fun playing against somebody in a very long, drawn-out match and then losing and having the winner sit there trying to do his fatality so he could "show you! hahahaha!" and then busting a Hara Kiri and seeing the disappointment on their face. But that's just me. Hehe.
Speaking of Hara Kiri's, has anybody done a Hara Kiri at the same time your opponent does his fatality? I did once, me and a friend of mine both had Kenshi and he beat me so I went for the Hara Kiri but he busted a fatality at the same time and it glitched. I was floating in the air with my sword on my stomach. I forgot what else happened since it was a few months ago, but it was pretty neat seeing a glitch like that.
