I was wondering when animalities would you return? That would be awesome if they would be in this game.

Hopefully never. I'm sorry, but Animalities were one of the seres's most retarded ideas, good riddance. I don't mind animal themed Fatalities like Liu's dragon, where it fits in with the character. But having everyone turn into a shitty looking, illogical animal was just dumb.

No comic relief. Animalities were simply bad IMO.

These Animality threads pop up all the time...

We can all forgive Mk3; the Animalities fit the kitsch setting of that game and while being completely ludicrous, I have to admit; Reptile turning into a Gibbon made me smile.

Flash forward to Mortal Kombat: Deception, however, and it's a different story. This game is a fair bit more sinister than Mk3, it has done away with the "Humilities" & "Formalities" and it has no chance of going back. I mean; can you imagine Modern, Deception style Sub-Zero, morphing into some sort of "Polar Bjorn Ala Naff"?
No, No, No, No! That was four No's. And that one was a fifth.

Liu Kang's Dragon Morph; Yes, please!

Johnny Cage turning into a Kangaroo; Errrrr... No!

I guess that makes my feelings on the fate of Animalities clear; Animalities; TERMINATED!

Fatality...

furious

Oh, wait... I've changed my mind. Let's have Raiden turn into a Duck!grin

true, some of the animalities were a little far fetched.

I even thought Liu's Dragon on Mk3 was lame, because of the inferior Torso destroy animation that had arms hanging in mid-air. It also had a weird, krappy green outline around it!

Some of the Mk3 Fatalities are good, but any Torso removals looked bad, because of the affore-mentioned detached floating arms... Mk2 is far superior in terms of Fatalities, Espescially the Dragon Morph; it's awesome!
It was also done quite nicely in Mk4, too!

Aw, common' guys. In MK3 when Striker would turn into the Jurassic Park T-Rex toy and bit his opponent in half that was comedy genius! Or whoever it was that turned into the mountain lion and would vigerously hump the loseing player to death! Ah... nostalgia.

Hilarious... But, illogical and unsuitable for a modern MK. Let Animalities stay in the past; Ah... nostalgia.glasses

or if they do deciede to return with the animalities then they should at least upgrade them. Lui Kangs is the only one that should stay the same..but for ones like Nightwolf..use a Wolf..and for Sub-Zero..use a Polar Bear..and Reptile..use a Snake.

Aniamlities were just plain stupid. I can not see why they even put them in the game. Now Lui's Dragon morph was kool, but they do need to make them animals that fit wit the fighter.

The only ones of those that would look good, in my opinion, are the Dragon and maybe... maybe, the Wolf.
Reptile turning into a snake? Nah! Just give him a mask, or a head wrap that he can take off, in order to unveil his Reptile head, grab the loser with his tongue and then, swallow the struggling victim whole, before finally exclaiming; "Mmmmm."
LoL; that's a good Fatality!

Subby's Polar Bear Morph; No! Read one of my above posts...
It works in Mk3, but it wouldn't work now; it would just look corny.

Sorry, for sounding so snobbish; it's just my opinion...

Oh, it's completely rediculouse! LOL. It was definatly not helping the franchise out. MK is getting back to it's roots when it was dark and brutal and it's like a breath of fresh air, ya know?
