I agree, some of the best Fatalities are the older ones. I'd love to see things like Sub Zero's spine rip and Kung Lao's vertical hat slice make a comeback. Maybe some characters could have 1 classic Fatality, with 1 new. Obviously, I'm not counting crap like Kabal's MK3 head inflation. I wonder if we'll ever see Liu Kang's dragon morph Fatality again?

Well, I agree and disagree.

I agree that some classic fatalities should return, but only ones that have not yet been re-created.

For instance, Sub Zero's spine rip was re-done in MK4, MKM:SZ, he had a skeleton rip in MKDA, and Scorpion had the spine rip in MKD...so although it is one of the best fatalities in MK, I think it has been done to death and should stay out of the new games for a while. However, if Noob Saibot was the one with it - then I probably wouldn't complain for nostaligic reasons. Scorpion's toasty is another example, as he had it in MK1, 2, UMK3/MKT and MK4.

But if they brought back original fatalities that haven't been re-created again in later MK's like red_dragon suggested, such as Kung Lao's hat spilt, then I'm all for it.

Some of the old fatalities I'd like to see return:

Kung Lao's MK2 hat slice or decapitation.

Sub Zero's MK3 hold above his head, freeze and break.

Liu Kang's MK2 Dragon, ok it kinda contradicts my point as it was brought back in MK4 (and as an animality in MK3) but it should return.

Smoke's MK3 armageddon.

Cyrax's MK3 / MKG self-destruct

Sektor's MK3 flame thrower

Shinnok's MK4 hand from hell

Classic Sub Zero's MKT ice stalagmite death

Oh, and the bosses should have fatalities also.

Well we don't even know if those characters will be in the next MK game so we have to hope for the best. I know Scorpion will be and I hope they re-make the Toasty in 3D.

I say don't. At least not in the past way. For example the spine rip could be incorporated into a freeze move, without overspiralization for not to look so dumb.

The spear cutter could have differnt moves, like slitting the thorat but instead of slicing the man half, Scorps should disembowel his enemy.

Am I the only one who though Liu's dragon fatality is cliche and boring?
At least in MK2.

Also, Raidens head low should be shown again. It was pretty gruesome afterall.

I Think Mileena's surgery fatality should be used as a move since now that was are more into the future of mortal kombat, stabbing them a couple times is nothing compared to the other stuff they do in mk these days

Even in the past mk games they have "redone" fatalities, the ones i think would be cool to see they havent done yet are...

Shang Tsung-"Inner ear" (mk2)

Scorpion- "Toasty" (mk2) -yeah i know its been reused multiple timesbut i like that they exploded afterwards)

Scorpion- "blackout" (Umk3)

Kung Loa- "hat split" (mk2)

Jax- "chopper" (mk3)

The fatalities in mortal kombat deadly alliance seemed watered down.

I'm also a fan of the simpler, less elaborate fatalities.
Ex..
Johnny Cage: Decapitating Uppercut, Torso Rip, Brain Rip
Scorpion: Neck/Torso Slice
Noob: Many Stars
Auto. Smoke: Throat Bomb
Reptile: Head Eat, Mystery Slice, Puke
Baraka: Impale

True

I would love to see Scorpions Toasty fatality return, especially with the graphics that PS3/Xbox 360 will be able to handle. Raiden's classic MK1 fatality would be cool as well. I was dissapointed when they gave Subby's Head-rip fatality to Scorpion in MK:D, I'd like to see that return in the future MK games for Sub.

I'd rather see Noob Saibot with the classic Spine Rip fatality. I mean its only fitting because he is the originator of that fatality.

One other fatality I would love to see redone is Subzero's from MKD where he takes off the opponent's head and throws it at them.
