Would you want this feature back? I thought it was a great addition to the series, and shouldn't be left out of MK8.

yes hara-kiris were cool. Although they need to make them harder to do so that it will be fair to the victor and easier for him to execute a fatality instead. I'd also like to see Animalities in MK8.

I wasn't really a big fan of it. So I'm saying no.

Only if they made them look really cool, some of them didn't even make sense to me. Can someone explain to me exactly what part of Kenshi's body does he cut?

Kenshi pretty much cut into half of his lower torso, so... I don't think it matters what he cut exactly, lol.

Kenshi's Hara Kiri is close to the real traditional hara kiri, where a dishonored samurai impales himself straight through the lower torso.

One difference is that another soldier is standing nearby and decapitates the dishonored samurai immediately after. I might be off a little bit, but if I remember correctly, a dishonored samurai, who performed hara kiri, has his estate and property seized by the emperor and "government", however, half is given to the family or relatives.

They were all right in MKD, but some of them need to be done better.

Hara Kiri is an awesome feature that felt so natural to the game that it made me think "why the hell didn't they include this from the start of MK1?"

They should've added Hara Kiri, WAYYY before animalities and brutalities. Hara Kiri is a natural part of MK and should be here to stay!
