in MK8(or 9) i hope that The Fatalitys system is revamped.Make pulling off Fatalitys easier,instead of pulling off all these buttons withing 10 seconds.Just press one of like 4 buttons and each button has a diffrent Fatality.It would be so much easier then mindless button mashing FAST.

-What do you think

You mean a one-button Fatality feature? Like the cheat ones in MkT? No I would not want to see that. A simple combination of directions & buttons is always nice and classy. See MkD for example.

I made a thread about this a while ago. Fatalities are just tacked on and add nothing at all to strategy in a match. They don't need to be there, but they're crucial to the MK name nonetheless.

So instead of hearing "Finish Him!" and inserting a command, you should do them automatically when you actually KO your opponent. This could allow for more unique finishing animations and more special moves you can use that were previously only Fatalities in other games.

For example, when you freeze somebody with Sub-Zero and uppercut them, they shatter to pieces if the uppercut is the last hit that wins you the match. If Scorpion throws his spear, it rips their throats out instead of dragging them toward you if the spear is what wins you the match.

I like the button mashing because its makes you more competitive once you learn to do fatalities fast.

People who only press one button once the "Finish Him/Her" sign appears are not worthy of being shown a fatality. You have to earn it.

I never found the fatalities that hard, they are a lot easier than some of those 10 hit combos.

Yeah it usually took me about 5 mins. but after that I got pretty good at it. Plus you need all those combinations, because if its just one hit fatalitys there isn't really an award at the end, its just someone dying.

Ok, I'll give props to Dragunov, for saying Mileenas over-rated.
The saying failed is really lame now.

What do fatalities have to do at all with competition?

It makes you a better competitor if you know fatalities because your friends will be like " i dont want to face him hes good"

I'd prefer Character only Fatalties, MKA KAF just sucked so bad....I prefered to just do 3 instead of all that other crap.........

yeah I bet they tell you to burn stuff and only you can see them but let's get on topic the mka fatalities kinda remove the fun of original fatalites but threw in fun new mini game.
