Come on people. You know it.
I love fatalities but the last games just featured lazy decapitating or exploding ones.
With finishers and super powers they can be more creative und unique.
I hope they include at least two finishers per character.
And I don't want lazy combo like finishers! come on people be creative with magic and powers.
Like Scorpion sending his opponent to hell or shang tsung's soul steal...

you two guys are killing mk,and that idiot of Ed Boon is following your directions instead of the right direction,alias the way of the old time fanboys that play the game since mk in 1992 and made Midway and Ed boon wealthy.
Mk is famous"famous-famous-famous" popular"popular-popular-popular" for his violence,his comic relief and is joke-gore/splatter finishing moves with "stupid and funny" decapitations,explosions and mutilations.
this elements are the fortune of MK,if you took this awat Mk is fucked hard.
so i don't see why we should have finishing moves..OMG this is MK not Marvel Nemesis or Def Jam icon.
if you want realistical finishing moves play that games,if you want gory fatalities(even tough not realistical) stay with MK.
however just to make things clear..MK does not need childish player that follows the saga from deception or so on.
Midway needs money and for make money(GTA teaches) you have to make scandal,controversial ads and so on.
limiting the violence is the first step to destroy MK

read the latest interview. Boon said this game will be the start of a SEPARATE NEW FRANCHISE but he will still have the old MK SERIES. they will be 2 separate stories and they will be different

well i think that fatalities are just for MK.. and shouldn't be used for other games as of MK vs. DC.. cuz fatalities are part of what makes mK what it is.... and should be forever just used for MK! If yall get what i mean.. idk if that makes sense but i hope it does!
Finishers are a good thing to use in MK vs. DC thogh rather than fatalities... can u rly picture superman [[good guy]] doin a fatality on Kitana or Sub-Zero? lol

Agreed!! but at least he's attempting to do a spin off of emm, Damn DC is afraid of getting killed so Boon doesn't want to hurt their feelings, im more mad a DC for that than boon.

I thought he said he wasn't certain yet. It MIGHT be a separate series if it does well, but as of now the state of its canonicity won't be known for quite a while.

Dude?Scorpion sending his opponent to hell and old man tsung's soul steal have always been introduced as fatalities..
Finishers are not better than fatalities because they are going to be less violent fatalities..If they can be creative with "Magic" and "Powers" to do finishers,they can do the same with Fatalitis but ending in a grizly,brutal fashion instead of just quickly die or knocked out.

While I completely agree that fatalities have gotten pretty stale over the years, it's still far early to tell if the finishers will be any better. As a comic and MK fan, I'm hoping that each characters receive a couple of unique and visually pleasing coup de grace.
If they're merely slightly altered special attacks, then I'd be as bored as I was with most of the recent fatalities.

DC charecters have died many times in comic books. DC isnt afraid of dieing. Quite the opposit actualy. They dont want to kill the MK charecters because it would be out of charecter and most DC fans wouldnt like the game for it. If fatalities were added, it wouldnt be Mortal Combat vs DC. It would be Mortal Combat with DC look-a-likes. They want them to stay in charecter and the story to make a little sense.

but that basically tells us that it wont be a sequel unless its does good and that sequel will be a separate franchise. thats what i mean
EDIT: and ive seen in a few interviews that the "finishers" r very close to fatalities and that they r working on a way to have MK characters do FATALITIES to other MK characters but not to the DC

Quite the contrary... Boon himself has said that:
No, probably not. I don't even know if I wish I could. I probably would find it disturbing if you could rip Batman's spine out. There's part of me that would want to do it, yes. We are going to have a big event, a finishing move at the end of the round that you will perform by doing a button combination, but I probably wouldn't use the word "fatality." Superman is a Boy Scout. He doesn't kill people. Batman is always a good person.
And I think I agree with his way of thinking... As much as I adore Liu Kang, Raiden, and SubZero, I'm not sure if they've ever had as much of an influence on me as say Superman or Batman. The world has become more decadent and turbulent than ever before. Heroes in costumes in comic books are among the only remaining role-models we have.
I don't know if I could stand the sight of Superman murdering his opponent with heat-vision. Even if the actual "fatality" wasn't graphic, I wonder if it might bring on some very restless nightmares.

I'm not fully understanding what you're saying. If I gathered correctly, you're hoping that this game will be non-canon to the rest of the MK history and start a different franchise. What I'm trying to say is that based off the interviews, it's not fully decided yet. So this could either be ignored in future installments, lightly referenced in future MK titles, or completely start as a spin off if it sells well.

I think it's both. DC wouldn't want their characters being horribly killed in a video game as much as they won't have them kill, even if they've done so before.

ok you don't understand..only storyline.worth there will be two differents settings,not about gameplay...and the game will be T for Teen rated...this means no gory fatality(which is the argument of the thread btw) also for the MK side.
this game already sucks and a lot of you haven't noticed it
