Post subject: Finishing Moves |
 |
| |
Right I was just wondering when people hear that fatalities have been replaced by finishing moves does any one think of the SNES version of MK1? If we had finishing moves like Sub-Zero's and Raiden's I wouldn't be so pissed off, of course if they are along the line of Johnny Cage's Shadow Kick Finisher and Kano's Nipple Pluck of Death then I will driver my head into the desk in front of me. So it may not be a complete loss.

Well from what I can gather, Boon wants to make the finishing moves as brutal as possible, but not showing the actual death of any character on screen.
Perhaps the injuries are so grievous it's obvious one would die from them, but nonetheless it's not shown on screen. They'll probably beat the characters to a pulp, making use of their unique powers/characteristics but we won't actually be seeing 'death' on screen.

maybe when he says we don't see death on screen, maybe he means the characters are left to die while you carry on the story?

I'm hoping for brutal ass stuff. Like Batman handcuffing Scorpion at the end of the fight. Kidding. As long as it isn't WWE style, and it's inventive, cool, the most brutal as we can get on this stupid T rating, I'm fine.

Dude what you just said gave me a weird image in my head of Batman hitting Scorpion and POW appearing, much like 60s Batman. Cheif Gordon then comes and talks to Batman and asks how he done it replying "Well I would have been in deep trouble if I left my, anti-Spear Bat-Glove!" Weird.

 That would be creepy and hilarious! Dark and gritty indeed. Imagine if the added the KABLOOM and DONK instead of blood.

So instead of fatalities, we get FINISHING MOVES like in the original MK for SNES. Maybe it won't be so bad, but still. MK not having fatalities? Please... This had got to be the worst mistake Boon has ever made.

Im imagining Scorpion opening up a hole filled with shards of Kryptonite in the ground (brought to him by Lex Luthor lol) and grabbing the weakened Superman and tossing him in it just to watch Supes screaming and crying until he dies.
Hey...a boy can dream.

Since it fits so well, I'm just gonna copy and past my reply to the latest news item.
---
True, but this goes back to character defining fighting styles.
Could you honestly see Scorpion chasing someone down, beating them into submission, and NOT killing them?
This goes double for characters such as Shao Khan, the Shokan, the Oni, Onaga, the list goes on.
The only ones who COULD show mercy would be a handful of Earthrelm fighters.
Once again, this isn't so much about missing out on the gore factor, but rather worrying that our MK characters won't be horribly deformed.
I mean, I have no problem with a finishing move that is not gory and is more flashy martial arts (like Kang's cartwheel finishing move), but it has to fit into a character's personality.
I simply can't see Scorpion NOT, in some way, evicerating his foe with his clan's signature weapon.

That has been explained by Ed Boon. The merging of the universes is caused by magical catalysmic event, which drains some strenght and other abilities by Superman. The entire MK universe is basically surrounded and if not based on magic. Magic is Supe's other weakness. So no need to worry about that. I mean if I couldn't pick my fav char and not put the damn spear through Supe...it would suck.

I actually see them ending up to be more like the finishers in Killer Instinct more then anything.

That would be terribly and extremely generic. One question: How far would the team be able to go with a T rating? Neck snaps and things alike? Snapping the neck off ninja style would be pretty cool actually.
