115. Up the Middle (Baraka, MK9)

Baraka could have simply cut his opponent in half here, but to get this high up, that wouldnt be enough. No, hes got to do it in style now, and impaling his opponent so that half of them is attached to the blade he isnt using to cut them in half definitely qualifies. Holding the impaled half aloft in triumph is also worth extra points.

114. Electric Disintegration (Raiden, MK)

No, your eyes do not deceive you. A censored SNES fatality ranked the best part of 300 places above its uncensored counterpart. Not only that, it got within touching distance of the top 100! This just goes to show, censorship need not be an inherently bad thing as long as you have the creativity to come up with a satisfying alternative that still gets the original point across. Blowing up the opponents head is all well and good, but Raiden using his godly power to incinerate with such scorching lightning that the opponent crumbles into dust makes him seem even more powerful.

113. When Lightning Strikes (Rain, MKT)

When Rains upside down uppercut dropped in the bottom 10, I noted that his other fatality is much better. Now here he is, doing Raiden things better than Raiden! A lightning bolt sound effect would have been better than the body hit sound effect, but it becomes less of a problem once Rain picks up speed, bombarding the opponent with lightning bolts until they explode. The explosion sound effects and second scream also do a lot to help it.

112. Death Machine (Triborg, MKX)

This is a new take on Sektors Kompactor fatality, but since Triborg is three cyborgs in one, they transform into a giant machine with a spear and a circular saw courtesy of Cyrax to handicap any attempt to hold up the crusher. Unfortunately, I do have to dock a couple of points because the machine looks a bit Fisher Price and Im not sure which part of the machine Smoke contributes (unless hes the spear?) Nonetheless, its a worthy successor to the original. Speaking of which

111. Kompactor (Sektor, MK3)
110. Kompactor (Sektor, MK1)

Sektor doesnt need a saw to squash people. The other two cyborgs are holding him back! The MK3 version has a cool whooshy sci-fi sound effect on the kompactor as it crushes Sektors opponent, while the recreation in MK1 has lovely visual effects as the device emerges from Sektor, then lights up to signal its activation. The new version also gives the opponent just enough time to react to their imminent fate.
