Scorpion's penguin animality with the exploding eggs should return if animalities come back.

500. Axe Meet Head (Nightwolf, MKD)

This is a very basic fatality, one step up from an uppercut. To his credit, Nightwolf does try to spice it up a bit with the twirling he does before the throw, but that is unfortunately not enough. Maybe if he channelled lightning through the axe like in MK3?

499. 1 2 Super Kick (Kobra, MKD)

This fatality can be split into three parts, a design philosophy that would become more evident in the later, more cinematic fatalities in MK11. Here, it doesnt work, as the first two parts are so bad and they dont lead into each other. Why does Kobra shove the opponent in one direction, then pull them in the opposite direction for the headlock? Why are the two heel kicks so weak? This would have been better with just the final beheading kick, or beheading with more and faster heel kicks.

498. Invisible Electrocution (Raiden, MK GB)

This is a pretty cool idea for a fatality, but unfortunately being a Game Boy exclusive means it cant reach its full potential. This could have been really good in the arcade, with the opponent flashing, smoking and eventually exploding.

497. Ice Blast (Sub Zero, MK3 GG)

Sub Zero has several fatalities where he freezes the opponent and then shatters them, but this may be the only one where they shatter without any further input from him. The remains still being an icy blue helps differentiate this from the similar Game Gear fatalities weve seen already.

496. Mega Kick (Johnny Cage, MK MD)

This is Johnnys fatality in the Mega Drive / Genesis version with blood off. Although it is just a regular move, the opponent being sent flying off screen made me laugh, as well as invoking a sense of power in an unexpected way. Johnnys win pose further adds to this. I also got to use the timestamp tip!
