Geras's second Fatality is absolutely disgusting -
Also, more I think about it more I think Chameleon is going to be DLC doing the Triborg thing of having different characters for different styles. There are just enough missing ninjas in the roster for him to make a full set of styles out of them (Reptile, Ermac, and Rain; note this isn't counting Smoke since he doesn't tend to get lumped in with them), if Noob ends up making the cut like rumors suggest.
Another note the current math for how many characters there are total seems... rather all over the place. The season pass promises six DLC characters not counting Shao Kahn, which would leave the final roster at 27 going by the character select, but the website has 29 slots on the bios section (which has since been pulled, so apparently they weren't supposed to show that yet) with Kahn among them which would seem to imply a final in-game total of 28, assuming they aren't just leaving a slot open for whoever the first DLC is since they'll probably be announced before launch.
Related to that apparently Geras went through a name-change at some point because his bio on the site refers to him as Terminas.

One thing I'm not a fan of is how most fatalities sequences end and go into slow motion.
I'd rather see the character fall with the winner doing some winning pose after.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that. Or of them continuing to say, "Fatality!" before, "_____ wins!" Also, there is a LOT of retconning going on in the bios for MK11. {Spoiler} ![](https://i.imgur.com/IxPnwZG.jpg) Biggest ones are it's implied Erron Black isn't old after all and first came to Outworld with Kano, Kabal apparently never left the Black Dragon, and Skarlet is now a normal woman who Kahn gave powers instead of being someone he directly created.

I do approve doing it for Skarlet. Makes her not just be GirlErmac.

Now he's going for her arm, probably gonna pull it off and...JESUS CHRIST!"

Geras's second Fatality is absolutely disgusting - Been playing MK since the first one in arcades in '92, and honestly this is the very first time I've seen a fatality and felt nautious after. Dude, gross!

I kinda miss the cartoonish, over-the-top fatalities where people explode into a pile of five legs, ten organs, and so on.

I'm partial to cartoony ones that still have some kind of logic to them personally. Like, Johnny Cage's old-school triple uppercut I think is terrible, but the new one is hysterical. That said I'm not that much of a stickler with it. Stuff like Smoke blowing up the planet is great.

You were only supposed to be able to do it once... not three times.

Not trying to sound like the cool guy here but I don't think Geras Fatality is that hard to watch.. Not for me anyway.
I mean if it was anything like Kano's jumping Fatality from MK vs DC then I would be totally on your side.. That one still gives me nightmares.

Those are nowhere near as funny as people tend to remember them. It basically is exactly just that: character explodes for no good reason, then a random assortment of skulls, ribcages and femurs fall down for no good reasons. There's nothing amusing about them and considering how overdone they ended up being, with the devs clearly having ran out of ideas for proper fatalities, it got real annoying real fast. Frankly, I don't remember them being funny, cartoonish or over-the-top as much as I remember them being lazy, same thing with the "fade to black because it was too violent EVEN FOR MORTAL KOMBAT LOL" ones. It was funny the first time, doing it several times is taking the piss. The only one I remember being funny for how stupid and random it was is Sub-Zero's ice grenade.

Related note I watched a video recently of every Fatality in the series and my vote for the worst one has to go to either Noob's, "Do a Babality, then they turn back to normal, then they explode," one from Trilogy or Rain uppercutting them upside-down. Though the fade to black ones are also pretty much all horrible.
