assistant: Are you talking about Sub-Zero's deep freeze that you do the
        fatality with?  If so, then that move is only unblockable because
        the guy already lost.  There's no way it can be done during the
        normal course of the battle.

user: You are replying to All about "New Fatalities".

Write your reply.

assistant: I was wondering what kind of new finishers people would like to see in MKT
including new stage fatalities.  Here are some of my ideas:
Jax charges up his ground pound and cracks the ground open.  The
opponent falls in and then the ground closes up and a spurt of blood
comes out.
Another top-view pit where they fall into lava or acid and come up with
their flesh melting off (not bones, but looking more like a rotting corpse
that has been horribly melted and burned).
Bringing the rumor of people catching their heads on the hooks on the
Dead Pool stage in MKII to life.
Suicides.
Nightwolf splits the enemy's head or body down the middle (like Kung Lao
in MKII).
A really cool looking soul steal for Shang Tsung and maybe being able to
morph into the boss characters and doing something cool.
Tell me what you think.

Nintendo 64 may cost 199.95 and comes out a day earlier Sept 29. 96.
If you don't believe check their Home Web page at http://www.nintendo.com
The reason why they state a day earlier is because the 30th of sept. falls
on a Monday. They don't want kids to skip school to buy this game.
But if you know other games the store always sell them a day or two earlier.
If any questions leave a message on the reply or my
