The great WeaponTheory creates fan-made retro-style finishers for two characters who aren’t in the game
Quan Chi and Shinnok are popular villains in the world of Mortal Kombat, but they didn’t make their debut until the 3D era of the series began. Both fighters became playable for the first time in Mortal Kombat 4, the franchise’s first venture into the world of 3D combat, so they missed out on being part of the iconic old school visuals style that the first three MK games brought with them.
Though we missed out on what Quan Chi and Shinnok could have looked like in those older titles, very talented retro-style Fatality maker WeaponTheory recently released a couple of fan-made videos that imagine not only what the two villains could have looked like in a game like Mortal Kombat 3, but also some creative takes on their potential Fatalities.
WeaponTheory has created numerous awesome Fatalities that look like they were pulled straight from the original Mortal Kombat games. The creator’s understanding for not only the overall look of these finishers, but the feel as well, is always on point and make for some really interesting what if Fatalities.
In some of these latest works, Quan Chi and Shinnok get their own MK3 look and pull off devastating Fatalities that fit their personalities and move sets extremely well.
Quan Chi’s would be Fatality is called “Bonejour,” and in this fan-made animation we see the sorcerer summon a skeleton from a portal and make it levitate in front of his opponent. Quan sends some of the skeleton’s sharpest bones flying at his foe impaling them in various places before hurling the skull (with magic) at the opponent’s head taking it clean off.
Shinnok’s Fatality, “Fate Worse Than Death,” certainly lives up to the name and is quite a bit more elaborate than the former. In it, Shinnok vacuum’s the opponent into his amulet, which puts them into a horrible, never-ending purgatory of torture and pain.
We see Raiden sent to a realm where a giant plant monster stabs into him with vines, then he’s sent to what is essentially a fiery fate in hell, and he even gets transported into deep waters where he struggles to breathe.
This Fatality has beats that feel like something we’d see from a modern-day Mortal Kombat finisher, and it’s even cooler when it’s presented in the old school graphics style.
