I hope the title is not confusing for you, but I wanted to talk about something interesting...

I guess brutalities in MKX highly resemble the brutality system NRS had planned for MK9.

It is not a surprise that brutalities were supposed to be in MK9 but the devs didn't add them due to lack of time, Ed Boon said it via Twitter. Link: (https://twitter.com/noobde/status/71264814512607233)

That makes Shaoling Monks the newest game to include brutalities, right? I guess not...

I think brutalities actually are present in MK9, the only difference is that there's no voice saying "Brutality" when you perform it.

I haven't found any video where you can see it, but I can tell you my experience....

Yesterday I played MK9, I was using Stryker, I was playing against Sheeva, I was very close to my second victory against her and I wanted the last hit to be an enhanced gunshot, so I made it and for my surprise, Sheeva didn't just fall down, the gunshots destroyed her head and arms (and I don't remember if the torso lost the legs too), I've seen a couple of YouTube videos showing the upcoming brutalities in MKX and I really think those Stryker's shots are as simple and deadly as the forthcoming "official brutalities" we'll have in the new game.

I wanna read your opinions, also it would good to know if anyone has noticed something similar in MK9

Also, I would like to apologize beforehand if this is an already-solved matter of the game, I'd like to know what I just witnessed in the game in that case (just stylish finishing hits?)

Regards.
