irondavy asked What's up, jerk?

The idea was to have the accident and whatever explosion and fire was involved occur someplace isolated enough that no one else would see it, so that there would be as little an aspect of performance to the thing as I could manage and no temptation to spend my last few seconds trying to imagine what impressions the sight and sound of the impact might make on someone watching. I was partly concerned that it might be spectacular and dramatic and might look as if the driver was trying to go out in as dramatic a way as possible. This is the sort of shit we waste our lives thinking about.

Animality — This finisher allows the player to morph into an animal and maul or eat their opponent alive. This style of fatality debuted in Mortal Kombat 3.

Mercy — In order to perform an Animality, the player must first grant his opponent Mercy. This act revives the opponent in lieu of delivering a final blow or performing a Fatality by restoring a small amount of health. Should the opponent be defeated again, an Animality may be performed.

Babality — Introduced in Mortal Kombat II, the Babality turns an opponent into an infant version of the character, often clad in a diaper. Sometimes the opponent will wear a miniature version of the clothes he or she wore when fully-grown, complete with smaller versions of accessories such as Raiden’s hat or Johnny Cage’s shades. After a Babality is performed, the sound of a baby crying plays and the victor strikes a winning pose. The announcer proclaims: “[victor] wins; Babality!” In Mortal Kombat 3 and its updates, the generic green “Babality!!” text used in MKII is replaced with pastel colored alphabet blocks and a short lullaby.
