Why am I too dumb to do a fatality

[caesar]

I look at the moveset, it says the fatality is "close" and I need to click left - right - left - A (xbox controller) yet it worked once and then now like 4 battles in a row I try it and I just do a basic stab even tho I am pausing at the "Finish him" moment and staring at the moveset to make sure I do it right

The spacing for all of them is slightly further away than any MK game before. When I do "mid" fatalities, I usually have to stand at what would be considered "full" for MKX and MK11.

Yeah, I found out their conception of Close, Mid and Full isn't accurate and varies for each fatality.
Sometimes, "mid" is closer or further than actual "mid".
Sometimes, "close" means you can't touch the opponent, so you need to be "kind of close", sometimes you have to touch the opponent, it can be really unclear. (I always miss Kano's fatality because of this)

Okay yeah, after reading this I learned that my "close" fatality actually meant I had to "social distance" myself from the opponent :P

close = 3 steps from the opponent
mid = 3 steps from the opposite side of the screen
far = the opposite corner of the screen

IN mk it always adapts the direction of the inputs in the movelist to the side you are standing. Additionally care the spacing you need for the fatalities.
