MK should have moved to a Street Fighter style "super moves", with X-rays being its take on the mechanic. Had MK1's characters had three X-ray supers each, like chars. in SF6 do, each costing EX stock according to strength (lv1 = one stock, 2 = two, 3 - three), and the Fatal Blow were a "desperation" attack that required full EX stock and <10% remaining HP, the game might be half-playable.

Of all the hodge-podge mainstay mechanics the NRS games have, their "super moves" are the most nonsensically implemented: Not only are there too few of these attacks per NRS game character, they're also copy-paste repetitive (knock into air > combo > knock down), and usually noting but a cynical, wannabe catch-up mechanic for scrubs. In MK1, they nerfed the FB's to the point where they are no longer much more than a glorified, protracted EX special with a cinematic effect... It's not a very good crutch anymore, as all play out similarly, have lazily balanced and generic damage output, have no armour or frame advantage. In such a 50% damage combo-happy game, FB's are neither here nor there in MK1, in terms of utility and the "hype" they can potentially generate. Either NRS balance the moves via meter and remaining HP thresholds, and then design unique mechanics and damage output per character, or remove them outright... Maybe adding more specials in their place.

Even in the move priority devoid SF6, the supers still have utility and are far from generic across the roster. NRS could really benefit from copying some of SF standards, as well as looking back at some of the reasons why its (Midway era inclusive) games were never taken seriously by the FGC back in the 90s...

I think the fatal blows do have some aspect of xrays in terms of showing internal damage so idk what more do you want. Yes its not as extensive as what MK9/MKX had but its unique in its own way.

They should have got rid of fatal blows and wake up armor attacks. Just straight up fight and no flash gimmicks.

It's not very unique when mk11 has exrays for both special moves and fatal blows

because you are the word that makes up this definition:
