Song: Ladies and Gentlemen. By: Saliva.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my first video. I call it "Mortal Kombat II: The Failed Fatalities", AKA "These just couldn't quite make the final cut...".
Like nothing you've ever seen before - I promise you that.
I shall call them, as coined by myself and a friend right here on YouTube...Backfire Fatalities.
Enjoy.
Oh, and...be afraid. Be very afraid.
EDIT: Okay, for the curious...this is how I pulled off these Backfire Fatalities.
"B163-3D6E
Liu Kang's Standard Fireball Stuns Himself"
...is the code I used.
Start a match with P1 as Shang Tsung and P2 as Liu Kang (or the reverse; I doubt which side each character is on makes a difference). Have Liu Kang "stun" himself. From there, have Shang Tsung attack the "stun"ned Liu Kang with roundhouse kicks, until Shang Tsung gets knocked back, as if he had taken a hit. You'll probably appear to be unable to move (but can use P2's controller to move!), but if you tap a kick button, you'll come out of it. Either way, finish Liu Kang off with another roundhouse kick. If you fly back once again, Shao Kahn says "Finish Him!", and you appear to "flicker" in and out of your dizzy pose, you're all set. (Oh, and, the Extend Fatality Time SNES-exclusive code helps. Along with B2B8-3D6E, for Fatality Any Round.) Transform into the character of your choice, and do the Fatality (or really, any finisher) of your choice.
I've only run into a very few that won't kill the user, even in this state:
Liu Kang's "Dragon", as you see in the video.
Kung Lao's hat-throwing decapitation, not shown in the video as I simply can't get it to work under these circumstances (though I CAN get it to work "normally," so it's not that).
And, I can't think of any others.
Yup, as shown in the video, you can even do Stage Fatalities on yourself. (The Tomb's fatal is in the Failed Friendship's video, as an ending bonus type thing.) Now, as you might have seen in the video, Shang Tsung starts to morph back into normal form before hitting the Dead Pool - that, unfortunately, means you must always be a morphed Shang Tsung in order to do the Dead Pool on yourself. Far as I've been able to tell, anyway; believe me, I've tested it.
Oh, and, you CAN do this with non-Shang Tsung characters (as proven in my Failed Friendships video), but the method to cause the "flicker" can vary by character. Repeated sweeps often do the trick, though. Helps if you want to do Mileena's Friendship, since otherwise getting her to "flicker" is tough - and far as I know, you can't use Shang Tsung, because morphing to Mileena requires the use of a Punch button, which negates your chance to use a Friendship/Babality.
And that is all!
