Either one of these would be great.
So are movies and not all of them have on-screen deaths to make them great. The Dark Knight is a great example - the pencil trick, a man burning alive on top of his money, a shotgun to the face, an exploding woman, etc. And you know what? It was still a great film.
As for the word killer in the title - itās an adjective thatās merely describing the other word in the title, instinct. It doesnāt necessarily mean that they are all killers.

One key difference. You have to work for your rewards in video games. More so in fighting games. If Iāve defeated my opponent and earned the right to finish them off, I want to see it.

And directors have to work to grab their audience. Itās no different.

You earned the right to finish them off but where did you earn the right to see it?

I saw it - I used my imagination.

At this point we are all arguing with one guy who, prior to his involvement in this thread, had only ever posted about how terrible it was that KI had no finishers, how he hadnt played in a year and how he probably wouldnāt buy Season 3. This isnāt really a conversation worth havingā¦

It isnāt worth having but it is still fun XD
That somehow makes my opinion worth less than any other member? Riiiiiiightā¦
Apparently I was worth looking up.

Hey @VladKravich, is there a statement you want to make with regard to the SCV critical arts? Iām seeing a bunch of non-finishers that make the Ultimates look like brutal and creative masterpiecesā¦ but Iām guessing that isnāt the point youāre trying to make.

Your opinion is fine. But your posting history is instructive. You have one issue that you care about and this is it. You donāt seem to have much interest in the rest of the game. So it speaks to the futility of trying to convince you.
SCV ruined that series for meā¦
Convince me of what? That the ultimates so far arenāt disappointing? Iām not the only one who feels the same. Go look at the YouTube comments on these videos. Not much love there either.
You rely on YouTube comments?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Itās off topic but I find it hard to argue. It somehow took the most beautifully fluid fighter in history and made it kind of janky. And I will never understand Namcoās fascination with swapping out characters for new models that fight with the same movesā¦
I wanted to like it. I loved SC1-2, and IV (I was late to the PS party so I missed 3). I actually still own the SCV disc because I rarely get rid of fighting games. But it was just meh.
And, to pretend Iām even slightly on topic, those critical arts were not only uninspired, they were kind of a lousy game mechanic as well. Closer to a SF Super than a finishing move but not as useful.

Look at some of those finishers, some include impalements (raphaelās) without gore and yet the the game is rated T. Iām sure KI can do the same and of course, better. Ezioās includes shooting the opponent, itās violent but not gory, thatās my point.
It already does. 
Didnāt say it already doesnāt.
