** Stage Fatalities **

There are several Kombat Zones in which you may kill your opponent by making
him/her interact with the background.  I will refrain from describing them
and 
let you see them for yourself.  You will love them, I guarantee!

To kill your opponent on The Pit 3, the Subway, or Shao Kahn's Tower:

Forward - Forward - Forward - Run [do this when standing against the opponent]

(Remember not to uppercut your opponent on the Subway!)


** Mercy **

Instead of killing your opponent, you can give them a little extra energy (so
you can beat them again!  Excellent!).  This is necessary if you want to do 
your Animality on the victim.  See the Kombatants section for more info on the
Animalities.  Showing mercy on your opponent is only possible in the third
round.

To show mercy:

Down - Down - Down - Down - Run [may be done anywhere on the screen]

* Note: Some people have found that it is not possible to do this within
  attacking distance of the opponent.  Presumably, this is due to the fact
that
  it would be far too easy to beat the opponent again after showing mercy.

This section contains all pertinent information for each character: his/her 
attract mode bio, special moves, and various finishing moves.  The finishing
moves include a brief description, as well as info on where to do them.  The
distance to perform a finishing move (fatality, animality, etc.) is in
brackets
[] immediately after the joystick movement is given.  If no distance is given,
assume you may be anywhere on the screen.

Any move which has not been confirmed is noted by a (?).

Note: In order to perform an Animality on a victim, you must be in the third
round and have had Mercy on your victim.
