Repeatedly fall and recover during fatality
Use a fighter that impales an opponent with their weapon and loses it (Shang Tsung, Frost, or Mei Lei). In the second round, impale your opponent with your weapon. When the "Finish Him/Her" message appears, your opponent will repeatedly fall down and get back up.
Fatalities
Fatalities may be done from anywhere on screen. Note: Press L1 at the "Finish Him/Her" screen to change into your fatality stance, or you will have to figure out the distance range.
