I personally did not get into MK until the second release. I was more a SFII fan, though I found myself watching the better players at the arcade rock those fatalities.
I even dropped a few bucks to see the fatalities I never saw before, such as paying the cost of another go if they could do Liu Kang's dragon fatality as I only heard rumors of it.
Fun times.
