There is so many missed opportunities for actual Stage Fatalities to be included in the game but simply just aren't there.
Being thrown in the swinging blades to the right of the Shaolin Trap Stage, Being eaten by a Dinosaur in the Prehistoric Kronika Stage, Being blow up by the large missile launcher on the Special Forces stage, Getting thrown into the crowd in the Black Dragon Fight Club getting stomped to death, Getting knocked into cage into the Beast Pen stage and the beasts inside the cage mauling the victim to death, Getting smashed into the Cyber Lin Kuei Assembly machines and one of the cyborgs coming to life and taking the victim away to become a part of the army.
So many different opportunities, even for stage based brutalities even.
