	Will everybody stop calling them fatalities!  A person's fatality is
when that person gets killed.  I can do a fatality easily.  I just let the
computer kill me.  Will everybody stop calling them fatalities, call them
death moves.

If you will notice....the game itself calls them fatalities "Johnny Cage
wins. Fatality" so it only makes sens to call them fatalities.

Maybe the reason why people call them fatalities, are becuase THEY ARE
fatalities!

You don't hear the person yell out:

"Flawless Victory ... DEATH MOVE"?  Do you? NO!  He says

"Flawless Victory ... FATALITY!"
