Well, I actually plotted the idea out specifically for the MK franchise because that particular game has often delved into "mini-games" of a sort, what with the friendships, hara kiris, and the bonus "test your....." rounds. My thought was to give the losing character the option to plead for mercy (would be a random occurance with AI characters), at which point the winning player would have the option to show compassion or kill the begging victim. If they chose to be merciful, a gang of thugs would enter the arena to kill both characters. The player would then have to fight off the thugs, with bonus points awarded if they can not only defeat the thugs, but protect the helpless defeated opponent in the process. In the case of the loser being a player controlled character, that player would then have the option of continue as normal, but if it's an AI character, they would be defeated for that game.
I think any of the hardcore "deathmatch" games like MK, Killer Instinct, Samurai Showdown, etc. would suit this sort of idea very well. For the most part, it's human nature to fear death. Even if a person entered an arena to fight to the death with confidence of winning, losing would raise that fear when it brought the confrontation with its inevitability. Since there are only really three options when confronted with an enemy bent on killing (fighting back, escaping, or surrendering in the hopes of mercy), and one of them has already been attempted unsuccessfully, it's only natural that many would attempt to submit when defeated.

I love the idea. The only Mortal Kombat I remember is the original, which was basically the same as all fighting games of the period - take down one opponent after another. There wasn't really anything in between or any options outside which button combination of moves to use. (Or at least that's how I remember it - this was what, 15-20 years ago?)
I particularly like the idea that granting mercy is actually harder than a death battle...because you have to fight the guys that jump you when you do!
And it adds a level of realism to the game, because it is human nature to fear death...only soulless robots would go into a fight with no fear at all.

Absolutely! I'm glad you like the idea. If I ever become absurdly wealthy, I think I will approach the game companies with a pitch to contribute some insane amount of money to the production of a game with the condition that they include my concept......lol!

She is still trying to gather the pieces together for this most awkward puzzle in Zelda´s history!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Should she be touched or... furious? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe furious.. Zelda already have seen many puzzles in her games! XD

Well it doesn't really matter given how this ends. XD

Hey Listen! You go a clawshot to the gut, then a kiss, now run...run fast...run hard...but just run
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay then how about listening to her then
My analysis suggest that you are suffering from wound to the abdominal region probably cause by a claw like device. Medical attention should be sought immediately if the continuation of your ability to live is desired

WHAT ARE YOU DOING LINK!?! FEH!! At least I can keep my bet......He's technically still alive...............uninjured..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, pretty much.. Link is definetely a winner here already!
Zelda on the other hand.. well, not sure if she will counter attack after all Link did with the ladies there!

this is not over, it still not smells like something good for her (or not, i can be wrong)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehuehe, so many options right? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
that's a nice little glower link has. though based on the rest of the commish i'm betting he's not done yet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hhehehe. till the "conclusion" panels.. anything can happen! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah. and it's not looking good
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'd say things could have went smoothly, like no need to kill the other two, but it would seem that Link is so shy he can't kiss a girl he likes without having to kill all witnesses...wait uh oh.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heheuheue, who knows.. maybe Link was just being sure no other one would know about his true killer side there! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Link: Now that I've spared you, I'm going to turn my back on you, skulk slowly toward the green with special effects shadows covering my eyes showing how guilty and tormented my soul really is...that will add a lot of dough to the commission XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You see? Link sure knows how to do some quality work there! XD

I can imagine the Smash Bros commission being King Harkarian's idea. Who else would earn a huge percentage of money from his own daughter being killed so he can buy himself a big dinner? XD

Then Ganon appears:
"You better invite me for your DINNER.. or else you´ll DIE!" XD

Thanks there! Glad you´ve enjoyed!
Just let´s see what the ending has to show us yet... maybe there is still more things to come!

something VERY bad will happen to her... i guess.

Well, next panel will be here to make things pretty clear!

and it was messed up. Like the part where Yami kills a criminal with fire www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA3aDW…

Of doubt perhaps! XD

Heheheh, had to keep the secret a little longer! XD

Well.. in next panel you will probably know!

Don't look back Link, don't look back.. Be cool
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Kinda hard to him to face Zelda afteral she made him go trought! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
gotta be kidding me, he brutally murders Samus and Peach, but bitches out right here. WHERE'S YOUR WARRIORS PRIDE LINK.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, things doesn´t end till the conclusion panels.. so Link might be planning something! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Zelda might want to seek medical attention soon(Stomach acid can possibly burn through steel) or at least trying running away while Link is not trying to kill her. Seriously how did she end up with the Tri-force of Wisdom again
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Guess she had some wisdom alright.. but seeing some blood around would make her a little desperate and unable to think straight!
Now it´s clear why there is no blood on Zelda games! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She also saw her two comrades die in some pretty brutal ways and at one point thought she would be joining them. So I guess it reasonable that her mind is drawing a blank at the moment
yup
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that was the main reason for such mental instability!
Peach was the first one, so was kinda a surprise for her and she couldn´t do much... Samus, on the other hand, is pretty much of a warrior and its used to be in extreme life and death situations, so she had the guts to still try to counter Link´s approach!
Zelda there.. unfortunately, always was more vague in terms of hand to hand combat and also extreme situations like the partners´s demise, so yeah, things were a little bit too shocking there for her to handle!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True though I never really like that Zelda too much anyway. My favorite Zelda is Tetra
Though Zelda might be joining them in the afterlife very soon. maybe the triforce of wisdom will pass on the knowledge that Link is to be kept at arms length at all times or NEVER challenge him to a fight cause that just get you killed.
An interesting scene that might come from this is Mario trying to get Link to explain why he found Peach's body impaled head first on pole. When neither one of them really speak at all.

Heuheuehue, Mario would probably do his blabbering like he does in "Mario and Luigi" series! XD
Mario: "Mahbabu de de deido?"
Link: "AAAAAAAAARRRGGHHHHH!!!"
Mario: "MAAAMA MIA!!"
