Confirmed Fatalities
Cardinal Syn handles their round-ending death moves differently from other games. Rather than a button sequence at the end of the round, they are a specific string of standard moves quickly combined during standard play. If you’re in the first round, they will connect and confirm with a flash of light but only do staggering damage. If performed in a deciding round, the string of moves will trigger a multi-flash, multi-camera angle fatality. There are several possible combinations, these are the ones I have confirmed.
