Fatality (Samurai Shodown)

Fatalities can occur in the Samurai Shodown series when the victorious character makes a final lethal attack against their opponent.

Some times the losing character is simply killed, signified by their coffin being removed from the battlefield. A few instances show a more graphic and explicit death animation. Even if a character is "declared dead" they can always reappear if another player selects that character. On rare occasion, a "double fatality" may occur. The two characters reappear, uninjured, in the next match.

Item Fatalities
These occur when a character is split in half and several "items" come out, which then vanish, granting the winner points. The items represent the victim's personality.

A partial listing of the items:


 * Nicotine Caffeine: o-fuda card, which he normally uses to summon creatures in combat
 * Cham Cham: bananas
 * Charlotte Christine de Colde: roses, which she usually throws as part of her taunt
 * Earthquake: cooked chicken, which he eats upon victory
 * Haohmaru: gold coins
 * Hanzo Hattori: shuriken
 * Genjuro Kibagami: hanafuda cards
 * Nakoruru: petals
 * Kyoshiro Senryo: fans
 * Genan Shiranui: skulls
 * Neinhalt Sieger: brass shells (for his gun)
 * Ukyo Tachibana: apples (the sort he throws as part of a move)
 * Galford D. Weller: bones (which he usually feeds Poppy)
