Hot take: SFII didn鈥檛 really inspire Mortal Kombat鈥檚 Fatalities. They just saw an opportunity to get more extreme and went for it!
Mortal Kombat took Street Fighter II's idea of special moves and cranked it up to 11 by adding gruesome finishing moves, hence the birth of Fatalities.
In my experience with both games, Street Fighter II's special attacks laid the foundation, but Mortal Kombat added that extra 'wow' factor with the gory Fatalities.
