> Everyone I ever met ever, learned such gaming combos, with their friends, by trial and error.

To be fair, fatalities are not generally discoverable by trial and error, unlike combos. You have such a small window of time to enter them when they show up at the end of the match. The first time I encountered one, I had no idea what was going on and then a few seconds later it was over.

However, back then we had gaming magazines and books that revealed all the fatalities, so you could easily look them up.
