Mortal Kombat arcade collection problem?

I bought the game today on xbox and I'm having problems with fatalities. The only mortal kombat game I've owned is MK9 (so I'm accustomed to having some time to do a fatality) but I wanted to own the original three. I bought it and immediately I won a match (in the original game) and tried to do Sub-Zero's spine rip. I expected about 7 seconds but Liu Kang stood there for about half a second and fell over. It's the same problem in the other games. Is there a bug or something that's reducing the fatality time (can I adjust it?) or am I just not used to fast fatalities? Sometimes when I get the combo in the fatality still doesn't happen. The special moves seem a bit unresponsive as well. (they're performed the same way as mk9 and street fighter iv which is done the same as well) I really want to enjoy the game and the fatalities but I can't.
 
Fatalities are usually enetered extremely fast because when the original games came out fatalities were not too common because you had to learn the fatalities (they were not on the moves list) so only experienced players could pull them off all the time.

As for the special moves, there is a slight recharge time after a special move to stop people from spamming one move completely.

Overall the games take much more skill, timing and precision than MK9.
