You're thinking of the M.U.G.E.N. game, "The Black Heart".

There's an indie(?) fighting game I discovered a couple months back on You Tube in the form of a compilation of instant kill attacks. It showed around 6-8 characters with monstrous designs, but not classical movie monsters. The ones I remember are:
- A ghostly girl resembling Sadako from Ring.
- A slender woman in black who turns into a spider for her instant kill.
- A giant worm with a fanged mouth.
- A humanoid creature with tan/brown skin, long claws, no facial features other than a grinning mouth. Looked sort of feminine as well.
- A short humanoid figure with a white face and three large black dots for the eyes and mouth. Sort of like those "bobblehead" nature spirits from Princess Mononoke.
I remember the instant kill required the opponent to be near death, and characters actually had distinct idle animations when they were that weak. Can't find the name of the game now. I originally came across the video through the "related videos" sidebar while searching randomly for other fighting game super move/instant kill compilations. Edited by UltramarineAlizarin
