Both games are great, even though they are pretty different. But some things are swaped. For example, the invincibility on wake-up in MK9 was unnecessary considering you had unbreakable armor, while in MKX you have breakable armor, armor breaking strings, 50/50's, but you should risk on wake-up and use one meter to deal damage.
While having big ammount of 50/50, MKX has great universal deffensive tools, but they are implememnted wrong: block breaker (but it costs too much. You're better off using 1 bar for an armored launcher, with position and frame advantage, than using 2 bars and losing your stamina for creating a relatively neutral situation), backdash (it should be fully invincible considering the presence of fast advancing strings and it recovers too slow, so you get punished anyway most the times), the timer (this one was addressed in the last patch which is great, but is not enough).
I believe if NRS will fix those two deffensive otions the game will become way better. As for MK9, it was agreat ride, but at the level the players are right now, there's really only one way - the high tier. But considering the little ammount of them, the game becomes repetitive.
