Id like MKX mechanics with no run, no stamina, less 50/50s, and toned up anti airs. I loved how fluid MKX felt, I just wish the offense was toned back. NO VARIATIONS!!!!
Lets assume its a starting roster of 25 characters again (yes, I'm counting Goro, he was on the damn disk smh)
1. Sub-Zero
2. Scorpion
3. Johnny Cage
4. Noob Saibot
5. Kung Lao
6. Kenshi
7. Kitana
8. Takeda
9. Cassie Cage
10. Erron Black
11. Liu Kang
12. Ermac
13. Kotal Kahn
14. Reptile
15. D'Vorah
16. Raiden
17. Tremor
18. Smoke
19. Mileena
20. Shao Kahn
21. Jax
22. Fujin
23. Shang Tsung
24. Jacqui
25. Kung Jin
So to me bums like Kano can eat shit and die, Tanya is whatever, a lot of these characters can afford to sit one out. I'm down for anything on DLC and would love to see them make a nothing character like Tremor a badass like in MKX.
As for the plot(yep I play story mode), I want dark Raiden and Scorpion with his Shirai Ryu totally just wasting everyone they don't like. I think the new good guy Scorpion and the more brutal Raiden would naturally get along, and they would go after Kotal and outworld, then like Kotal's arcade ending there would be a tournament, and maybe Raiden and Scorpion's ruthlessness would cause them to butt heads with Sub and the Lin Kuei, and the special forces who are all typically less brutal, just causing all around conflict. To me there doesn't need to be another "earth is about to get absorbed" or some shit, I think the tournament setting is more interesting. Lao would get revived by Jin like the arcade endings. The neatherrealm characters like Liu and Kitana would be shitheads and try to start shit up with Raiden, Shang would return through Ermac, the Mileena clones would attack outworld, and most importantly that hoe bag D'Vorah would die a terrible death for all the pain she put us Sub players through.
