So what would you keep/change for MK9?

I'm not sure if this has been covered yet, but I'm not a big fan of the awkward backwards fall characters take when they lose a round after being hit be a jab or any other attack that doesn't completely knock a character down. It doesn't seem very realistic when they kinda just faint for a quick second and get right back up. Maybe it's just me, but I'd like to hear what others have to say.

i thought the same thing, there was a lot of footage of players getting knocked down and loosing the last part of their health in the process only to stand back up to fall down again, it looked as if they stood back up realised they had no health left then fell down agai lol, anyway it looked wrong,check out the thread called 'stupid mk9 fall glitch thing'

It Would Be Cool If Fighters Can Lose Things In Fights Like If Warrior Have Hat Possible Lose It In Fight . Or If Warrior Have Ponitail Hair In Fight Hair Go Free ...

especially johnny cage losing the glasses or them breaking :) but as for loosing the hat, kung laos the only one that springs to mind and he seems to loose the hat everytime he throws it only to have it magically re-appear on his head! lol

Personally i would like to see MK take a page out of Street Fighter IVs game and make it a 2D fighter. They can still make it look cool, and i think the game would play better if it werent a 3D fighter.

What about paper mario style? Giving you the ability to choose either 2d or 3d?
It would most likely just be too big to fit onto the game though
 
Thing's I'd like to see changed....

Ridiculous fall animation as cited by several others

Crappy opponent flying off screen animation

I'd like to see them just land in the background or foreground in different positions depending during the remainder of the match.

Add some damn buttons for Cyrax to be pushing for this fatality...

It's all about the little things..

Explain why a plasma net containing approx 245 squares only cuts the opponent into 10 pieces...

Fix Kitana's Hair!!!!! It looks like a black Jelly fish with it's tentacles attached to her scalp!

Sub-Zero's magic turn-the-torso animation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJHfMJDvmzs&t=3m40s

Add a hole in the opponents stomach where an entire fist and forearm just punctured it to crush an internal organ, hell add some serious blood leakage to the wound as well while your at it.

Make this fatality not suck so much...

As well as this one...

At least add some meat and blood from the exploded body parts all over the arena. I will say the flaming torso is nice though!

Get Ed Boon some hair plugs...

I'm wishing that they'd keep the cool shadow under Kung Lao's hat. I think he loses that mysterious aura when you can see his eyes. I realize the screen shots we've seen to this point are unfinished, but I don't think he looks as cool without that shadow. I understand, that he's a good guy and all. But when I was first introduced to the character in Mortal Kombat II, I loved that you could never see his eyes. Anyone else agree?

You know what,your right. In mk2 you could not see his eyes. Interesting point. He was more mysterious in Mk 2 because of this. Before, I saw the ending in mk2 I remember having a feeling that he might turn on Liu Kang. Glad you brought that up Calatyte, I liked Kung Lao a lot in MK2.
 
In versus screen some characters have their fingers shown in a unatural way. Like sub zero in the pic below. In UMK3 this was not an issue. I just find it weird in MK 9, I don't know if someone else agrees.

Yeah wonder if the developers read this these forums. It seems like a simple enough thing to fix. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that.
 
Definitely I would get rid of the announcer.. man, I don't know about you but I really really hate that voice, specially the "fatality" voice, it's so overacted.

The falldown character animation, of course, nobody likes that.

And characters presentations before each match "this will be your last bla bla bla", they are serious fighters, they don't have to say anything, just beat the hell out of each other. It reminds me of Street Fighter IV and that we had to hear the same crap over and over and over again. Or at least I hope you can turn this "taunt" off in the options screen.
 
TOTALLY! ive said this before and ill say it again, kung lao looks like a small boy in mk9!! he has a proper baby face!!haha and hes way too short and bulky, in mk2 and 3 he was tall skinny and you never saw his face during gameplay which like you said made him more mysterious, id say the same for raiden, he needs his mysterious persona like in MK2 keep him hidden under the at and when you do catch a glimpse of his eyes theyll look awesome just all glowing white under the shadowy hat :) less is more!

RAIDEN!!!! , raiden in MK9 is ok but im not happy he looks more human than god like and dont like the gold trimmings!! why golllld!!!! im talking to you too scorpion!! Too much gollld now in outworld!!, innyhoo yerr Raidens MK2 look was by far the best, he looked so much better and god like and mysterious with his pale white/grey skin, they should of done that in MK9 rather than the plain human look, anyone agreee!??

i cant see nothing wrong with the fingers they look like possible positions to me and still dramatic like the MK comics, plus the umk3 subzero one was made by a using a real guy so thats a real position its just the lighting that makes it look like plactecine lol,
