Here is a few features, arenas, characters etc i noticed missing from this game that would be really cool to have in the next mk. Some of these have been debated for months while some have never been mentioned on this board.
Feel free to add to the list.

1. Animalities (mk3)
2. Brutalities (mk3)
3. Mercy (mk3)
4. Friendship (mk2, mk3)
5. Being able to punch people through the roof (mk3)
6. Cyber smoke (mk3)
7. Spike roof fatality arena (mk2)

Anything else you miss from the trilogy?
 
THIS SHOULD ALL BE DLC SOON I HOPE mk9 is the perfect mk. BRUTALITIES SHOULD BE IN THIS MK its perfecttttttt and i want cyber smoke dats all i wantttttttt no need animalities or friendship i want brutalities and smoke on DLC NOW
 
Agressor was awesome!^^
Seriously, it was 100% better than Rage. It didn't affect gameplay, just made it look awesome.
 
I'd love to see Friendships in MK9 and definitely Brutalities, but what is missing most, and I can't even remember if they had it in the first trilogy, are 1 player VS CPU matches. I'd play the game so much more if you could just fight the CPU and choose your level and opponent every time. The ladder lacks options too. It'd be great to see the Novice, Expert, etc. ladders return too.

Hopefully they'll include all this in MK10 because I'm certain there's not going to be any more DLC.

No not in MK1 or 2, or 3 or UMK3 Arcade. The only ones that did have brutalities where MKT and UMK3 for the SNES as far as I can remember.
 
MK9 did no justice to the oriental theme of MK1, dark realm them of MK2 and apocalyptic theme of MK3/UMK3 ... I hate how they "re-told" the story ... Plus the female characters (as mentioned endless times) feel more like belly dancers and prostitutes; while in MK1-UMK3 they felt somehow like proper kunoichis and assassins.

I guess to me, what MK9 really misses from the original trilogy is how the story and characters felt. As I play MKAK, I keep imagining what a proper remake would look like; and MK9 doesn't even come close.

I guess the simplest way to put it would be (if you got the collector's edition) is to look at the Bell Tower from MK3, the Bell Tower concepts from the artbook (mainly the one with broken floors and moon light in the background) and how it ended all mechanical in MK9. The 1st two had an apocalyptic feel to it, while the 3rd was more of a "meh. Its just some clocktower/factory thing."

My worthless 2 cents :)
 
I don't care about any of those features, give me 1P vs CPU as the last DLC and im happy like a hippo.
 
this isnt really at the top of my list but for mk9 they should have more than 1 background in the main menue. its kinda lame just seeing scorpion uppercut sub zero every time.

also they should bring back those character bios before the fight demos.

and endurance fights on the ladder

I dont care about new background or bios in the start menu, they are not important features to me, but I dont mind if they add them, but endurance matches in ladder would piss me off, if hey are optional (you can set them up in options) then fine, but I dont want them to be there all the time, this applies if they would be like a mandatory free patch, if its not then I dont care, Ill just dont dl it.

Oh, I know, I was actually refering to whether or not any of the older games had 1 player VS CPU.

Also, I wouldn't mind if you could make your own ladders. Choose who you fight first, last and everyone inbetween along with what levels you fight them on and on what difficulty. Now that would be fun.
And an actual tournament mode where you'd start with 16 or so characters and work your way down to the last two, all with the option of seeing the CPU matches, would be very nice too. After all, it is supposed to be the Mortal Kombat tournament, is it not?

Yup, these are wonderful ideas and I wish they incorporate them. I remember many of those features were there in MK4 and it was real fun to play inspite of the discripcancies in the game.
