BANALITY
alright so we know theres no tag mode in MKX and obviously with the 3 variations tag mode would be insanely difficult to balance out.
but that does not mean the there cant be other VS modes like 2vs2 3vs3 4vs4 etc
the characters dont need to be able to swap in and out (tag) but just have it so once your characters health reaches zero your next character jumps in till all are finished.
its obviously not as fun as tag but its better than nothing also i notice in online tag matches a lot of players dont bother with the tag feature anyway and just play the first character till they die then continue with the next character with no tagging in and out and no tag combos.
i remember Mortal Kombat 3 had a mode called ENDURANCE MODE where you could select anything up to 8 characters a side. once one of your characters die the next one just jumps in and i remember the announcer used to say the name of the character that jumped in which i always thought was a cool touch.
it also has the option of 4 players having 2 players on each team each controlling their own selection of characters
up to 8 players is probably a bit extreme for todays MK since the rounds tend to last longer due to the game being more technical now compared to MK3 bit i think anything up to 4vs4 would be a great addition. i also dont think it would too hard to add a feature like this to the game since theres no balancing to worry about. its simple additional feature yet can add so much to the games vs mode and multiplayer and if they could do it way back in 1995 with MK3 why not now?
in online mode you could have a 4vs4 match where you team up with some other online player and pick 2 characters each and fight another team of 2 people who control 2 characters each. allthough you would need a pretty awesome online netcode to take it that far but it still shows there are lots of possibilities from one simple additional feature. also i dont know if any other fighting games do that as i dont follow any other fighting games only MK. i also think a feature like this could be implemented into the whole faction war thing where you could team up with members of the same faction.
anyway i hope they are doing something like this because as of now it looks like 1vs1 is the only option. and for all those that loved tag and are dissapointed that theres no tag in MKX at least this would be the next best thing for them.
i know a lot of people dont like the idea because the matches can take longer but there are some people that like playing long drawn out battles and want more options than just 1vs1. and i think an Endurance mode could be a good addition for those people.
so what do you guys think?
