I had an idea on how the character select screen could be...

Personally, I thought it would be neat to see all the characters doing things until and when you pick them in some kind of giant Dojo.
You know, something like Stryker's checking out his gun, but when you pick him, he cocks it and then hostlers it.

Or

Scorpion and Sub-Zero are sparing, and the character you pick wins the sparing match. If, for instance, you pick Scorpion and player 2 picks Sub-Zero, Sub-Zero would be knocked to the ground, but then when picked, fires an ice ball at Scorpion and knocks him down as well.

Or

Sektor is tuning himself up with a wrench, and when you pick him, his hand slips and breaks a nut, spilling oil everywhere. He then throws the wrench at the screen.

There are lots of great ideas of how this could work. I think it'd be really cool.

I'm sorry, I know it's immature, but that made me giggle like a schoolgirl.

Uh... anyway, that seems way too elaborate for something as simple as a character select screen, especially considering the 60 or more characters you'd have to go through. They're going to have a tough enough time fitting all those characters into a standard select screen, so having to render them all in a giant background complete with specific animations for each fighter (when we know how much they have to cram into the game already) would just be excessive.

I remember Boon saying you'll probably have to flip the the select screen over once or twice just to see all the characters. Your idea just doesn't sound very do-able.

...I...don't understand what you're asking. It's a picture of Kurtis Stryker. What's so confusing?

Don't mind Kryptonite, dude. He's just messin with your head. By the way, Stryker looks pretty damn good this time around, not like the Village People dropout of games past :lol:
 
Man that's a good idea. Reminds me of like those racing games, where you can see people working on the car until you pick it...I know I've seen that style of select screen elsewhere and I always loved it. I SERIOUSLY doubt that will be implemented though, although it would definitely make the game more entertaining.
 
That is definately a good idea, I like it! I think if the animations were very simple it could be possible. If they could do this I seriously think it would be the best Character Select screen ever.
 
reminds me a hell of a lot about the original Timesplitters.
Aparently the Character select screen is gonna be like the other MK games, but instead of being flat, it will be 3d and rotate so more characters can be added without the pictures being minute
 
i just hope everyone is on the screen in the character select menu. I dont want to flip through guys after guys like smackdown vs raw 2.
 
I hope it's sort of how the render poster is. I hope they are in curved rows through. Like, you can see everyone but not from the front-angle. Also when you pick someone it would outline thier body in your color. Like hwo it used to outline the box of the character.
 
the versus screen should be like in def jam fight for ny.if you don't know what it is then here it is:
 
That looks like one of the old MK cartridge hack selection screens

I can see it be like either a cube, or something similar to cardinal syn:

Who would want to see all the characters 4 times?

No one that's who.

That would pretty much be like MK:D's selection screen. Just with more characters. Also, why is there 4 characters at the top when there should be 2?
 
I guessing it's kinda like SSBM. how you get to move a counter and if you move the -c- stick the camera changes angle.
