MKX roster and Arcade Ladder structure

that's actually a very accurate description, i can't see how anyone views it any differently then how you just explained tbh.


Was I the only one who came to this thread hoping it would be a discussion on the design of the ladder mode itself... I felt the MK9 ladder looked too clean cut, I'd like a variation of the giant old pillars to come back, i miss that ancient look it had.

I kinda thought what you were thinking too lol!

Ladder mode is ladder mode, its purely set up to fight and get and ending. it doesn't have to make sense.
That's what story mode is for.

But taking it a step further when choosing Ladder mode i always thought it might be cool to actually PLAY everyone one on the roster instead of just a random 12. The select your difficulty and begin to play.

Maybe bring back the towers but slightly different. Have one tower set with your typical random character player and another for all characters then select difficulty and play. its seems like a good idea, but i don't know how playing 29+ characters all the time would feel.
but just a thought on ladder mode creativity!
 
Choose your destiny was mainly intended for how many opponents you wanted to face on the ladder, as opposed to difficulty and who you preferred to fight. Which is why the Arcade Cabinets of MK 1-4 even had difficulty settings.
Yet, because of cheating-ass AI, those difficulty settings weren't even worth the pixels they were written with. Those AIs were designed to steal our quarters, ESPECIALLY MKII.

If Choose Your Destiny comes back then you should have it that you can change the ladder by pressing select similar what MKG did on the Dreamcast. So people don't have to fight the guest fighters in the main ladder.
 
If you're gonna have to fight all 20 something characters, saving your ladder mode status wouldn't be too bad of an idea. But, if they bring back the "Choose Your Destiny" format, the save feature would be exclusively for the largest ladder. Does that make sense?
 
If there is one thing at all that really needs to be brought it's choose your destiny... I would take it over anything else right now (apart from brutalities...maybe.)
 
If you can rip off the head of Cyber Sub-Zero with Sub-Zero in MKKE and basically commit suicide that way then why not? I don't mind a good story mode but I'm a ladder junkie and we'll have at least 74 variations to choose from. So ladder should be real fun in MKX. I'm curious whether the bosses has 3 variations or not.

That would actually be pretty interesting. You go into a boss fight, expecting to know every possible move the boss does after your first MKX ladder experience, then all of a sudden, they do something totally different this time around. Anyway, I hope Choose your Destiny returns. Maybe even have a single fight option, like Injustice has.
