Graphics:9
So far it's showed to be the most beautifully executed 2D fighter to date. Others have tried to do what MK has achieved here. Let us not forget that it is still a very very big deal.
Gameplay: 10
If all the hype about the balancing is correct, it doesn't matter if there isn't VARIETY in a fighting game.... It's a fighting game for ****'s sake. If Street Fighter achieved a 9/10 from just being a clear flat out multiplayer game and Arcade mode. This gameplay matches that this time around(or dare I say, bests that? possibly)
Presentation: 10
With the inclusion of x-ray moves and the beautiful showcase of the fighters looking weathered throughout the battle, this is easily one of the most presentable games to come out in years. Throw in fatalities to that mix, and you just have a 60$ disk full of eye candy. The dark theme is constant all through the game, and it is as gritty as God of War could ever be.
Content: 10
Arcade Mode, Story Mode, Versus Mode, Online Mode, The Krypt, and Tutorial Mode are the mods we know so far. This is already alot more than SF4. Also, with the large cast of characters and the ability to collect Koins to unlock fatalities and other goodies, this is shaping up to be a beast of a game content wise. Lets not forget that they mentioned a 15 hour story mode that's no nonsense and doesn't distract from the main gameplay. NRS has also stated that DLC is going to be a big part of the game so the content (especially in the Krypt methinks) will be by the bucket load.
Online: 10
The MK staff have practically revolutionized the online fighter already by implementing the ability to balance the game on a whim with a quick update. No patches needed like Street Fighter or like the popular shooter Call of Duty. They say that their focus is online this time around and they've been showing that they're not just blowing smoke up our ass. With a new Spectator Tournament Mode online and a robust ranking match system, it could possibly be the standard in fighting games like they say when it is released.
Story: 8?
The only iffy one. We know the story is good already guys... but we can't predict if the voice acting will be like the disaster 3D MK ending cutscenes we've had in the past. With 15 hours of gameplay though, and from what I've seen when it comes to characters interacting with each other so far, I'm willing to bet it'll be at least an 8.
OverallL: 9.5-10
Take it or leave it. Just mark my words. If Steet Fighter 4 was capable of a 9, even with its just mediocre MEDIA popularity. I think MK is going to becoming something epic.
PS: to the OP... SF4 not having any depth? That is ridiculous dude. You really want street fighter racing in or something? That blows my mind, no lie.
