So what would you keep/change for MK9?

I think Fayte just misunderstands what they're going for. Seems to think that having a 2D fighting plane means that all 3-dimensional aspects should be removed. Side-stepping is what caused a lot of turmoil amongst the old-school crowd, but there are actually even worse things that were implemented that really didn't have anything to do with the 3D fighting plane. (Namely more fluid but slower animations.)

no not at all i understand they're going for 2d gameplay

I dnt mind the camera closing in on characters when they throw, fatalities etc but i'd rather the Y-axis on the camera stay still when i'm actually fighting makes the game look more 2D/Classical that way

its the small touches that make a big difference

Hope there's no more MkvsDCU terrible controls answer. No more kombos with certain angles on the wall (well, at least this ain't gonna happen, thank God)
 
I would change scorpion's costume. Personally I'm a Sub-Zero fan and don't generally like scorpion anyway, but his new costume just looks way to overdone. I understand the whole ninja from hell vibe, but it just seems unnecessary. Other than that I can't wait and have already pre-ordered my copy. This is by far the coolest game, let alone fighting game I have seen since Unreal tournament 3 and mgs4.
 
Change all:
No MK vs DC costumes but a couple/few
Cut Kitana's hair
Take Cage's tattoo away
Jax's metal arms to none if he has them
 
The team should fix any glitches where certain parts such as hair to not go through character models when they are not suppose to.
 
I think story mode should have tag team and endurance elements in it. Like when Baraka and the tarkatans attack Liu Kang's Shaolin temples, you should have to fight a number of monks (palette swaps of Liu Kang and Kung Lao with no specials) ,the number of monks depending on the difficulty you have it on, and then a temple master.You only have one health bar but you can have a tarkatan (just a palette swap of Baraka of course) to tag in and out with!

Both should have it since they are classic signature fatalities. Kitana's has always been the kiss in close range and Sonya's kiss has always been a projectile. They are 2 different types of kisses so both are needed and they need to improve with more blood and gore. :-)

@VictorMefer: I hope they do Kitana's Kiss of death that way
Again I'll say this: The females need to get brutal and nastier like Kung Lao!

I don't think they are both 'needed' and it's seriously lame to have two of the same kind of fatality, no matter how close the range. Kitana should have never had that fatality.
 
only a couple things i would like to change, one, kitanas hair, either cut it or keep it glued to her back, its distracting when its flopping everywhere, two, the title menu reminds me of mk vs dc, and third the fatality music, its the exact same audio track from mk vs dc, other than that the game looks great! also i dont mind cage's tattoo, its adds to his "cocky/full of himself attitude" seems perfect for him

Ugh, YES, I hate her stupid flopping ponytail. It's too long and looks stupid. I like her bun and her original hair, not this dumb looking, super long ponytail that moves in irritating directions.

ur right it does suit him

yes change the menu and that HORRIBLE fatality music
 
I hope characters are able to recover more quickly and block quickly after doing an attack that has been blocked by an opponent. I hate it when I try to block but I get hit before. It's because when I do an action it is delayed. Please, no more delayed button reactions.

Well, actually thats a major part in competitive play. When you go out button mashing, you'll eventually get punished by someone who is familiar with defense.
If you pick your shots however, you're more likely to keep your health up in a match. This is how it should be. If you were able to block the frame after an attack, matches would go on forever. This just makes the game more accessible to noobies while taking away from the hardcore players.
 
Game looks awesome!!! Leave it all just the way it is. beggars can't be choosers I say. After what happened to midway we're lucky to be getting another MK this soon, or at all. Keep up the Awesome work MK team!!!! I'll be a fan regardless what you do.
 
NetherRealm should TEST THIS GAME!!!
And when they're done doing that, they should TEST, TEST, TEST and TEST some more.

Lack of game testing results in MKvsDC (Superman and Flash), MK Trilogy and MK Gold.
 
I hope they make the damage of x-ray moves relative to how easy it is to do them. Like Sektor's x-ray should do less damage than Cage's because it's much easier to do Sektor's because his is a projectile, while Johnny's is more like a parry.
 
I REALLLLLY hope they keep mercy out of it. I always hated it and thought it was a stupid feature. Like hell I want to give my opponent one last breath. Feck him, I'd rather own his ass than let him have one last chance.
