So what would you keep/change for MK9?

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.

I thought it was great but it was only useful in vs. its funny to beat your friend, give them one more chance, then beat them again =)
 
I think it would be really neat to be able to combo INTO a fatality at the end of the final round. Especially with all of the insane custom combos we are promised we'll be able to do in the new MK. I know the button combinations (if they hold true to past combinations) would prolly be darn near impossible to buffer while combo-ing someone, but it would be fun. Kinda Killer Instinct-ish.
 
I hope that characters will have special outfits where they will dress up as other characters that won't make it in the roster. I mean if we won't have create a character, we should at least be able to play as our favorite post MK characters in one way or another. It should also be DLC. For example:

Jade can dress up as Tanya.
Sonya can dress up as Kira.
Mileena can dress up as Nitara.
Kitana can dress up as Li Mei.
Sub-Zero can dress up as Noob Saibot (in the black outfit).
Johnny Cage can dress up as Kobra.
And etc.
 
Definately a different ending from the first few games when Shao Kahn is defeated, want to see a cool ending on that last punch, kick or throw is thrown.
 
I hope they stick with animated endings and not picture endings....I liked the picture endings but it kinda seems like a rip off to get two or three pages of an ending and then the credits roll.
 
I don't necessarily consider it a rip-off. You are not paying for a film or novel. Extra content is nice and all, but it's meant to be a game first and foremost.
 
Yes, it is meant to be a game, but to do 'all that work' just to get a few pictures is kinda lame, imo.
 
Playing through the game is meant to be an enjoyable experience in itself, it should not be considered as "work" or else there is something wrong with the game. Even if we do CG cut scenes, the duration and how much it will develop the plot is suspect if you ask me. I usually watch the cut scenes 3 times at the most, it's the game itself that keeps my attention in the long run.
 
....it's just my opinion. I prefer to play a game and get rewarded with an animated ending. If you enjoy the picture endings, that is cool, but I prefer 'movie' endings instead of 'here's a few pictures with some text, thanks for playing' *credits roll*

I would also consider something to be wrong with the game if I didn't have to work a bit for the ending. If I beat a game easily, that's just no fun at all.
 
And I'm expressing my opinion as well. Just because one has an opinion doesn't mean it is immune to criticism or opposing views.

No, I didn't say I prefer picture endings over CG. I'm actually indifferent about it either way. My point is I enjoy the game-play itself, not because I expect to be treated with a cut scene.
 
The ending does not have to be long maybe a minute or so of cutscenes. On changing, if Subway stage Fatality returns would like new one, maybe some kind of angry dogs come out (MK9) or something, don't have any ideas.
 
You know what? Scorpion has too much going on in his costume. I have nothing wrong with the black parts being highly ornate, I think that's sort of okay. But the yellow parts should be played down. I'd much rather the yellow parts be made of cloth and simple leather instead of metal as they're implying. He really just has way too much going on in this version.
 
I would keep the bun on Jade =) if she is on the game =(
