Stance Flip

Some people that are like hardcore competitive fighting game players say that certain combos are easier to execute depending on the stance. I have no idea if this is true or not, but at least for me, I don't even really use it (except when doing X-rays).
 
I recall seeing this question asked of one of the developers in an interview or a roundtable session or something like that, and they said it was purely cosmetic. Can't find the source though to back me up :(
 
Yeah, they said they were going to program in a function for it but didn't get any time. They left it in because they said it kind of flexes their fighting engines muscle since a characters fighting style can be stance specific. They said not very many fighting games allow you to change your lead. (I heard this either in the machinima livestream or the livestream release)

So it's cosmetic and just a Ha! by them I suppose. Maybe in MK10 it'll server it's intended purpose
 
i heard in an interview that they put it in during testing phases and so on and then just left it there because they found no other use fore the button ^^ so yeah it has no gameplay function whatsoever .
 
On the bottom of the pit stage with the blood fountains I use the stance to get blood on all sides of my character /I'mnotweirdit'sjustcool
 
i was surprised they left it in they said they were going to change it, but atleast it serves one purpose, looking at the females nice as*es and bouncy boobs :)
