What DON'T you want to see in MK10?

Wait... so... there was no beneficial reason to switching your stance... it was just there to remind you to switch back to your previous stance or some of your moves combo's would be compromised??.. that sucks.

pretty much. It was rare and very character specific, though. I never had any troubles with it.
 
Another thing that I find mind-bogglingly stupid: breaking the fourth wall or stuff that makes it as if the fight is taking place inside a glass box.

I hate Sub-Zero freezing... the camera? when he wins.
Same thing they did in MK4 in one of Liu Kang's fatalities where the victim's head bounced off one of these glass walls and left a bloody blotch.

I didn't take it as if the players were in a glass box in MK4.

I took it as the fighters are in a room, which they ARE when they are in doors, and the camera is essentially that other would-be wall in the room.
Meaning, the body parts in the fatality and Sub-Zero freezing weren't freezing the camera, but rather the body parts were hitting the wall, and Sub-Zero was freezing that wall.

It didn't make sense when you were doing the same fatalities outside, but I'm sure that it has to do more with game programming and that Midway / NRS (MK9) didn't want to do completely separate fatality animation for when the characters are outside vs inside.

Just my 2 cents, though.
 
Sub Zero randomly freezing a wall when he wins still seems awfully random to me.
Just like Raiden throwing those two random bolts into the air before the start of the round.
What is he doing? Shooting down birds?

Lots of things don't make sense in MK... like why doesn't sub zero just kill his opponent whilst he freezes them mid-match and stuff like that. MK has never made any logical sense. It's just fun.

Explanation would be is that he covers them in ice, but not deep freezes them like he does for example in his fatalities. For him to freeze opponent completely he maybe needs more time and concentration, so that's why he can't do it mid battle (where he needs to move quickly, as opponents aren't waiting for him).

Maybe he shows appreciation to gods or something? Or just... come on WWE guys also have fancy entrances. Raiden is God of Thunder so he maybe reminds that to everyone who fights him.

This doesn't bother me at all. If it does then how can you live without explanations of X-rays where fighters have bones snapped & organs crushed but immediately get up and carry on
 
Weird fights... like how Ermac lost to Stryker...

THIS.

I don't want to see powerful characters undermined for story purposes.

MK should establish that some of their characters are more powerful than others, not this "A beats B, B beats C, C beats A" system that they've had in place since MK vs DC.

Yeah there's match ups but leave that to the players and the gameplay. Story-wise, let's be consistent of it.

I loved MK9, BUT it shat on the Shokans.

Health insurance and medical support work fast at their place it seems.

That's what I'm saying. How could Stryker defeat not only Kintaro, but Reptile and Ermac. I mean, even after those fights, he didn't show any signs of being serious injured... It doesn't make sense to me.

Eh, honestly I sort of want to see this in more fighting game storylines where each character does have a chance of beating the other I mean this is a fighting game and the outcome of a fight depends more on raw power

Also, Sonya has beaten Raiden.

Man, Raiden is not a god who manages thunder, who can cast it, or manipulates it.

That mad hatter IS thunder, he is the Thunder God, it's all energy transformed into a human form.

How the hell could she have beaten him? I mean, blowing kisses? Raiden should be more respected!
 
There's something I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SEE.

Scorpion being Quan Chi little pawn.

He was never like this, has been ressurected by the sorcerer but has always been a lone avenger.

Even Noob Saibot is strong and has personality, he is more of a pawn (because of Shinnok) than him.

Scorpion was made the housewife of Quan Chi. That's why I want him to settle down this rivalry with Sub-Zero, he already got his revenge for his death, now for his family!

I know that this rivalry addresses justice, revenge, morals, deception...it's very well developed. But it's time to talk for real about justice and revenge. And maybe the "new 'deadly alliance'". But I really don't want to see Scorpion as his maid.

I think it's obvious Raiden held back in that fight. That and John Vogel confirmed it on Facebook. However, I can't see someone bloodthirsty as Kintaro and Reptile being easy on Stryker.

Of course he held back on that fight, no way she could have beaten him.

The problem is that I was Sonya and he didn't hold back :laugh:
 
I don't want Raiden as the main hero again. I don't want him to be MK's Superman where he feels like that he always needs to save the day.
 
I really don't want to see DLC variations because I am sure many characters won't be getting the special treatment (like the alternate costumes in MK9)

And also, I really don't want to see this:

Kitana's gross hair cape.

Can she have hair like this? Thanks.

I seriously doubt there will be DLC variations. Even if it is a huge focus in the game.
Environment interaction was a major selling point for Injustice, but there wasn't a single DLC stage.
 
Less future fatalities involving internal organs... it's freaking awesome but i'm worried it will end up like MK9 where nearly all fatalities including cutting/ripping off limbs, it got a bit repetitive.

No Red Dragon side stories.. (is it really too much to ask for the game to be purely dark fantasy for once?)

I hope reptile doesn't look like a freaking lizard.
