Your wishlist for MK10

After doing some soul searching (AKA browsing MK Wiki), I think I finally have a solid wishlist for stages:

Earthrealm: Pretty much self-explanatory. There are plenty of locations you could have as a stage, such as maybe the abandoned headquarters of the Black Dragon, maybe a stage from the White Lotus Society, or a stage from the Lin Kuei headquarters. Personally, I would love to see a snow stage of some sort of this realm, considering we've only had something like a few times before

Outworld: When it comes to Outworld stages, fantasy and magical elements are the name of the game. The dangerous and barbaric nature of the realm has been represented pretty accurately in the past with stages like Living Forest, and now they could take a things step further by making a huge, outside stage with dragons and other mystical, winged creatures flying in the background and maybe even Shadow Priests guarding the area

Netherrealm: Being Mortal Kombat's equivalent to Hell, stages of this realm should obviously reflect the torturous and evil nature of the realm. There could be a stage on the Netherrealm's 5th plane, a barren wasteland type of stage with fiery cliffs, large, flowing rivers of lava, and violently erupting volcanoes in the background. You could also have Shinnok's throne as a stage or another stage in the city of Nekros, where a Festival of Torture could take place in the background

Edenia: I would like to see a stage of the ruins of the royal battlefield that the 10th Edenian Mortal Kombat Tournament took place on. There would be dilapidated Edenian statues, just like with Jade's Desert, and since I envision this battlefield being near the castle of Jerrod and Sindel, the background could show an outside view of the abandoned castle, maybe showing a few of the royal yet worn-out Edenian designs and patterns decorated all over the outside of the castle

Seido/Orderrealm: Stages in this realm should reflect the pristine, orderly and antiseptic nature of the realm. I picture Seido being proficient in both technology and magic to an extent. A central pyramid hub that connects to all of the other pyramid structures as seen in the Konquest mode of Deception could be the stage; the other pyramids would be higher in elevation and be far off in the background. The stage would also obviously be in the sky. Seidan Guardsmen could appear in the background and the pyramids would have neon designs to them just like in Deception

Chaosrealm: A stage here could feature the many floating rock formations, temples and water structures found all throughout the realm

What if Shujinko's quest never happens because Raiden stops him with those flashforward images?
Shujinko has also already gone on the quest; he began the quest years before the events of MK1 so it's impossible to prevent it

I think MK10 will be based on the story if MK4 and MKDA with Shinnok and Quan Chi as the main villains with Shang Tsung dead. MKD will probably be MK10 with Onaga as the main villain.
 
good job metal and speaking of some of the festival of torture. i think it would meld better with the slaughterhouse and with outworld it would be cool if they brought back at least one or two stages and some what have them ruined or desolated since Shao Khan is dead and everything has gone to hell in the social structure of the realm
 
Their should be a setting in the game that allows you to see a fatality from the winner or loser's perspective. And there should be more win poses that involve the camera being ruined or the camera man gets killed.

Definitive corners.
Can't tell you how many combos I've dropped in Living Forrest because I didn't know if I was at the edge of the stage or not.
 
How would it be based on Deadly Alliance's story? You have to have a Deadly Alliance for that to happen

I mean it'll probably have the other things happening in Deadly Alliance other than the alliance of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi such as the Red Dragon Clan, Nitara's story, and etc.
 
Something I thought was a missed opportunity. Would have been a much better plot twist if Stryker was the one who was mutilated by the Extermination Squads and not Kabal. Making Kabal the gunslinger & Stryker the outcast good guy.
Kabal still uses hookswords, but Stryker makes some kind of crazy weapon out of his batons.
 
I honestly believe that NRS should take a more modern approach to MK. Not with the story, but the character designs. For example; Kitana. Yes, we know she is the princess of Edenia, but do we really need her in a tiara to show that? Do we really need her in a mask to know she's a ninja? Why can't she be a princess but look like a fighter? I hope NRS can take a look at some of peoples' fan art and get some ideas. In this picture that I FOUND, Kitana looks exactly the way I want her to look; beautiful and fearless. She does NOT need a tiara or a mask to show who she is, I'm pretty darn sure people will know.

Holy shit, Mavado, Rain, Jax and Kitana look badass

I agree, I'd love to see the character designs evolve. Kitana and Jade should really start being maskless more often

But that's only if they can actually get the ****ing face models right on the females
 
There should more stage options to fight the bosses on in arcade ladder. I didn't like fighting Shang Tsung in just his throne room, Kintaro and Goro only in only Goro's lair, and fighting Shao Kahn in just his stadium. It would be nice to be able to fight them in different environments.
 
Definitive corners.
Can't tell you how many combos I've dropped in Living Forrest because I didn't know if I was at the edge of the stage or not.

That can be worked around though. I know where the corners are everytime in living forest. But I admit it takes a strong sense of surroundings to realize where you are there at first. If you play a corner game enough times there though it's easy to know how close you are.
 
I want all the stages the same length so certain characters wont have a home field advantage, *Cough* Roof top stage, iAG Kabals.. *cough*

I disagree I think having stages different in specific ways make for neat matchups. Infact I think they should mess around with MORE different stages.

what about a map with NO corners? the ends are just portals that lead back to the otherside in a loops. So there is NEVER an end.


Or a map with with a random corner in the middle of the screen. like a small cover wall. Taht you can hide behind from zoners if you duck. But over time if they shoot enough they can break the obstacles to get you.

Not saying these are the best Ideas I can come up with but I think variety is best.

What if all the stages were LARGE Vital?

Then NO ONE WOULD HAVE A HOMEFIELD ADVANTAGE EXCEPT ZONERS.

That's why I think there should be more varied stages. counterpicking stages is half the fun. you can learn new tricks on new stages.

... Ok, you win.

but the stage with random corners and walls sounds badass, but what if a character has a great zoning game and good rush down like Kabal in MK10?
 
Bored as hell trololololololo

What if in 4-player tag team, in MK10 you could activate a SOOPER DOOPAH X-Ray that you get by smashing open a floating ball in the air like in Super Smash Bros Brawl?

Except instead of the Smash Bros logo, it would have the MK Dragon logo instead

So instead of Smash Balls, we'll call them... Dragon Balls
