You know whats something that always annoyed me about the arcade ladders? They dont make sense. If you pick Liu Kang or Raiden or Sonya then why are you fighting Raiden, Jax, Kung Lao... aka your allies in the main story? I could somewhat understand this in MK1 and 2 since its a tournament and you fight the entire roster but from MK3 till MK vs. DC why has this been the case?

I always wished they made specific ladders for each character. Make the fights random but dont pit ally against ally. They should also bring in Rival fights like Street Fighter. The fight before you hit endurance or boss battles should be against your most hated foe. If you are playing as Sonya then you fight Kano before the boss battles. If you are Scorpion, then you fight Sub Zero

Arcade doesn't need to make sense, it's just Player vs CPU, simple as that.

In Soul Calibur 4, there was a short 'Story Mode' set of fights, where you go up against certain foes before ending the set in a fight against your foe before fighting the final boss. They could do something like that, I guess. Like, having Sonya fight people like Kabal before Kano, each fight having specific intros for these fights.

That would be cool.

Mine:
10-Shao
9-Noob and Sub
8-Ermac
7-Kenshi
6-Sonya
5-Subzero
4-Scorp
3-Kano
2-Kitana
1-JC

honestly i think the mk needs to incorporate a creat your destiny
so you can make many types of ladders,cause unless they can make it random,pre determend ladders get old fast(think how awful mka was with variety in the ladders).

choose your destiny needs to make a comeback in my opinion. bring the randomly generated towers to this game.

- 6 Characters I'd use the most in order to play with: Mileena/Sektor/Smoke/Reptile/Quan Chi/Kitana

- Who I'd like to fight:
10. Shao Kahn
9. Quan Chi
8. Shang Tsung
7. Kitana
6. Scorpion
5. Reptile
4. Jax
3. Noob Saibot
2. Sub Zero
1. Raiden

Who I really hate:
Stryker, I'm glad he's in the game so I can do a fatality on him ALL the time. That fucking try hard.

Please no more themed ladders like in MKA. Arcade should be a randomized tower every time.

Choose Your Destiny!!!

Good idea, special ladders should be located inside the '' fight '' menu. that will be more to the game other than the challenge tower..

anyone think that Goro is the 5th fight in Arcade ladder no matter what? I know the demo was an old build but I wonder why they even put him there in the first place.


If we only get a 10 fight ladder instead of choose your destiny this is something id like to see

1. Random Fighter
2. Random Fighter
3. Random Fighter
4. Random Fighter
5. Goro
6. Random Fighter
7. Endurance
8. Endurance
9. Shang Tsung
10. Shao Khan
