Throughout the series, we've seen some different ladder looks

1-4 - I guess we can call this the "traditional" ladder where it's just the portraits that has you moving up once you've beaten your opponent. Kahn sits on top of the mountain when he's the boss.

Deadly Alliance - The portrait of your opponent hovers over the actual arena, kind of like a map-like look. You get to see the outside of the arena, which I thought was pretty neat looking (and it's also one of my favorite).

Deception - Kind of goes back to the traditional looking ladder except your opponent is in an idle fighting stance with a screenshot of the arena behind them. Once they're defeated they somewhat roll around on the ground before you move upward to the next character.

Armageddon - Goes back to the traditional looking ladder except when you reach Blaze, you see him roaring on top of the pyramid, but the rest of the ladder is just you staring at portraits.

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe - Ladder has it where the heads of your opponent are in front of the arena you'll be fighting them in.

2011 - Sort of the same appeal of DC Universe except you don't see the arena behind your opponent and they change poses when you reach their portrait.


Now, with all of this said, is there any kind of appeal you want for the ladder? I've always liked the Deadly Alliance's version because it was so cool that you get to see the outside of the arena you're fighting in. It felt more interesting seeing how it looks like you're traveling around to opponent to opponent. What do you guys think? Want to see what we've already seen or something different?
