In MK:7 they need to bring new fighting techniques into the game. Players and fans of all kung fu, or action movies have been dieing to make it more realistic and fun and to really get the feel for the game. But it seems as the MK team took another route and focused more on fighting styles in themselves more than the fighting techniques inside the game. Well, I am about to show and explain some examples of some ideas to be added.

Escapes:
I understand that in MK:DA they had the basic escapes that I am gonna touch upon in this chapter. The escapes used in MK:DA were good, but not every character had them. Each character should have atleast one basic escape. And for some characters, you could even have a special escape for them, such as Sub-Zero or Mavado in MK:DA. Now these are pretty much self explanitory, but Iwill give a few ideas I have for certain special escapes.

Sub-Zero:
Just like in MK:DA he slides back using his ice freeze trail.

Scorpion:
He teleports a certain length back.
He throws his spear and pulls himself backwards.

Smoke:
Like scorpion he teleports into smoke a certain distance back.

Now these are just a few examples of many many that could be thought up. And you can think of your own and post em'if you would like.

Ok, down to the main point of this chapter. ESCAPES. I made some animations/sketeches of what the basic character escape should be.

CartWheel:

The Cartwheel is an easy move to pull off, you will normally see this or a modified cartwheel in a fightscene of a kung fu' movie. It is quick, and doesn't take the greatest martial artist to do.

Back-Handspring:

The Back-Handspring is used a lot. You normally see it used in gymnastics. This would be great for a girl, or even a flexible guy. Back-Handsprings are also good because you can continulously do them over and over without a problem if you get the proper speed. These are a little bit harder than a cartwheel, and would take a better martial artist to do these.

BackFlip:

The BackFlip is the hardest to pull off of the three. You have to be really flexible and very smooth and fast. It is used in lots of martial arts movies. This should be given to only those who have the skill to manuever like this.

Well this wraps up the basics to escapes. Please post comments, ideas, and suggestions.
