i think since mk8 starts fresh with the series the mk team should put a rage mode in. what i mean is you have to build up a meter to do a special. i have seen in the past people continuely do special after special. the specal would be more satisfying to work for it, also make the special attack be unblockable.

the special would not kill your rival but drain a decent amount of his health. tell me what you think because i honestly think specials are to easy, an example back forward square = spear. thanks.
