I think for Mk8 they should keep everything 3d (characters & levels), only they should try taking a smash brothers approach. So... gameplay would take a more 2d (linear) approach (with scrolling levels - vertical & horizontal) with a camera that zooms in and out. They should bring back high punch, low punch, high kick, low kick, etc. Being an "oldskool" Mk player, I remember the days when Mk was easy to pick up and play because characters had the same basic movesets aside from special attacks. So unlike the new mortal kombats you don't look like an idiot when you start out playing. Since the characters have different fighting styles now... High punch, high kick etc... would not look the same at all. They should also get rid of "dial-a-combo's" and take a more tekken approach and go with manual combo's. Only special moves and fatalities should still require some specific button sequence. 2 Fighting stances (hand to hand & weapon) should remain intact. So basically... In a nutshell, they should look back into the classic mk games, shaolin monks, the current, and basically try to combine the best features of all of them. I think the game would turn out to be the best Mk game ever...3d graphics, combined with more accurate 2d gameplay, and shaolin monks platform hanging off ledges & bouncing of walls. I think it would turn out pretty solid. Let me know what you guys think and feel free to share your ideas.
