All right for instance I really liked the dragon slot on the select screen where you can select secret characters. Bring that back and add more secrets and mystery there.

Onward, I'd like choose your destiny with rotating towers + one tower "Impossible mode" where you fight every sing fighter including mirror match + hidden characters if you know how to summon them.

So as I mentioned I want really secret characters and not palette swaps, which you can play as only if you complete really hard task and quest who are in different areas of the game. Really poorly hints will be your only guide.

Here we go with the stages. We need some secret levels, who we'll fight the hopefully really secret characters. That way we value the arena more cuz we have to do special shit to select it and whenever we want.


Unplayable bosses with unplayable arenas also :)
Well you can unlock the bosses after you do some impossible shit and achievements and it can't happen at least you beat the game with all the characters on the Impossible tower! Maybe harder! I would like that.
Here too goes this shit that I mentioned before that you value the more rare stuff in the game. So I did with Moloch lastly in MK:DA :P Really fucking loved to fight him. I actually killed myself just before he dies to fight him again and again. It was insane. :D


So what other elements you want to return ?

Unplayable secret fighters. You have to do difficult shit to get a chance to fight them, oh and they are hard as hell to beat when you finally get a chance, I also liked the idea of a secret stage for the secret characters.

I would also like for them to bring back the scores/points like in MK1, especially for single player ladder. Could be fun to take turns doing the ladder with your buddies or online to see who can rack up the most points.

Test your might can be brought back in the regular ladder too, helps you rack up easy points.

An equal balance of power based fatalities and regular barehand/brute force fatalities. I love the bare hand limb tearing fatalities too but with so many characters who have so many cool powers, I think they could come up with some seriously cool shit this time around.

I would have loved to see stage transitions return, but more like the Injustice style ones instead of the MK3 era ones, not that the MK3 ones weren't cool but I think they could make some really good ones in MKX.

I want the Arcade Ladder to have options similar to Injustice

MK9 had secret fights. I'm sure MKX will have them. I hope at least three

The high/low system, the knock away spin kick, longer, up to 7-hit combo strings, You know, the bare necessities that was applied to the superior installment of the series known as UMK3.

Choose your destiny. Kinda liked choosing what tower I want to fight and not just getting some random one when choosing the difficulty. I miss that.

I also do miss the gibberish. Raiden still has his "Johnny has a car," saying, but I truly miss the random screaming each character had. Maybe we can get some new stuff.

Also... Kidd Thunder.

I'd rather no old school elements returned. Wasn't that what the last game was all about? And unplayable arenas? What is that? Arenas you can only fight in when fighting the bosses? Blah.

Only thing I'll be OK with returning is the destiny towers...MAYBE.

I wouldn't mind having one or two old school remastered tracks from MK1 or MK2.

I don't think we'll ever get anything like that again. Unless the content is buried SUPER DEEP in the game, the exact routes and easiest methods to unlocking them will be spread all over the internet within the first month or two of the game's release. I mean, look at the Jade hidden fight in MK9. No hints to that at all, but people figured out that you needed to not lose a single match and have a double Flawless Victory and perform a Fatality on Shang Tsung in, like, a month.

Though that's not to say it's impossible to have a deeply-buried secret, though. Toasty Boosts were only discovered after a good, what, 6 months or so?

But if they did find a way to bury a secret deep, DEEP in the game...it would most likely be something minor. Something major, like a character or arena? Well, why bury it deep in the game, when you can sell it separately to people who would gladly hand over money to purchase it instead?

EVERY fighter thats in the game should be playable,period. Such a waste to make a kharacter and give him all these moves n finishing moves n for us to not be able to use him offline at least.

Agreed. But as I always say- Some people like living in 1995. That's fine, they can stay there, I on the other hand is ready to move on.

MK game made by atmosphere, gore and gameplay
Scorpion's teleport and Cyrax's net are not neccessary part of equation. It's just superficial details which could be excluded and MK won't stop being MK at all.

I'm not agains't nostalgia, but all RedSumac said is true. In fact in MKDA Scorpion didn't have neither his teleport nor his slide, and Cyrax's net was nowhere to be found, yet it was still a great MK game. You choose poor examples.

Off the top of my head, Quan Chi has some good gibberish in MK9. "Woo-Lay".

+1 for more gibberish.

All I could really hope for in terms of Old school elements are as follows:

1. Dan Forden's Toasty
2. Friendships, yes friendships...again.
3. Mirror matches, and 2 on 1 matches on the challenge tower.

Old school elements, hmm: no background fadeout into darkness during fatalities.
