I like the MK fighting system, but I really prefer the Virtua Fighter or Tekken fighting systems.
I hope the next MK uses a fighting system like that...
In Tekken the fighting is much more fluid and the moves feel much more connected than in the last few MK games.
In the next MK there could be just one fighting style and one weapon style per character, but they could be much more expanded and built on, feel a lot smoother to use and watch.
Imagine a game with excellent graphics, awesome special moves, blood and gore, perfect game models AND excellent, fluid gameplay where all moves connect seamlessly and counter-moves actually look like real counter-moves, not like a pause in action...
That should be the next Mortal Kombat.

I like that for MKA, they've gone with 2 styles per character. I think that's much better than 3. I would've liked them to continue on with the 2 styles thing, but I doubt they'll do that for the next-gen MKs. It's a shame, really.

No they should'nt that opition was gay

one martial and one weapon style is the way to go. having 2 martail styles simply creates overlapping attacks and rediculously long ground dial-a-combos. It was never a good idea to have 3 stances.

The 'fighting style' system should be removed for a new system. Also, weapons could play a role, but that should involve disarming, parrying, ect.
