Seriously the point I hated the most at MK9... Story mode was a nice beginning but the overwanking of the main character beating every opponent was jsut annoying. All of the villians have looked really bad... just think about Shang Tsung together with Reptile losing against Smoke or Goro + Kintaro losing against SZ.
I would have loved a villian side mode as well, where they actually do something useful and win fights with them.
Similar as in MK vs DC where we had 2 seperate story modes, which connected together
