Each game has a new concept that never comes back. Death traps, air combat, falling combat, close combat, and I think x rays are the next on the list. They were cool but I would like to see an entirely new concept. But perhaps they would keep the enhanced special moves, I'd be okay with that.
I doubt it, the whole premis of X-rays is the equivalent of Critical Finishes in Soul Calibur or Ultras in Street Fighter, the X-ray being apart of the meter is a strategic tool that adds depth to the fighting engine and is a balanced addition, unlike some of the others. The X-rays people have may change, but I don't think that's a feature that's gone.
As I'm sure you're aware, breakers were introduced in the 3D games and have stayed around since then, I see the X-rays following the same fate.
The difference between death traps is they don't really add any major depth, it's kind of a, whoever gets lucky and knocks an opponent in wins if a death trap is involved, you could be at full health and your opponent at near zero and win from a one hit move, you win. Not a very good tool for improving depth or competitive.
Close Kombat and falling kombat were also not balanced or tourney suitable additions, they literally have you out of control of the damage you sustain in those modes, it's a game of chance instead of skill, also why those modes were dropped for a tourney worth game.
Air grabs and attacks have been apart of MK for quite sometime prior to Armageddon, they just turned it into the more classic style of their air attacks and focused on ground combat, to resounding success.
