What I would like to see return more than anything else in the next game is the ladder.

Armageddon failed to redo this as there were like, what, seven characters in the ladder, all the same fighters you would fight:

Such as fighting majority of the ninjas + Shao Kahn
Some random one with Stryker, Rain, Sareena, Reiko, Onaga, Jerek and Sheeva

Those were the two ladders that I fought in Armageddon, not once did I fight Goro, Baraka, Jade, Reptile... The list goes on.

I would really appreciate it if the ladder came back like it was in MK3, where you can choose the difficulty right there and how many opponents you would want to fight. Yeah, the ladder has always been there, but in Deadly Alliance, you just went across the world, in Deception it showed you the character and the level you're going to play on. Armageddon just showed you the characters then Blaze.

I would like the ladder to just be what it was back in MK3/MK4... Pick your difficulty and there you go.

Any thoughts?

I think if they really our meant to be doing this ''reboot'' thing, I think they probably will, the ladders are a good way to bring the game back to its roots, keeping some classic things like the ladder.

I think that a good idea would be that the difficulty of the ladders could help play a part to unlock certain things, like characters, costumes etc..just an idea, could work.

Also say If you picked a character, say Sub-Zero. The ladder could have characters that are a part of his storyline in the game. Same goes with any other characters. Or maybe something like this.

I'd definitely love to see the ladder return. I think that not only should it be like the MK4 style ladder, there should be instances where parts of the pillar rotate to have a sense of unpredictability. I'd also like to see the return of Endurance Mode.

It'd be nice if you could set up the size of the ladder in the arcade menu and even choose the characters to appear in it up until the sub-boss and boss fights. Of course, if you don't wanna create your own ladders you could just play the default ones in which the characters would appear in random order.

Also, I'd like there to be an option to choose between difficulty level being progressive or constant. In the progressive mode the difficulty would increase as you climb the ladder, in the constant mode the difficulty would not change. I want that constant mode 'cause I'd like to play a ladder that immediately starts at 100% difficulty.

As for unlocking the rewards, the bigger the ladder and the higher the difficulty level and the less time you spend completing it, the more you get.

Oh they should defo bring back choose your destiny.
It would be nice to be able to choose whether u want a quick game or long game.
MKDA's world thing was dog doo.
MKD's mountain was aight but I do think the ladder like MKAs is where its at!
Obviously with a more random selection of characters you would fight.

Ooh, I like the unpredictable thing you got going there. That'll be interesting.
