MK10 Wishlist

[Vulcan Hades]

Here's my wishlist NRS:

1. BETTER PRACTICE MODE

Dummy recording is an essential feature of modern fighting games. I hope you can include Frame Data info and have an option to make hitboxes and hittable boxes visible while training.


2. BETTER NETCODE

I don't care if you have to start over from scratch. This is absolutely crucial for the game's survival. Having a good online helps the MK community grow, makes you sell more games and makes less people drop the game.


3. 2D HITBOXES

3D hitboxes in a 2D fighter is just plain stupid. Causes too many problems, bugs and irregularities.


4. SOLID FRAME DATA

Heard frame data is affected by stance, crouching and hittable boxes. That is unacceptable. Frame data needs to make sense, be accurate, be universal and more importantly be available to players.


5. GREATLY REDUCE THE NEGATIVE EDGE WINDOW

It should be a lot smaller. It should help bad players but not punish players with good execution.


6. TRADING HITS SYSTEM

This games needs DRAW GAMES. Priority cannot be selected randomly, that is absolutely ridiculous.


7. BETTER THROW SYSTEM

One button to tech throws but make it possible to throw naked crouchers maybe? Throws being a 50/50 is a little dumb.


8. MORE FLUID MOVEMENTS AND BETTER POKES

The clunky movement of MK9 makes it nearly impossible to play proper footsies.


9. 2 X-RAYS TO CHOOSE FROM

This could add another layer of strategy.


10. MORE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLAYSTYLES

I think Grappler is a fighting style lacking in MK.


11. NO MORE GUEST CHARACTERS

I understand having a guest character like Kratos can help you sell more games NRS. But Freddy being allowed in tournaments is just silly. I don't want that any of that shit in the next MK. I would prefer a brand new fighter (like Skarlet) than guests. Why not make another game with as many guests as you want? I'm sure you would make more money that way.


12. MAKE MK MORE APPEALING FOR DEFENSIVE PLAYERS

MK9 is overly aggressive and punishes you for blocking too much. You constantly have to be on the move and jump around to avoid being trapped by offensive tactics. This results in fun tournaments for sure, but also makes it really annoying for people using defensive characters or playstyles.


13. BETTER DESIGN AND BALANCE OF CHARACTERS

Kung Lao, Raiden, Reptile and Kabal are perfect examples of what SHOULD NOT exist in fighting games. Characters that are as good offensively as they are defensively. Characters with no bad matchups at all that have as much counters as they have mixups. That can only end up creating a too big imbalance and gap between tiers and make too many players tier whore and drop the game altogether.


14. FRIENDSHIPS AND BRUTALITIES

Don't know why you didn't include these but you gotta have them in the next one.


15. LESS CONCEPT ART IN THE KRYPT PLEASE AND MORE INTERESTING STUFF

It's really not that fun to watch thumbnails, damaged concepts and stage speedpaints. I want making of videos, comic strips and stuff like "Cooking with Scorpion". That's what should be in the krypt. Things that make you happy when you unlock them.


16. MORE CHALLENGES AND TOWERS (CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY STYLE)

You should include really HARD challenges for the hardcore players that want to really test their various skills.


17. LESS KLASSIC CRAP. MORE ORIGINAL ALTS

Let's be serious, klassic costumes are extremely barebones and really not that cool. They should have been already available on the disc. We need new and fun alts. Seriously. I want to see Baraka dressed like a dentist god dammit.


18. MINI GAMES

Stuff like Chess Kombat and Puzzle Kombat was fun lol.


19. BRING BACK KONQUEST MODE

Was fun to run around and explore the vast MK worlds. Would love to see a mix between konquest mode, Shaolin Monks and MK9's story mode.


20. SHINNOK

He better be playable in the next game.

-Run button

MK needs a run. A dash just doesn't fit MK right. A run button like UMK3 adds way more pressure and keeps things exciting.

Personally, I don't really care for a run button, but I will say this: If they do add a run button, then they should also remove or reduce chip damage from normals. Only specials should do 2% chip damage.

I find the game already too aggressive without a run button. I can only image what a nightmare it would be if it had running instead of dashing.

 

[Living Corpse]

I can't be the only one on here who want's a playable Motaro/Motaro boss fight.

 

[Tim Static]

I can't be the only one on here who want's a playable Motaro/Motaro boss fight.

i hope you are!!

 

[ApocalypseUK]

I also think they should make a multiplayer practice mode, so that basically people you meet online or even your friends you can practice combos on each other or help each others game out without having to kill each other and then re-select characters again.

 

[Living Corpse]

i hope you are!!

Not getting to fight Motaro was a big let down. Just saying it would have been nice to fight him once a while instead of Goro and Kintaro for the 10th time in story mode. LOL

FIX TRADING HITS

FUCK YOU ED BOON - DO IT!

But no shinnok , i hate him .

I want REAL klassic stages and klassic costumes , like MKSM . MKSM was better at remaking old MKs than MK9 did with .
And no MK10 , i want UMK9 , MK10 will have MK4 storyline , and i hate MK4 .

 

[GUNZaBLAZE]

Keep the game style the same but with 2d hit boxes and moves being able to trade as well. oh yeah and REIKO!

 

[Rathalos]

Louder music.
An actual announcer, like in every other fighting game.
Reptile to be even less human, look like lizard man from soul calibur.
NO RUN BUTTON.
No more unique animations in combo strings, all those animations should be usable on there own as command normals, things like scorpions fire kick.
Some kind of hitstun decay, mostly to open up combo potential and not have to lock off combo strings from being special cancelable.
NO RUN BUTTON.
Modest outfits for woman.
Fix hair and cloth physics.
Remove raiden from the game.
Add in more defensive options, possibly a special kind of block that allows you take no chip on normals, but is limited by a bar or something.
NO FUCKING RUN BUTTON.

Probably alot more, just stuff of the top of my head.

 

[rev0lver]

^ they're not going to remove one of, if not the most important character in the mk series. just so you know.

 

[RickJames_-]

I want a coop story mode and a online coop tag team. When I heard "2 people tag team online", I thought I could take one of my online friends and beat some ass. That was a big let down for me...

 

[truendymion]

I really want them to build a new engine from scratch for MK10, fix all of the inconsistencies and glitches with hit detection etc.

 

[Sad_Demon]

I really like ur wishlist so much i agree with 100%.
But i wanna know do NRS read this stuff or give a shit about it?

I agree with most of this well thought out and expressed post... but...

Konquest mode I hope nvr comes back. I think the arcade mode, story mode and online play is perfect. Challenge tower I do not care about as long as it dose not unlock toons. I do miss the combo trophies/achievements in mkvdcu, in that version even the scrubs online had some game due to that feature teaching everyone some bread and butter combos.

But Konquest mode was a travesty.. fighting games should be like street fighter AE... no unlocks, you buy it you have the roster. If they do Konquest lets just hope I do not have to play it.. remember the farcical tekken mode thing recently... none of that shit... lets just have a full roster, a story mode, online and arcade mode...

Also... I like guest characters, MK has always had a sense of humor about it and I see no problem with guest toons, as long as there isn't to many.

I also liked animalities

Please god no mini games things like chess mode or w/e please no. Just make it a pure fighting game, concentrate on that and make that awesome. Instead of putting time into lame mini games and 200 challenge levels or w/e lets see a online tournament mode, a endless battle, a replay system, some imaginative game modes, like say KoTH type thing but if a fatality happens that toon is out of the competition and you can not select it any more. They spent all that time making that test your luck game mode thing and then not have it online. W/E my point is Konquest mode, mini games... please.. just make it a shit hot fighter and leave it at that.

The one thing also you mentioned I think it worth discussing is chip damage and the aggressiveness of MK. I 100% agree (in theory) with this. One of the big things I think holds MK back as a competitive game is that it is so hard to come back from a life deficit. Defensive play is basically penalized. The chip dmg is so strong that we will never see an awesome block string followed with a galactic comback combo that blows the roof off the arcade. These defensive blocking comebacks or both players at near zero life trying to get in for that last dmg are some of the most exciting moments in fighting games, and completely missing in MK. On the other hand to change this would fundamentally change MK from what it has always been. So it is a toss up.

 

[RickJames_-]

-That guys post above got me thinking. A game mode maybe actually called "Mortal Kombat" (like the actual tournament), people could maybe pick one character to use in the tournament. No double fighters. You can fight the other guys and to eliminate them from the competitions, you have to kill them with a -ality of some sort to eliminate them for good, otherwise they have one more chance to redeem hisself. Maybe the winner gets coins and a set amount of respect points. The people who lost, can watch the rest of the tournament through a KOTH type theatre. But bigger. I would LOVE to see that. It'd be exciting and fit into what mortal kombat really is so people can understand more that it's a tournament. Maybe have this as a tag team/coop tag team competition too. Then that will get hardcore tagteamers excited and challenge people to mortal kombat for real.
-And I'd love to see tag team fatalities/intros/ and winning poses. That would be AMAZING.
-Maybe special intros/winning poses for known enemies. Like Kano and Sonya, subzero and scorpion, raiden and shao Kahn, rain and kitana, etc..

Someone please tell me that I'm not the only person that wants those things. I think it would be great to see.

 

[Lyuben]

I mentioned the special intros in my wishlist. You are not alone

 

[rev0lver]

Make scorpion faster and easier to use, esp online.

Definitely agree. They should make his xray only 1 bar too.

 

[JagoMIH]

2d hitboxes...true 2d

no universal wakeup frames

endurance mode

improved practice mode

improved online netcode

would like to story mode to take place during mk4 - mk deception era with chars like fujin, tanya, li mei, mavado, havik, kobra, shinnok, onaga, etc

 

[mingzang]

They should make his xray only 1 bar too.

What the f......................... ?????????? Are you crazy ???

 

[Lyuben]

What the f......................... ?????????? Are you crazy ???

He was being sarcastic lol. Can't you tell?

But honestly Scorpion is broken. Once I take him down to 10% or so he ALWAYS gets a level 3 xfactor and just spams his hellfire or teleport which suddenly become safe.

 

[Metalwolf53]

If ANYTHING:
-Better practice mode, so you can practice different scenario's
-Grandmaster Difficulty, I'm getting tired of Teleport/Square Boost/Jump-in/arc kick/dive kick into BLATANT Ice Clone..ON EXPERT!
I KNOW no human player would make that mistake 3 a row like the A.I.
It's not good practice if you know what I mean.
-Better Netcode, I do enjoy online stuff.
-Different kind of story mode, I enjoyed the scene-fight-scene-fight thing going on,
But.. I would much rather enjoy another "Konquest-like" strory mode for a bigger challenge.

 

[Niflheim]

Note: This is coming from an MK fan of many years, with MK being the only fighter I've truly understood and was good at. May seem biased rather than practical, but I have played lots of other fighters.

Better Practice Mode
Everybody wants this, and it would help everyone. Make the practice mode double as a training mode, with a beginner mode for the scrubs that makes them input all of the "dial-a-kombo" strings, all the specials, and then examples of how to combo the stuff into each other.

No more constant juggles
While the "juggler" would be great for MK, in the current intertertion(MK9), there is no true "jugglers" or "air jugglers," with it mostly being the same combo constantly done. The only two examples I can think of are Smoke and Liu Kang, which could've had different juggle throws for varied gameplay.

Add more different styles of play
The only types of characters in MK9 are Rushdown characters, God tier characters, zoners, and low tier characters. No grapplers, jugglers, etc. We need more varied style of play.

No more guest characters.
While both of the guest characters truly fit in, they are what they say: Guest Characters. We know you just used them for the money and grabbing in new players, so we can use those new fans to get more sales of MK10.

Fix the netcode online!
This is the most important issue, and should be fixed in MK10, or UMK9 if there will be one. The netcode is terrible, with me having issues with using alternates, second colors, and even picking the arena. Doing these things grant me with the great message of "You have been desynced" or some crap like that. FIX THE ONLINE.

Have more uses for the Super meter, or a longer super meter
Right now, x-rays aren't always useful, and combo breakers can't always be used, and enhanced specials aren't always viable. Perhaps add auto combos, or something. Maybe you should just extend the Super meter out to six bars, with a double layering after you get past the x-ray. Then, after gaining six meters, maybe you can use your second x-ray, which is more powerful, possibily unblockable, and can have more uses.

Include three x-rays per person
By this, I mean you can pick one at the character select screen, and then the third one can be your "Super X-ray" or "Disabler" that automatically ends the round or may disable one of your limbs from use. Something like that.

A better throw system
The current throw system is basically, if your in range and opponent is not naked ducking, then you get it. I like how you can escape throws, but now maybe they should have a slow, unblockable high throw, a fast, high throw, a slow, unblockable low throw, and a fast low throw. This would create mind games, and not only that, but you can press certain buttons to escapes throws. (A and B for lows, X and Y for high throws). Also, certain characters may have lots of extra throws and grapples, like Jax has. Maybe certain throws can also be increased through button pushing? (Like Jax's multislam).

Make weapons or stance changes
Now, I know many people hated the 3d mortal kombats. I thought they were cheap, noobish, but fun at a casual level(But not at a tournament level). However, one thing I liked about them was the fact there was different stances and weapons. Perhaps this can be brought back and take away the useless "Flip stance" button that creates so many frame data problems and combo problems. Then we can take away the inputs for stances on characters and they can switch to it for stronger or faster attacks. Examples: Liu Kang's Dragon Stance, Sonya's Military Stance.
Then, certain people can have weapons. Like Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Kitana, Jade, Kenshi, etc. This would make it so they can have a complete unarmed style, mixed with some of their specials.

HOWEVER, this can create problems. Kitana could just have one stance, since nearly all her moves are using fans, so what would her second stance be? Maybe it could be used for changing the use of their normal style, like maybe switching stance for certain people would make their attacks, stronger, but slower, or faster, yet weaker? The stance thing could be used for different things for each person.

Make the hitboxes in 2d
Make the game still in 3d, with 3d arenas and 3d character models, however, MAKE THE HITBOXES IN 3D. If your going to go ahead and take the game back to it's "2d gameplay," at least make the damn hitboxes 2d also.

Attach the hitboxes and stats to the kharacter, not the kostume
This will go hand and hand to my next suggestion. Make this happen so if you release DLK Kostumes, they won't be broken like the previous kharacter.

Several Alternates and different colors
I like this idea. However, we should not be able to customize them except maybe color and mask. That's about all before we get crazy ones.
Also, every character should have lots of different colors to pick from for the primary and secondary color. Every character in the roster should also have every costume from every iteriation of them. This means all OF THEM. Please no DLK Kostumes and such. Also include one or two new kostumes per person. Along with this, make a different versus pose for each kostume and color, please.

Draw games and poke back
In MK, they should have it, that, when two hits hit each other at the same time, both are push backed, or both are damaged. Like is someone does a low kick, then someone does a high punch, both at the same speed, both characters should be pushed back and get damage to them, just not as much.

Defensive characters and a better defensive system.
In MK10, they should make some characters able to have a strong defense. Right now, in MK9, the only two characters I can think that can set up a strong defense is Shang Tsung and Sub-zero, both lacking also, since teleporters can break this defense easily.
Also, blocks should only be broken by a slow grab, and not by just any throw. Even then, they should be able to escape the throw. Blocks should still be broken with overheads and low attacks/combos.

Special Intros and ending poses for certain battles.
Do it NRS. A Special intro for Noob-smoke fighting against Sub-zero? Awesome. Noob Saibot versus Scorpion? Why not some new words? The classic fight of Sub-zero and scorpion? Why not? Jax versus kano? Add a couple of hate words.
We need intros for important battles, not everyone however.

Tag Team mode, and 3 on 3 and 4 on 4
Make tag team mode better, like the fact you can have your friend be with you on the tag team online. Also make tag team entrances. That would be nice.
I would also love simultaneous 3 on 3 and 4 on 4 battles. All my friends would love to be on a team and kick some ass online.

Harder and longer ladder mode
Like in MK3, we should be able to "Choose our destiny" and pick how long we want our ladder to last and how hard we want it. Expert is not that hard in MK9, though Shao Kanh is extremely tough.

A krypt like Deadly Alliance
The new krypt is awesome and all, but it's extremely hard to navigate. Make the system easier, with being able to use the d-pad to go up, down, left, and right. Also include joke videos, hints, coin bonuses, empty koffins, new kharacters, new kostumes, etc. That krypt was hella fun to go to. However, keep the universal koin type. The Sapphire, Jade, onyx crap was annoying as hell.

Different difficulties of Challenge Towers with different prizes.
The title says it all. I want beginner to expert challenge towers, each with a different prize at the end. Make the Towers actually help scrubs get better, with challenges designed with combos and special usage.

Friendships, Brutalities, and Animalities.
I want all of these back. We want the next mortal kombat to be the baddest, bloodiest, brutalest, hell, maybe even funniest, Mortal kombat there ever has been.

Make some stages have other places to go to.
Make some stages have it so when you uppercut them or do something special that it sends them to another stage or place with damage done to them. Then have normal stages with nothing at all.

New and old modes
Bring back mini games, like chess, puzzle, and motor kombat. Those were so fun for parties and friends.
Also include new modes. I like the idea of this "Mortal Kombat" tournament mode. Everybody picks one person, then you get put in pools for who you fight. You also must perform a fatality or else you fight another fight with the health you have.

No constant patching and fixing
I like what NRS is doing....but the constant nerfing and buffing of characters is very annoying. Example: Kano.

The Roster I want
Most of the description after it is mostly my personal rambling. This is also what I want for the story.

Ashrah: After realizing Quan Chi's misdeeds, she betrays Quan Chi and now hunts him and Shinnok
Baraka: He now serves Shinnok after Shao Kahn died. However, he has his own plans to kill Quan Chi and Shinnok's betrayal of Shao Kahn.
Blaze(Hidden Character): After being subdued by a man named Hornbuckle, Blaze now must guard an egg of a Dragon.
Bo' Rai Cho: The master of Liu Kang and Kung Lao, he leads the remaining forces of Earthrealm with Raiden to defeat Shinnok's Dark forces of the Netherrealm.
Drahmin: Now serving Quan Chi, he helps defend and fight for the forces of Shinnok.
Ermac: The creation of Shao Kahn, now with the emperor dead, they're free spirits, ready to roam and do what they please. However, with the soul of King Jerrod, he now wanders to Outworld to find Sindel.
Fujin: The wind god and new protector of Earthrealm, he helps the Earthrealm warriors to fight Shinnok's forces.
Havik: A chaosrealmer, Havik finds that Shinnok attempting to rule Outworld and Earthrealm to be too orderly. He helps Earthrealm to fight Shinnok, to make sure he does not attain order.
Hotaru: Attempting to revive the Dragon King, he wants to bring Order to all the realms, and leads the forces of Seido to attack Outworld, Earthrealm, and the forces of the Netherrealm.
Jade: After her soul was taken by Quan Chi, her the rest of the Earthrealm warrior's souls are retrieved by Raiden with Johnny Cage and Sonya.
Jax: His soul is saved by Raiden with Johnny Cage and Sonya and he helps fight's the forces of Shinnok.
I'm too lazy to write out more, so I'll just list the rest of who I want:
Johnny Cage
Kabal
Kai
Kano
Kenshi
Kitana
Kung Lao(please don't be op'd this time)
Liu Kang(comes back from the dead as an evil fire god)
Mileena
Moloch(as sub-boss)
Motaro(as undead sub-boss)
Nightwolf
Noob Saibot(betrays Quan Chi with Chaosrealm)
Quan Chi
Raiden
Rain(Helps rule outworld)
Reiko(Now rules outworld)
Reptile(makes his own team to revive/find the Zaterrans, is in a very lizard form to start)
Sareena(Way better than Frost)
Scorpion
Sektor
Shang Tsung(now good and fights Shinnok's forces)
Sheeva(fights with outworld against shinnok)
Shinnok(Final boss is buffed up)
Sindel
Skarlet
Smoke(turns into cyborg later after Sektor finds him)
Sonya
Stryker
Sub-Zero: Should find the Dragon Medallion with Smoke and take over the Lin Kuei. After finding the Dragon Medallion, he should turn near-human with more ice powers. Should still have some cyborg armor and wires, and should still bleed blue blood. Also should include pure human costume for the whiners
Tanya(bleh....but she still needs to be in it)
And finally....Tremor!
In my opinion the story should be that Outworld and Earthrealm team up to fight Netherrealm/Shinnok. Then Seido comes in to attack everyone for order, even Shinnok's forces. Noob and Havik should also lead the forces of Chaosrealm to attack Netherrealm and Seido. Then Edenia splits from Outworld and is led by Sindel and Ermac(now King Jerrod's soul is leading Ermac). Meanwhile Reptile is off with some people to find any remaining Zaterrans. Reptile then meets Khameleon and Reptile starts turning back into "human," then the game sets it up for an epic final battle to lead into the next game.

That's all, I guess. Mine as well go make my own game with all of this info.

I agree with you on most Niflheim but the character list could be better, in my opinion.

It should have all of the current cast and all dlc. Guest characters need not apply.

The game should add a few more characters, not too many though. Dont want another Armageddon do we?

It should have: Havik, Hotaru, Frost, Tremor, Tanya, Bo'Rai'Cho, Sareena, Fujin, Reiko, Khameleon (no chameleon though, it feels that khameleon was the one people intended on. Why? Name is spelled with K)
Moloch and Drahmin as sub-bosses.
Shinnok as the big boss.

This would leave us with around about- 30 from this current game. 10 new ones added. 3 boss characters added as well. So all in all 40 playable characters and 3 boss guys. I would want Khameleon and Tremor to be unlocked. Khameleon to be unlocked becuase of the 'hidden' nature of the character and Tremor because he would be a totally new character.

For story I think: Raiden Challenges Crunchy to MK with Sonya and Johnny Cage, possibly aided by Fujin and Bo'Rai'cho. Our heroes win and most of the guys who Crunchi has are restored. Shang... not sure. I would think that maybe in that scene where Reptile whispers something into his ear in the outworld tournament was him saying "dude, your super secret respanwer machine is ready, incase your souls get sucked into a hot milf". But maybe there is a much better explanation for what reptile really said. Noob could have survived the whole affair but returned good? I dunno but he has to be in it still.

Sub-Zero has to be made normal and cyber sub may still be in the game as maybe in the early part he is still a brobot but later with Frost or something, he discovers his lineage and is restored. Something like that so both exist in the timeline.
