Seems like MKXish but with with way more MK9 vibes -- but hard to tell much until we see the actual gameplay later.
If all the constant run and half screen string silliness has been replaced with more moderate neutral and footsies I'm going to do a backflip.
The perfect block/advancing guard thing tells me that they were looking at re-emphasizing some defensive mechanics rather than just offensive ones, and that's dope.
P.S. It'd be nice to see someone do an actual meta/higher-level mechanics explanation along with the gameplay.
