I think my favorite part about Baraka is that they didn't make him come off as a complete idiot in the intro dialogues. Both Sonya and Raiden sounded like they were trying to get Baraka to join their side. Maybe the writers won't make him a complete jobber in story mode this time? Yeah, I know, I am asking for a lot there, lol.
Also wouldn't mind being able to replace his teeth with razor sharp metal ones and his normal looking eyes with black pits like in his old 2D sprite. I fell in love with that design back in the 90s and I feel it has been lost over time as they have made him into more of a savage beast now.
But anyway, his gameplay does look pretty sick.
