Could a variation switch system work?

[Slymind]

MK11 references a lot of elements from past MK games, back then we had stance switch, what if we could pick two variations every match and have the ability to switch them mid-match?

Not all the time, if you switch once you would have to wait some time before being able to switch again.

It would give the stance switch button a more practical reason for existing.

I think it would be interesting if we could switch anytime(with some cooldown as i mentioned), because it could lead to some new setups, like switching variations mid combos for new combo paths, or setting two totems with Kotal on buluc, switch to totemic and setting the blood totem for 3 stacks on every totem.

I wish they would add a mode like that, MK DECEPTION STYLE, yes, it would be broken for some characters but it will add a learning curve, so much combo potential and fun to the game!!!

Precisely, thought the same.

That’s sounds interesting. I imagine it would cause some balance issues.

The characters in this game are too bland for variation switch midmatch, might as well kill off variation and give as full fleshed out chars

I don't quite get what you mean by this.

Also, it would be impossible to a character to retain every single ability at once.

I mean that’s basically how Zatanna played, and it was fuuuuuun

I'd rather just have the esports rules say you can variation switch between rounds even if you win.

Most of the base characters are so awful that no variation mechanic can fix them imo

I think they're literally referring to ROUNDS. Like between round 1 and 2 of a single match.

no it is even stupider... they are talking about linking the variations to stances. So you can switch stance mid round to switch variation. As in every time you press the stance button you swap.

or nrs just makes custom legal across competitive.
