Depending on how much the different stances change the available strings/special moves, I imagine we'll see one of two things happening among the characters:
1. People quickly find that one stance is superior to the others and everyone uses that
2. Character specialists among stances, which could create some really hype exhibitions (ft5 for best ferratorr, grappler ninj VS generalist runwaymafia, etc etc etc)

Most games this is what happens, ultras, super arts, assists, isms, grooves etc. They boil down the "useless" ones pretty quick and sometimes one or two hang on for matchups, this, though. I don't think anyone has ever gone as far as actually removing / adding entire moves between modes. Alpha 3 had a little of that, as did a couple of GGs but they still wound up being pretty insignifigant in the long run.

first person to say I'm the (insert style) (insert character) of the US/World/Universe is getting set adrift.

D'vorah wears one some times but not always. Mid tier?
If she is I won't waste any of my time even bothering to try and innovate the character like I did with Killer Frost. I'm looking at the top tier and I'm picking the coolest one preferably a female agile small character whose stuck up and high maintenance

i don't think freindships wont fit a darker mortal kombat tone if this is going that way bt who knows
There will always be SOME sort of humor in MK. MK2 was dark as hell but there was still plenty of humor in that. There will have to be some sort of way to humiliate your opponent after beating them. The hype of the Babality cannot be removed. Friendships could replace Babalities. I would miss the "Get Babied, Bro", though.

''Kotal Khan on the other hand, has a style that allows him to summon totems that buff him for as long as they remain on screen. He can even summon a persistent beam of sunlight that deals damage when an enemy passes through it, but heals him if he stands under it.''
Sounds like a MOBA character.

How about Mercies? I find giving your opponent a sliver of life back, beating their asses again and finally doing a fatality on them pretty damn humiliating.
