The chances of them still having all that stuff, and not having dumped the extra animation is low. It's probable that whatever digital stuff they kept is exactly what we see in the games, and maybe a handful of extra animations they didn't use. From one of the MK3 making of videos, you can see a scene where there are a bunch of Kung Lao frames on their monitor, I don't recall there being any more frames there than what's in the game, so chances are once it got to the point, that's all that was left of the capturing process, and obviously, this footage is too dithered to be useful.
But imagine, for example, just the stance animations, how it's like a frame for every 6 ticks. Imagine if those 5 duplicate frames were all unique. Each of those 5 new frames would have slightly different collision than the 5x repeats of the initial frame chance. This is something I think we could all deal with, in fact, it would enhance the game.
