Getting to play as one of my favorite Sub bosses was a treat and he actually fits my playstyle to boot!
Character specific intro dialogues: brilliant, funny, so much lore, history and references included.
Punch walk and Krush brutalities <3.
Zoning people out with Kitana.
The fact that my two mains are built around chip, stagger pressure and are somewhat meta breakers in their own right.
Sound effects: Triborg's metal clanging, Goro's flame breath, Kitana's fans, etc.
The environmental effects are superb. Seeing your characters get covered in dirt, rain etc is just tight and very engrossing.
Gorgeous level designs: The Kove, Kuatan Jungle, The Pit, Outworld Market Place, Refugee Kamp.
Character background customizations are fun and a great carry over from Injustice.
Goro and Kitana have awesome aesthetics and are very pleasing to look at and exquisitely design. Alt color green Goro plus alt color primary Assassin Kitana is love/life.
Continued support: DLC, pot bonuses, improved online.
One of the top three best rosters of an MK game (MK9 & Trilogy tho).
That NRS finally made Kitana's masked, fan tossing variation viable.
Goro consistently got changes to complete the character fully.
The balance in general although not perfect is pretty solid. I think it's fair to say that every character has at least one viable variation.
Depth of stamina meter.
Fast pace makes it more rewarding when you're good enough to slow it down.
Fun and ground breaking story for LGBT and female populations + nice to see generational progression and growth.
Great new cast in D'vorah, Takeda, Cassie, Kotal and others.
