Should MKX have more status-oriented characters?

[Gesture Required Ahead]

MK9 and Injustice had their fair share of status-based attacks such as Noob's Ghostball that rendered the opponent unable to block, Quan Chi's Skeletal Boost that gave him an offensive or defensive buff, Zatana's MB Puppet Master that made buttons switch up or Harley's Trait and Play Doctor.

I think D'Vorah can probably have something along the lines of using her Swarms in her Swarm variant to use status-changing attacks like continuous damage, slow-downs, defense debuff.

Just an idea. Maybe if they're already satisfied with what D'vorah is now they could use that idea for another character's design. Maybe DLC even. What do you guys think?

For the continuous damage thing, Dvorah has a variation that coats her body in poison when she attacks.

Kotal khan seems to have plenty of different statuses and buffs and debuffs too.

 

[CCVengeance]

Fuck yes they should.

 

[Saint Op Omen]

Considering the Tower and s.t.a.r. labs also had a lot of this happening also it seems like something they like to implement at least...maybe new fighters can be better used and given different feels with this sory of thing...

A version of Scorp also uses this right?

Is the new MKX feature:

":: Ex Specials should probably have unique abilities, trait-like injustice ::"

These an many others improcedente mechanic suggested by most of the members are in the game, this includes recovery animation of jump attacks:

take pokemon and diablo 3, add that shit to fighting game characters, add multiple ways off altering specials (controling projectile velocity, delaying moves, altering arcs, which could be done with a button to replace stance switch) add more trait like abilities that have cooldowns and such (like LoL), ...profit

sorry im really tired right now mang, when i get really tired i slilt my speech a bit or don't put a substantial amount of effort into conveying my ideas clearly.

basically give fighting game characters toxic (from pokemans), or even sandstorm or thunderstorm

make a necromancer cahracter who summons fucking skeletons and a golem for trait, or anything move from diablo 2 would be cool

let me do all sorts of shit rather than switch stances, nightwolfs arrow could be a skill shot with a trajectory that switch stance controls

traits are really powerful, why not have more than normal powerful specials balanced out by cooldowns, so we get more interesting moves, we could also add passive auras and shit like league with tradeoffs, why not throw all that shit into a 2d fighter and shoot buckets of cum

Then they should also add attacks accuracy determined by dice toss like in DnD
