What if you could flow from your 1st style to the 2nd and back? What if you could go from you 2nd back to first, then to your weapon? what if you do this and do it in more ways than one?

This is the premise that I started with to try and think of a way to add even more depth to the gameplay of MK:DA. I loved the way the style flowed together in DA but I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, I want more than just one way to combine the them. One way, the only way I've thought up so far, that this could work is by making the weapon stance accessable not through a simple button press, but in a way more like MK4(Ex. d,b+4). The SC button would be used to toggle between 1st and 2nd stances as normal, but some pre-set combos could flow freely beween the two. If this were to happen it would open up possibilies for other Style combinations.

Ex. Kung Lao: Mantis->shoalin->mantis or shaolin->mantis->shoalin. mantis->shaolin->broadsward(old-school), shoalin->mantis->broadsword.

With the amount of combos MK:DA already has, coupled with this, the amount of moves would double.

Another idea.

I read somewhere, or maybe its those damn voices in my head again, that they were going to try and implement the "pick-up-weapons" idea for MK6. It's a stretch, but imagine picking up a weapon with its own basic set of moves, combos and specials(power-ups, tauts, etc.) and starting a combo. You could do the use the weapons pre-set moves or opt to drop the weapon in mid combo and continue the assault with a character specific combo.

The possiblities would be endless.
