I know it sounds out there but, what if they had the time to come out with 2 different kind of outputs with some different charactors making it in each different game. Like 2 games mk6:hell on earth and mk6:peace and quiet. Basically 2 different winners of the previous MK, which would be mk:da and branching the game into 2 different directions.
Maybe leaving scorpion and sub zero out on mk7 but having them in mk6 or one of them dies in mk6 and the other in mk7 but they would be keep on 0n the other branch because everyone likes sub and scorpion. (Just using them as examples)
Per say lui kang comes back in mk7 in one of the different branched journeys some how some way or whatever. I hope someone gets my drift, basically they could rely on 2 different ways of the game to go in 2 different directions, and learn the reactins on both, but obviously they dont have time to do ALL that...figured it would be a good idea tho?
