I would like to see Character introductions before each fight starts. bascially this would replace the static verse screen. I would like to Each fighter make his/her way to the arena.

Two ways that it could be done:

1. We see a hall (or some other location) full of all 24 characters. A cloaked figure then approaches and opens a scroll and says for example "Kabal verses subzero" Then from the crowd of fighters Kabal and subzero look at each other nod and follow the monk out of the hall. We then see them enter the arena and the fighter begins.

2. Another way could be a bit more showy, as each fighter performs special moves or kartas and then enters the arena.
