if they give everyone their special moves back from previous games like they said, then Nightwolf should be able to do that

No cause the impact would still hurt ou...you cant hit back an ice ball, arrow, sparkle, spear, purple whatever Sindel had and the green stuff Ermac had ect....whatever anyone elses projectiles are.

So what about knocking them away in weapon mode or a 2 or 3 button tap instead of just blocking and taking mild damage. I think it would add an extra appeal to the game. Of course it wouldn't make it in Deception, but maybe a future thought?

It would be cooler if you could parry projectiles with a weapon.

Except for Subbys ice ball, of course.

I think the characters are getting too big for that... Maybe if there was a zoom similar to Killer Instinct that would work, but I don't think there is enough room between the characters to incorporate such a move.
