sub7th can come up with an entire novel of styles, which is excellent...
so ive decided to add some styles that would be nice to have in the next mk, that is if they keep the style system.

Sumo
A japenese form of wrestling.
These wrestlers wrestle in a ring and the objective is to get your opponent out of the circular ring

Vale tudo
Kinda like shoot fighting, for those of you who have played tekken 4, marduk is the guy im talking about...also vale tudo has been featured in some UFC competitions

Lau Gar
Chinese style of kickboxing. The moves in this style incorporate that of karate and kung fu.
A famous UK fighter that studied lau gar...Pele Reid

Pankration
One of the oldest forms of wrestling and used extensively by the greeks. Not only did pankration consists of suplexes, slams and submissions, but also focused on striking with both foot and hand. over time pankration become somewhat more wrestling orientated, but it is still somewhat pugilistic.

Monkey style kung fu
The name says it all, a kung fu style based on the movements of a monkey....
there are 5 variations of the monkey style, each one different.

White eyebrow kung fu (Pak Mei)
although an unusual name, white eyebrow also known as, Pak Mei is a very aggressive style that hasnt had mention in MKDA.
This style fuses both shaolin and taoist practices together. Its also both an internal and external system.
Techniques are executed between short and mid-range distances; hand movements are fast and powerful. Pak Mei also contains a wide assortment of kicks including: side, front, jumping , and ground fighting maneuvers.

Choy Lee Fut
Choy Lee Fut is one of the most widely practised kung fu styles within Asia today. It is well known for it's speed and power, it's smooth circular body movements and its flexible footwork. It combines the powerful hand techniques characteristic of the southern kung fu styles with the versatile kicks of the northern system. It emphasises the intelligent use of strength and the combination of the external force with the internal will.

Capoeira
A Brazilian Martial Art, Capoeira was born in the "senzalas", the places where the slaves were kept. It consists of a stylized dance, practiced in a circle called the "roda", with sound background provided by percussion instruments, like the "agogo", the "atabaqui", etc. It incorporates "maculele", done with blades, and "maracatu", done with sticks. Highly acrobatic, energetic and difficult to master.

I'll post more descriptions later...heres what id like improved for styles already in MKDA:

Judo
more throws, after all it is throw-based. sacrificial throws etc, with less strikes.

Eagle Claw
more acrobatic flips, front handsprings, back handsprings, heck even handstands!
Visually, eagle claw is beautiful to watch.

Shotokan
More karate style punches. when i used to do shotokan, a great deal of 'chudans' and 'jodans' were practised.

Aikido
More movement, no attacks, more throws.

Jujitsu & Hapkido
Joint locks to be added, especially Jujitsu.
If anyone here has seen gracie jujitsu in action, you'll see that strikes are minimal compared to joint locks and submissive holds.

once again i'll post more later.
Here are some other attacks that havent made it into mk:

Jumping spinning crescent kick
Dropkick
tap tap kicks (keeping the leg in the air and throwing out 3 or 4 kicks, think scorpion combo mktrilogy)
hook kicks
reverse roundhouse kicks
spinning hook kick

mostly spinning kicks have been taken out of mkda, there are a few, but not all kinds.

lol. How about these styles?:

Vajramushti: an ancient Indian martial art that dates back to 1000 B.C.E. It influenced the creation of Kalaprayat, another Indian martial art, one that was used in the creation of Shaolin Fist. Vajramushti mainly consists of strikes.

Lin Kuei: The original Chinese Ninjitsu. I have read that it dates back to 3000 B.C.E. (I'm not too sure on that but I will have to do a lot more research on this clan and their history. It's very hard to do such but there is one book that I know of that can help me find those answers.)

San Shou: We've seen it in MK: DA. A fighting style that Kenshi uses. It consists of punches, kicks, and grappling/submission techniques. It's kind of like a Chinese kickboxing style.

Ku Bujinkan Ninjitsu Ryu: 9 Bujinkan Ninjitsu schools that consist of Gyokko Ryu, Koto Ryu, etc.

Lung Ying Kuen: Dragon style of Ha Say Fu style Hung Gar (there is also Crane, Panther, etc.)

Wushu: Chinese martial art. very flexible

Chin-Na: Chinese martial art that uses locking moves. It's incorporated into Jeet Kune Do.

Savate: French Kickboxing style

Hop Gar: (No, it doesn't involve hopping!!) It is like a Lion style of Kung Fu.

Those are some good styles sub.
Have you heard of Gatka?

I suppose the real issue with having these extra styles in the game would be research.

Your right about san shou having grappling techniques, i was watching a programme on tv about some guy who practised san shou, and he was training for a competition

Gatka
A martial art of the punjab, India.
This style has a unique method of spinning and swirling and swinging to generate power with large weapons. Any weapon long and large can be controlled after studying the techniques in Gatka.
Gatka has been used in real life Indian wars, and to good effect, as the warriors who knew Gatka, often became victorious

What about Silat? It's an Indonesian style that seems interesting, although I've had difficulty finding much info on it.

no probs man.

As for silat, he is talking about pencak silat.
I saw a demonstration on tv once about silat, and it was awesome.
It has unique charecteristics, and the practitioners train very hard.
they use tactics like standing on your leg whilst delivering a backfist. if you get the chance to watch it, do so, its brilliant.

anyone heard of vovinam?
im looking for some information about this style

The firts few are OK but the whip and the fencing sword are kind of useless for combat. The fencing sword is too nible and would easily be bent or broken in comabt. The Whip would be too slow to wield properly and there arnt a lot of move options.

You make a very good point. Mk4 was their first attempt to make a 3d fighting game. MKDA i thought was good, but i felt there should be more attacks in most of the styles. Certain characters, you barly had anything to work with.

As with Verstale, those are nice weapons.

How about
Scimtar
Morning star

The mace thought, keep in mind that can come with spikes or just a ball( same with the morning star).
The fencing sword and great axe would be sick in mortal kombat. I play soul caliber 2, and use both characters that have those weapons. The great axe you could barely keep away from. As with the fencing sword you would hit them before they could do anything.

I agree with what some of you said about judo, aikido and the other 'soft' styles. Aikido in particular shouldn't have any strikes, just reversals, grabs and throws, and to my knowledge, judo is pretty similar. To be honest I think these styles were horribly implemented in MKDA. Some styles could easily be indentified - Crane, Snake and Karate for instance - but styles like judo and aikido seemed to have nothing in common with their real-life counterparts. I hope this aspect gets worked on more in MK6, as I think the homogeneity of all the fighting styles in MKDA was pretty disappointing.
