5. More moves and fatalities: We all heard people argue about if DA should have had more fatalities and moves. Some said that if gameplay suffered it was worth the sacrafice. We can assume they will build off the DA fighting engine (for better or worse?) so they should time to add more moves. Every character should have at least 6 moves (and not all -or any- have to be projectiles) and at least 2 fatalities, and I would not mind friendships.
4. Characters: Bring back old, have many new. But I am not just saying have a lot of characters (but I do want a lot of characters too) but have them well thought out and with multiple costumes. Also have a clear defined reason for every non secret character to be in the game. Also more more more secret characters. Someone else suggested -in another post- that a hidden character could burst out of a statue and I love this idea. I have also made vocal that I would like a Street Fighter'esc hidden boss, and fighting that boss would be the only way to get good endings (were your characters don't get killed by their enimies in their OWN ending) and said secret boss may be Kahn.
3. Little extras that make a big difference: another active thread right now is about the tearing of clothes which I think is an important feature. Also, as RedScorpio mentioned, bruises on characters. Clothes getting blood stained and / or wet is something else I would like to see. Another test your game would be a good addition. I would also put some cheats (similar to MKT) in this one: I would love a level selecter, amoung other things. I will also nitpick about MKDA's graphics here. They need to be better. What I mean by that is more fluid charater movements, the holding of weapons (you know the problem were all of a sudden the handle is on top of there hand not behind), and much more.
Also extras like many different ways of falling down and getting up, as well as every character having a unique winning pose.
2. Levels: So much needs to be done. I will start with design. The levels don't need to be round. The levels should be different shapes and sizes depending on the level. The level should not have barriors -unless they can make those barriors actual objects like walls, the level should not always be flat -I want to fight an opponent on a stair chase or maybe on a hill. I feel like when MK developers talk about more interactive enviroments they are talking more about adding stuff to grab or things to deal damage (not that those are bad) when they should focus more on having levels that are not all flat and round. Not all levels should have things to damage you but some should. There should be at least 3 levels with a stage fatality.
I also want to talk about the style and names of the levels. Someone in another post mentioned that all the levels have an asian-like style. I agree with him. And while that is not nessecarily a bad thing, not all levels should have the same theme. I do want all the levels to be a bit darker, of course depending on if they are inside or outside. And lets get back to simple but kool names like: living forsest, goro's lair, etc.
Outdoor arenas should have times of the day. The same arena should be designed to have a sun set, sun rise, night, and day mode. That would be kool, too. And finally there should be many levels, at least 20 well thought out, different, levels.
1. Gameplay: of course to many of us gameplay is very important cause if it is not fun to play, then whats the point of playing?
This is a hard area for the MK Dev team cause they will never make all of us happy. And also IMO, if I asked people on these boards what they thought of DA's gameplay, I would get mixed responses. I think we all can argree it could be made better. My addition to DA would be this:
-A more realistic (maybe that is not the right word?...) blocking system. I would have a block system that allows you to really block punches or kicks, and all physical attacks (not projectile). I am not sure exactly how it would work but basicly you could block attacks but another character might be faster and land the punch before you block it.
-This leads me to the next enhancment: dodging. Not like in MK4, a system were you can dodge an attack without moving your feet. By leaning your body in different directions. This would also include throwing puches and kicks in certain directions making for hard to block attacks, amoung other things.
-Counters: I am not sure how they should make it happen but good counters for every character would be good. It could lead into a grapple, of sorts, or a throw.
-More realistic wait time after moves: sometimes you do a move that you recover from too quickly. Many other times you are stuck in a simple move like a punch for far to long (I am talking about in DA) This needs to be addressed.
-A custom combo system were if you time it right you can string together any moves.
-Much more to come....


OK there goes. Sorry it was so long. Now what do you guys think and what would be your top 5, or 10, etc?
BTW this is all asuming the games is based off MKDA's fighting engine.
