just bring back Sektor.

Ok I agree with most of your (collective) points but I find myself disagreeing with 2 .I feel the krypt should at least stay the same size but with movies replacing the art( i.e instead of a picture of the old fatalities you'd get a movie).
Secondly i like the idea of robots and shokan etc. It seperates the game from reality which is a major advantage MK has over others.

I also feel compelled to add a charecter wish list:

Most Wanted Returns:
Sub-Zero
Scorpion
Kano
Kenshi
Reptile(evolved)
Kung Lao
(Shokan warrior)
Shang Stung(w/ morph)
Kitana

Would contribute well:
Cyrax
Quan Chi
Mavado
Raiden
Noob
Nightwolf
Smoke
Baraka
Shao Kahn
Dragon King(if independent)
(one of the dragon kings army soldier revived by Shang (COULD BE AN EX KARECTERS SOUL))
Sonya
Jax

Please dont:
Any other ninjas
Frost
(Most new MK4 charecters)
Drahmin(unless alot of effort)

No! God NOOOO:
MAKOP
Makop
makop(get the idea)
Cage
:Flame guy: can't even remember his name a MK first

Hso Hao
Ermac(awaits backlash)
Maloch
Bo Rai Cho(Unless and only if done well for comic relief)
LIU KANG - enough kung lao replaces his charecter well and is way cooler

-----
P.S Do not make Kano suffer he must stay as is. You tried with Jarek. Kano is perfect in every way

I say fuck the -alities(not fatalities) and friendships, we don't need all that bull shit clogging up the game...
and as far as the enormous amount of moves and combos, I think that would make the game too complicated, thats what I liked about the classic games: the simplicity...not that they should get rid of the fighting styles...but I think they should try to kinda mix the two systems a little better, plus every character should have some form of uppercut, roundhouse, and sweep

I wish they would kill off most of the clans in Mortal Kombat and add a new twist to the story...

well first they should consider bringin popular characters back such as sektor, baraka, n kabal...

keepin the same gameplay tactics would be good if they can fix the combo system where every hit actually connects...

the story should have reptile on his own with the outworld and earthrealm trying to fight over the right to get to the dragon king...

i think they should make their arenas a lil bigger, its annoying to have to run into a wall cuz on MKDA, if you got cornered, chances r, u gonna lose...

Jus my 2 cents

Slica - good thread to make M4C

after readin murdoink he has a good point, i say split up the special forces cuz they r startin to get dull...maybe have one get killed while the others split up to find the murderer...i think jax should die...cyrax and kenshi have enough to stay around n hold their own...plus i think the mavado vs. lin kuei story is decent long as mavado survives it...it would be awesome to have kabal return in that you-thought-u-killed-me-guess-again way to make a rivalry...barakas gotta be baq soon

Slica - baraka's concept has been made for MK6 BTW

What do I want in MK6? I'll try to be as specific as I can.

-More 'downed opponent getting up' animations.
-A rich story line and story mode.
-Customizable combos.
-Scorpion not to get screwed over like that again just to put him into the next game.
-Worthwhile Krypt items.
-Even better music.
-Just like MKDA, there should be no teleports or cheap moves.

All is good, except for the alities complaint...

Something is missing in the last replies... BRUTALITIES!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!

Ah and I like friendships aswell

The "create-a-character" by choosing to learn specific fighting styles would be really cool in Konquest mode, as already mentioned by someone, great idea dude! Of course, all the traditional fighters could already be there with their own fighting styles and such, like in MK: DA. Stage fatalities a must this time round and no barriers and fighting down flights of stairs and such in certain arena's would be really cool.

GAMEPLAY-

-Basically, keep the same fighting engine, but upgrade it a bit. Have the fighting styles be more identical to real life (while still keeping some element of fantasy; but less than they have in MK:DA). Make the fighting so realistic, that you can actually learn real life fighting tactics through playing the game (this would be a first for the fighting game genre).
-weapon drawing (actually keeps balance within the gameplay)
-make it possible to loose your weapon(s). This also adds a feeling of balance to the game--which is neccesary.
-more costomizable features
-more content (indefinitely)
-stage fatalities (please)

GRAPHICS-
-Torn/ripped clothing (this time around)
-more dramatic facial expressions
-sweat visibly glistening on the body, as the fight progresses
-muscle flexing (imagine how this would look in "Test Your Might."
-fottprints/trails in the sand or snow, and realistic water ripples on the ground, as the characters fight in different climates.
-clouds rolling by in realtime (appearing to move as they do in real life)
-visible environmental interaction. For instance, if a character is in a very windy environment, their hair and clothes will be blowing really fast and out of control. In a cold environment, the fighter will exhale frost, and in a dusty place, like a desert, dust particals may fall off of their clothes, depending on what happens in the fight...

You're a moron, thats seriously what you are. The graphics in MKDA were perfectly fine, DOA3 doesnt compare to mortal kombat, so why dont you just stop suckin off a fetus and go to hell.

wouldn't it be somewhat interesting if they made a krypt for mk6 that was only random select. Therefore, no one could manually pick. this would prolong someone's obsession to unlock all of the characters. however, as silly as this sounds, it might work if they took the time to make each coften somewhat meaningful rather than put in some ridiculous photo that no one really cares about.

starwinderbeta or whatever ur name is, they were wonderful ideas, they should get u to work for the mk team for all of these ideas!!!

theres 1 thing i would like to mention;
there shouldnt be such things as blocking swords with your arms, it looks totally gay, the oponent should dodge them by moving back or to the side, or mabe even throwing themselves on to the floor so they dont get hit by the sword, the character could also sway. the only blocking should be by a sword against a sword, and it shouldnt only be holding it against it, it should actually move wherever the attacking sword is moving towards!
this should apply for fireballs as well, it doesnt look really good by just putting ur arms infront of it... it should be forced to another side by the hands or could be dodged; the character could also sway to the side...

and 1 more thing;
i can clock the game on MAX setting really easily with 2 characters now, 1 is kung lao the other is shang tsung; im aiming at clocking the game with 5 more characters on max difficulty...
anywayz, the next MK should have a difficulty where as you get better the difficulty should automatically go higher! (unreal tournament style)

i hope ed boon and his team can come up with all of these listed great ideas!

if shang tsung is in the next game he should have a move like his soul steal move but when its done; he should be able to use the oponents fighting styles for 15 secs or something since he hasnt got his old move where he can morph into other characters....
and another thing online gameplay!
and the next mk should be in the arcades!!!! i see tekken tag, tekken4, soul calibur2 and i get jelous :(

ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING THAT HASNT BEEN MENTIONED...
there should be the old Mortal Kombat Games included with it, but to get them, they should be unlockable from the krypt and much expensive then the other krypts(eg. MK2 could cost; 10000green 6000red and 20000blue koins)
MK
MK2
MK3 -UMK3 and trilogy was basically the same thing but with extra stages and characters....
MK Gold -mk4 was basically the same but with less character which makes GOLD better :)
should be in it :)
boon you gotta make this happen buddy! :)

As I had mentioned some long time ago, Multi-tiered enviroments, and more fluidity.

-Shoe

i agree, the charcters should look as realistc as possible. a good example is virtua fighter 4 or tekken 4, the fighting, skin, hair, and clothes.

hey guyz as i think of more ideas i just post them up, so heres a few other things i would like to comment on;
*the blocking in MKDA is pretty good, but the next MK should have the hands going all around intead of up middle and down... also in mkda, if ur blocking and being attacked u slide backwards slowly, instead of that, characters should take backward footsteps fastly.
*in mkda to access my profile i have to put in my password, thats a good thing... but when u go to delete profiles, anyone can just delete them without even putting in my password... that should be fixed! passwords should also be changeable.
*when sub-zero sends an iceball or wateva it is to freeze you and ur in the air, u freeze in the air, it looks unrealistic, you guyz should think of another way around this thing! thats if he is in the next game!
*when players are stabbed by a sword or another weapon, they should be able to pull it out(they lose energy when they do that), and when the round ends the weapon shouldnt just disappear! they should pull it out!
*when kung-lao throws his hat, it looks so stupid when it appears back on his head or back, he should only have 3 hats, 1 on his head, two on his back, after they are thrown he wont be able to do his fatality but he can do his second... if there is 1 hat remaining at the end of the fight, he could also do the fatality with his hat...
*when fighters power up, some could rip open their chest, pull their sleeves up etc...
*test ur might could be in other places as well instead of 1 single closed up place... it could be at the beach on the sand and there could be some asian dudes watching ya...
*the very first stage in MK1 where shang tsung is sitting up somewhere and all these white dudes clap, that stage would look cool in 3D...
thats all for now :)

I would like to see MK6 have destroyable and interactable arenas, just like Tao Feng or DOA. More focus needs to be drawn to the fighting, it should play like Tekken or Virtual Fighter, with the special moves (projectiles, teleports, ect.) As good as Deadly Alliance is, it lacks the depth of fighters like Tekken. More fatalities per character, 2 to 3 would be great. Konquest mode should be diffrent, It was more along the lines of a training mode. Konquest mode should be like Tekken Force mode. Better unlockables from the Krypt. Clothes ripping and tearing, visible body damage. If they could do that, in my opinion, Mortal Kombat would sit on top of the compatition for a very long time to come.

i would say that they need more knokthem off levels like a tower or the blade arena where they get knoked in and cut to nothing

you know how mk1 2 and all have the same type of combo system press certain buttons and you do a kombo then in mk4 you can make your own kombo up because all the punches and kicks pretty much are seamless then all of a sudden in mk:da they went back to mk 1 2 and 3 kombo system in mk6 they should go back to the fighting style of 4 and change scorpions spear back to back back LP

You should be able to chain special moves to combos, like in MK4.

Also, have a custom combo system. Only attacks that would flow together smoothly could be chained. To get rid of button smashing, you would need to have special timing like for the ten strings in Tekken. So you can't just mash the buttons real fast.

You should be able to attack opponents when they are on the ground, like in Tekken, and VF.

You should be able to side step in the middle of a combo, it you are blocking, like in VF4.

There need to be close ups, and dynamic camera work when you connect with certain moves, or throws. Like in Tekken 4.

Most characters should have a parry like Forest law from Tekken Tag = < 1+2

You would do the parry by tapping + block, like in Soul Calibur, then press any attack button for up to 4 possible attacks.

Your opponent could only get out of this by doing a side step, or a parry of their own.

Some parries, could be combo starters.

If you got to do this back and forth a few times, it would look like a kung fu movie.


There should be submission holds, or locks. Like when you locked swords in Samurai Show down, you would both be struggling, and whoever smashes the buttons faster would win, and go into their own lock, or a throw.

There should be throw escapes, and throw reversals.

All the throws should be really fancy, like the ones in DOA3, T4, and VF4.

There should also be weapon throws, like in Soul Calibur.


When you are attacked near a wall, and you spray blood, the wall should be stained, like the floor, and blood should run down too.


This one is iffy, but how about no juggles. Keep it like in Street fighter 3, so no cheep juggles that take up to 90% of your life, like Kung Lao does in MKDA. You would only be able to connect with one hit, and that would be on a rare occasion.


Characters, would have awesome stand up animations, like in Devil May Cry 2.

You could also jump up to higher platforms, like in kung fu movies, when sometimes, a fighter will jump up on to the roof of a house.

You could also use the stage as a weapon, similar to power stone, but like for example. In Iron Monkey, there is a scene where the main bad guy, kicks some floor tiles on the ground, and they go flying towards the opponent.

You could even kick a chair to your opponent.

An automatic block animation would be like your character kicks the flying object, and destroys it.


Raiden's lightning should look like real lightning, and should shoot sparks, it if hits the wall.
He should also have his Superman move back, and it should go all the way across a stage, and if it slams you against a breakable wall, you should go through it, to the next room.

Raiden would be the only character to juggle, because he can move super fast. It would be like in the One, with Jet lee, when he is attacking the cops, and they are floating in the air.

ive come up with more ideas,

last night when i played DOA3 i realised that the Mortal Kombat Producers should all play it together to see how good the combo system is! the drunk guy, the girl that uses the snake style, and the others, they have so many combo's its unbelievable... im not complaining about mkda, just telling them that the next mk game should have a fighting system like that... also their hair and clothes were flowing the same way as the wind, they have so many reversal attacks, off wall attacks, back attacks...

robots and animals like reptile shouldnt be in the next game, it makes it look so unrealistic and cheap... the blood level is too much on maximum and not enough on normal, their should be a realtime option, and a max option after that for people who choose to play it with alot of blood...
have i mentioned juggling before? that definetly shouldnt be in the next game, its so cheap!
moloch is awesome as a sub-boss, he should have been harder though, and another creature like him should come out of those cages :) this should only happen when its on max level gameplay...
keep it realistic, there shouldnt be animalities, babealities or brutalities, they look stupid...
when you choose to play arcade as the bosses u play against quanchi and shang tsung, but if i was to choose an evil character that is on their side, at the end i should be fighting against raiden, bo rai cho or kung lao... :) makes more sense.
if you guyz wat to make the game with ring out, then whats going to happen with those stages with acid around it and fire around it? think about that...
also keep the stages in mkda and add more to them they are all wonderful!

I've posted this before but I'll post it again.
Hi everyone. I've been thinking alot about mk6 even before mkda was released. Hears my thoughts (I guess) for Mortal Kombat 6.

Arenas:
-When an opponent leans on something or touches something their should be some kinda of reaction on the object
-Mid-Evil/Gothic Feel
-Dark (lighting)/Freaky
-Use Background objects suck as tables, glass, chair, fire, ice, rocks, etc.....
-Details in the Areas (cracks, in rocks, fire, etc....)
-Different sounds on each individual step when walking or running
-The areans shouldn't be brand new they should look like they've been used (with holes and cracks and stuff)
-Being able to do backflips off of walls and smashing an opponent into a wall.... (a.k.a tekken 4)

Returning Characters: (Characters I'd like to see back with these moves also)

Gameplay:
-Mixed fighting styles that fits the characters with their origions
-More special moves per. character that fits the character
-Weapons I think should go bye bye.
-Reversals should be like they are in Tekken or DOA with a MK theme in the mix
-More to be added later......

Body System:
-Over course of fight fighters will face fatique, dizzyness, quicker breathing, and sweat.
-Broken Bones and sprangs.
-Cuts and Bruses all over the body
-Cutting off of limps (a.k.a=timekillers)
-When punching or kicking someone the object that was hit bends in (just think of a real fight)
-If one part of body is disabled (ex. broken arm) then whenever you try to push that button you will lose health because the person tryed to punch with a broken arm.
-Every person should have their own skeletal and own personal model

AI System:
-It should be fixed to were the AI actually learns your syle of fighting and makes you have to actually really think of how to beat the AI. No cheap stuff.....no constand one move stuff. Make like an actual martial arts type movie

Fighting:
-Desperation moves can be attempted if your really close to death
-Backflips, spring up recovery moves
-Before the fight they should do their fighting styles bow or greeting

Taking Parts from previous MK's to add to MK6:

Intro's:
-It should be a seperate CD explaining the whole story of how what happened in mk6 came to be.
-Go into very good detail
-Show how each fighter got to where they are now

Endings:
-Hope for FMV Endings or Text
-Should be true if possible

Finishers:
-Their should be different finishers for levels such as drowning, being smashed going down a cliff, spikes, electrocution, acid, fire, etc.....
-The characters finishers should be very violent, origional, and graphic

Some more stuff.....
-I actually would like to see a teaser of mk6 much like they did with the very first teaser of mk4.
-Make the game more like mortal kombat conquest or the movies if possible.

The players should have different personalities and different mouth gesters and stuff.

-I think characters should of 2 alternate costumes and 1 classic
Ex. Raiden mk2 outfit (classic)
-Training:
person vs. dummy
Dodge: (if a dogging button was included) then have something throw stuff at you and you try to doge all of the attacks.....
-object straight at you, from the side, from an angel, going upward, etc....
Resistence: have someone keep punching you and train yourself so the pain of the hit will gradually decrease

*Basicly with training you will be able to go higher in the tournament
ex. fight kano and you lose to him so to get past him and beat him you must get to a higher level of strength, speed, and agility.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Fake Baraka Story that I wrote

After the incident with Quan-Chi Baraka's Sould was given to non-other than Shang-Tsung. His soul was taken into Shang's body by force and was tortured like all the rest of the souls that kept Shang young. Then after many times of trying to get free an opportunity came when Baraka saw this light from inside Shang's body. Somehow Baraka knew to go to the light so he did and he found himself outside Shang's body. He saw that Shang was severely injured by Kano and saw all of Shang's sould flee his body. Their was this one soul that came out that surprised Baraka that soul was non-other than Liu-Kang.

A few minutes later after the incident Barakas soul was sent hurdiling in a tiny portal. Baraka was screaming until he opened his eyes and looked that his body was reincarnated and he had greater strength, agility, and deadlyness then ever before. He rose up and saw who he had to thank. It was the Dragon King.

The Dragon King told Baraka what had happened since the 4th Mortal Kombat tournament and how Shang and Quan formed a Deadly Alliance but were defeated. The Dragon King asked for Baraka to protect him until he had gotten his full strength back. In return the Dragon King promised powers that went far beyond those of Quan and Shang combined. Baraka agreed without hesitation because he somehow knew that the Dragon King could be trusted.

That's about it enjoy my "fake mk6 Baraka story.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More thoughts and opinions to be posted later.
Until then stay frosty. lol.

Hears more....
Mortal Kombat has lived up to its name in many ways. It seems that the women in fighting games now are just for show and nothing to special with them except for their chest and outfit.
This should change. Females should have a more important role in mortal kombat. Its not the clothes and huge breasts that makes the women its their fighting and personality. Women need to be treated more like men in videogames (meaning have more of a crucial plot in the story). I think the breasts and the skimpy clothes are a turn on but women shouldn't just be objects of mens desire.

More for MK6:
-I also think the areans should have full details like show real bricks not just something pasted on.
-Opponents should hit the walls and if the hit is hard enough it should make a crack or more.....
-More female characters
-More origionality
-Also an option to were you can make the blood and cuts and brusing like how it would be in a real fight
-Maybe some more screaming in the backgrounds
-NO more reptile devolving please
-A more disturbing plot and game (not troublesome but just freaky)
-Much more advance blocking system and doggin system if possible
-You know not all male characters shouldn't be muslce freaks some should also be thin if possbile and when you thin your faster
-Blood should also be able to stain close and stain the walls as well
-Also to be able to fight in the whole arena
-Put in the levels that couldn't make it into mkda if possbile
-MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL "TAKE YOUR TIME WITH MK6"
More to come.....
