Nah. I'd prefer the ability to do a quick dash forward, in a fashion similar to the MKDA back-dash.

That could be assigned foward foward and then get rid of the run idea good Idea.

i was gonna post a running thread at some point, ya beat me to it.

there are times in DA when i wish you could run, but that was because it was pretty tough manuvering around the stages...i think with the increased speed in Deception, running isnt so neccessary. However, the double tap left or right for a little dash would be cool

I loved the run button in MK3, since I think it added defensive, which I think it was great and added a since of suprise. One of the few things I didn't like about MK: DA that it was too slow attack wise. I would like to see the run button return.

Just to be devil's advocate to those favoring the "tap forward" approach: A lot of moves begin by tapping f,f. Wouldn't the character go into the running animation a split second before performing the special move? I'm not sure how to go about it myself, but I definitely agree that MKD will need some kind of running feature.

i rather have the run button then have 2 fighting techniques and i really dont care for the weapons there to HUGE jesus.

If added.. I would make tapping the button make you "dash" or perform a larger motion forward. If you are far away from your opponent.. you will start the sequence as normal only holding the button will further allow you to start running from the "dash."
