Personally, the ones I've thought about were Sheeva and Kai
I think Sheeva should use the fighting styles:
Musti Yudha - because it emphasizes ONLY punching, no kicks, because it's very deadly, and because it's Indian in origin
Sarit-Sarak - because it's, again, of Indian origin, and because its creation supposedly is due to the gods
WEAPON - juttes - they look like a sai that has two-prongs instead of three, its thin and sharp and i think it would look cool with one in each of her four arms
I think Kai should use these fighting styles:
Capoeira - because Kai looks darker-skinned, and Capoeira originated in Africa (or Jamaica, i can't remember), and Kai (in MK4) had handstand moves, and Capoeira looks similar to the agility required to do a handstand
Lost Monkey - its a Chinese style, and Kai is supposed to be a Shaolin, it also required great agility and has a lot of leaps and bounds, it think it would be good for Kia
WEAPON - Manrika-Kusari - basically a chain with weights on the end, I think that Kai would have a weapon that required swinging (I would have gone nunchaku...but that was already taken by Liu Kang and Johnny Cage)
What do you think?
What fighting styles should characters that haven't had fighting and weapon styles of their own have?

Umm, Sheeva at least: ashe must have one fictional style since he's a shokan. I just liked the oni and netherreaqlm style ideas. And also I think there was a style named Sho Gan Pa in chinese, but it is probably a misinterpretation of mine.
Sarit Sarak was not originated in India, pardon, not in the Indian country as we know it. It came from the borders of Nagaland and the current Pakista-ni borders. But we can say it comes from inida, yes.
P.s. I may be wrong about Sarit Sarak

Stryker
Sambo, because its a great fighting style used by Cyrax in DA and I cant believe it wasnt included in Deception.
Savate, I hear its similar to Karate and Tae Kwon Do with kicking techniques. Maybe it would suit him.
For his weapon, well it would have to be the baton wouldnt it. The police baton, a club type weapon.

I think Dux Ryu is a psuedo martial art, because from what I heard, Frank Dux is a fraud.
Anyway, here are some of my ideas:
Reiko
Togakure Ryu Ninpo Taijutsu
Shindenfudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu
Kai
Capoeira
Shaolin Monkey Fist
Rain
Sulsa Do (I'm not completely sure on if there is an actual fighting style of this...if not, then I'd say Hwarangdo)
Tang Soo Do
Short Axe
Shao Kahn
Pankration
War Hammer
Fujin
Wind Fist
Kyujutsu
Stryker
Isshin Ryu
Shito Ryu
Baton/Nightstick

deadly cobra, i am not sure how internal styles would look like in mk... i know that dim mak is really mystical and all, and i have a fair knowledge about it, but i do not think that it should be given to any character... Esp since dim mak is not really a style by itself but more of an addition or add-on to what someone already knows. If kenshi was given taichi AND dim mak, then no one could say anythin, cos dim mak is an extrapolation of the former. Same with fong ngan, or phoenix eye, which i stress is not a style by itself, just a fist stance. Again, it cannot be used by itself, but is a derivative, or an addition. If Dairou had wing chun AND phoenix eye, no one could say anythin cos wing chun incorporates phoenix eye. You cannot pair karate with dim mak, cos of their conflicting natures. i hope you get what i am saying.

Hmmm i dont really know any proper fighting style, but they made up some styles before...well I think they're made up. Like Netherrealm and Oni.
Sheeva. I think she should have a made up style called Tetra Fist....cause she has four hands.
I also think Fujin should have a style called Hurricane cause he's the god of wind. It could be all about swift movements.
Blaze should get Flaming Fists too.

Havik: dim mak chao quan instead of snake /
Shujinko: pak mei white eyebrow/ copy the opponents 1. or 2. style
Stryker: Savate/ Goshindo (altough I'm strongly against Stryker in any MK)
Sheeva: Shirana vajramauthi/ Wrestling
Baraka: Silat/ Baranta
more will come. In the meantime check the Various martial arts thread. it's going pretty well...(self-advertisement)

Okay,Frank Dux's Dux Ryu is extremely effective.It is taught to Japanese riot control.It isn't ninjitsu but it is very effective streetfighting.As for mindripper,Fong Ngan IS an actual art.I posted info on it in Chrome's martial arts thread. AND Dim Mak is considered to be a martial art.It can be on its own or it can be incorporated into other martial arts.

I think Kai must be suited with two well known Fighting Styles.
The russian Sambo, the one that cyrax had in DA, i think it would perfectly suit him as the technique is quite known as a really aggressive technique, Kai is a character that looks very agile, so i think it might suit him. The other one i suggest for Kai wqould obviously be capoeira, he's got the looks of a brazilian tribesman, it would perfectly fit him and that techiniques haven't been used before, Capoeira would be a nice technique for the next MK isntallment.
Maybe if Fujin returns he would have some other Kung Fu styles such as crane or a well used monkey, or even a new style that would fit a god, named "Elder" or something like that.

Well I don't know who to give these styles, but I'll still say what styles I want in the game.
Wado-ryu(a form of karate, it relies on evasive manouveurs and counter attacks and also using the opponents strength to your advantage)
Some better style of Ninjutsu/Ninpo
SURUJIN or KUSARIGAMA(write it in Google to see) wink

As i said, i do phoenix eye, although not on an advanced level as yet. I can tell you right now that fong ngan is a direct chinese-cantonese translation of phoenix eye. While phoenix eye is regarded to be a form of kung fu or martial art, it does not stand on its own. It is all about how to condition and strike effectively using a single knuckle. There are katas but no sparring. Dim mak is considered a martial art as well. It is called "dian hseuh" by chinese practitioners, cos that is a translation as well. If you read deeper into it, you will realise that dim mak CAN be used on its own, a fact which can be derived using common sense with respect to the deadly nature of the art, but also understand that dim mak was an extrapolation of taichi, and meant to be INCORPORATED into another martial art. You can use phoenix eye or tiger claw with dim mak, or even the dim mak claw to execute dim mak, but dim mak requires prior martial art knowledge for optimum usage. The same applies for forms of martial art like irom palm. Tauget independantly. Can be used together with other styles that compliment it. Compliments some styles in that it facilitates fish blocking. But iron palm also requires prior knowledge. The point is that styles such as these obviously can be used by themselves due to their deadly nature, but they do not cover the entire scope, such as footwork, balance and such, which a complete art like wing chun would, and so they generally are complements, not styles on their own.
