Mortal Kombat.

I don't want one perfect game, because then I won't have a variety.

I love Soulcalibur, I love Mortal Kombat, I love Super Smash Bros. I would never want to give them all up for one perfect fighting series.

I'd take MK with the level of content that SSBB has.

We are getting there thankfully.

I think i feel what you're saying.

A hyper-realistic, severely brutal fighting game. No teleports, no fireballs just visceral bone on sinew.

I can definitely dig it.

I wouldnt mind it in 2d but if someone could make it work in a 3d enviroment such as the UFC games or Fight night games, then that would really be excellent.

Can you imagine a 3d hyper-realistic, no holds barred fighting game made in the vein of a sports combat game but with Netherealm putting their spin on it?

I would definitely want death in the game. As well as, Broken bones, realistic cuts and bruises on faces. I definitely do not want to see much of a ground game, although im sure its possible to implement something to represent the Jitsu/Judo crews. Clearly Im more of a boxing fan than mma.

Make the gameplay function like that of a real high level fight by making the distance factor in fighting matter, and counter punching/striking very important. it could work if a competent feint system was in place. Would prevent button mashers. And imagine all the different styles that could be involved. Jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, judo, MMA so on and so forth. How has this type of game not been made yet?

Damn, the more I think about it, the more I want to play it.

How about a video game sequel to Enter the Dragon with Netherealm building it?

Edit: yeah i think i went off on a tangent, but I think your idea would totally rock by keeping the insane combos and making it slightly unrealistic and arcady. I love arcady. But I still would love to see hyper-realistic game with death in it such as knocking a bad guy off of a platform to his death ala The Pit. The crazy ideas keep on coming!!!! Imagine this, two people fighting in a squared platform in the middle of the ocean with very rich people circling them in their boats, throwing chum in the water, betting on the fight...eh eh...you know what im getting at! mix jaws and mk. its one of the reasons why cyraxs animality is awesome. ugh another long post. sorry
