hmm, not sure what to add?

Sub Zero could use some more ice moves
Kano could use some more Knife moves
Id remove ALL of Cyber Sub Zero's Cyrax moves

Remove Kung Lao's spin.

ahh, I liked that one lol it does get annoying after a while

kano needs to use his eye laser
quan chi could use some sword moves
reptile needs more combos on his list
kitana should teleport like in her x ray

Sektor:
-Ground Missile. using the green coded teleport technology to appear under the opponent for a popup. Could also be adjusted like the upmissiles. EX would have to work similar to scorpions hellfire, perhaps just an explosion out of his chest into the ground much like the end of the 1,2,2 string. Or maybe just the flamethrower into the ground.

Scorpion:
-Air spear. Enough said. hit them, they hit the ground, dragged to scorpion for a free hit.

Subzero:
-interaction with the ice clone. Say you lay down a clone. hitting the ice clone should launch it towards the opponent, or grabbing it, he would grab it and whip it towards them, maybe to the air for AA.

Sonya:
-Bicycle Kick. Shoulda had it all along

Sindel:
-A new air control scheme. Much like mvc3, free movement using stick or pad instead of dashes that do nothing.

Jarek:

If anybody gets hit by Kung's spin. its because they jumped in carelessly, don't know the 2,3 mixup, or used a move unsafely. Either way, Onus is usually on the receiving end. I rarely see it hit during pro matches because people know better. Respect it and you likely wont be hit by it. Hes not OP or broken. Easier to chain hard tactics with, alot easier. But not anythign that cannot be beaten. Digimon just beat a Kung Lao in a pro tourney scene today on a char auction match with Sheeva. Why? because he respected the moves and worked around them. With a chunk of luck on the last tele-stomp. hahaha

Kano:
- Eye laser

Sub Zero:
- Ice Parry (if Cyber Sub-Zero wasn't in I would give him it)
- Maybe an Ice spike that comes from the ground? Make it something like Shang's ground fire balls. Set up for a juggle
- Air throw (A defensive character should always have an air throw)

Sonya:
- Bicycle Kick

Scorpion:
- AA Spear (maybe it doesn't set up for a free hit but it does deal damage and bring the opponent close. Or maybe like sheeva's stomp where you can control where they land if enhanced.)

Sektor:
- Triple Air Missle (Works like Shang's Triple ground fire balls except well... From the air. I would say like Shang's Triple air fire balls but I am currently forgetful of whether he has them or not.)
- Enhanced Fire should torch and then teleport.

Kenshi:
- I would like to see a TK pull move. It would sort of work like the spear except maybe just pull in the opponent and not stun them unless enhanced. I would probably need to see it to decide if I like this one or not

Stryker:
- The Taser would add to his zoning game (even though it is already good). maybe the enhanced taser could pull them in since tasers have little hooks).

That's all I've got for now.

Add Kano's eye laser from MKvsDC

Remove Sonya's arc kick and dive kick and replace them with her bike kicks and air bike kicks

I would make Sindel's flight more similar to flights in MvC3

ADD: Kano's Eye Laser

REPLACE: Sub-Zero's Ground Freeze(too slow)

SONYA'S
FUCKING-AMAZING
BICYCLE KICKS!!!!!
(UPWARDS and DOWNWARDS)

They are iconic.
They have been a trademark move of hers since MK3.
They were glorious and more distinctive in MKvsDC (up and down).
They were heavily-nodded in this game (Babality, X-Ray).
They should have never been removed/replaced in the first place. I don't care how awesome her Arc Kick is. No move should have replaced those.

One of my biggest MK disappointments....ever.

Not to be a spoil sport, but it's only her upwards bicycle kick that is iconic and had since MK3... The downward one was added in MKvsDCU. But other than that, yeah, I agree, Sonya should've had them in this game. Her Dive Kick is rather lame compared to them.

I'd also like to add Jade's Vanishing Winds teleport move.

Give Ermac the Dive kick he had in MK Deception.

Remove Kung-Lao's Ground Hat, he really doesnt need it.

Give Sub-Zero his Ice Shower back like in MK3.

Give Liu Kang his Chicken Yells during his Bicycle Kicks.

thats all i got for now.

^^ took the words right from my mouth, regarding Jade atleast but i agree with what everyone is saying about Sonya's bicycle kick and kano's eye laser.

I know there are a lot of teleport moves this time around but Jade could greatly use her old teleport move, I feel that would at least kind of balance her out more .

(Just for all you people saying stuff about Subby's ground freeze, his EX ground freeze reaches full-screen and is unblockable. Try throwing it in once or twice against a turtling opponent)

Replace Cyber Sub-Zero's Cyrax teleport with his MK vs. DCU tombstone teleport. (this teleport is used in Cyber Subby's tag out animation)

Modify Cyber Sub's Medium Range Ice Bomb to D, F, 3. Instead of F, F, 3. It really kills his pressure game because he can't use his 3, 3, 2 mixup combo after a forward dash.

Modify Sub-Zero's Ground Freeze to have less startup frames. (Just so it wouldn't be so useless vs. a simple throw)
Modify Sub-Zero's EX Ground Freeze to have as many startup frames as an EX Ice Ball.

Modify Quan Chi's Teleport Stomp to be have the same on-hit animation as his EX Teleport Stomp, but have no damage difference to his current un-EX'ed Tele-Stomp. And Modify his EX Tele-Stomp on-hit animation to have the same stomping animation as his MK: Armageddon Teleport Stomp.

(So his Tele-Stomp won't be as lame in comparison to his Tele-Stomp in MK4 and MK:A)

Give Baraka a low hit variant of his projectile.

Replace Shang Tsung's Enhanced Soul Steal with the ability to morph into his opponent like sub-boss Shang. Requires a bar of super meter to perform, Shang stays morphed for 15 seconds and gains a 1% attack damage boost.

(For all you people complaining about KL's spin)
Modify Kung Lao's Spin move to not hit if crouching and to be as unsafe on block as Baraka's Spin.

Does Kano really need another projectile attack?

Knife Throw
Cannonball
Eye Lazer

They all do the same thing

I would however like him to use the eye lazer in a Fatality ala MK3

Mileena:
(Mad Dance)

Mleena slips through the floor similar to the way she does in her teleport kick. However she merely appears behind the opponent. Could be used to catch the oppponent off guard who's expecting a teleport kick.

Enhanced version (Psycho Dance) is armoured whilst she's teleporting and re-appearing.

Kitana:
(Pixie Dust Teleport)

Similar to her previous teleport, but with a quicker teleport animation (one spin then teleport) and the ability to do the move in the air.

The enhanced version (Deadly Dust) follows through with an upwards version of her classic fan swipe from MK2. Does 9% damage.

Jade:
(Dodging Shadows)

Jade quicky twirls her staff in a clockwise manner as she dissapears in a burst of green smoke before re-appearing behind her opponent.

The enhanced version (Green Rush) is armoured in it's initial animation and functions similar to her Shadow Glow as projectiles can phase through her as she teleports.


Scorpion:
(Doom Chain)

Scorpion ducks whilst spinning his chains forward in a double circular clockwise motion, functioning as a whipping action that works as a popup if the opponent is grounded or an anti-air if the opponent is jumping. Does 8% damage.

The enhanced version (Death Chains) lights the chains on fire, is slightly quicker and strikes another two times but with slightly slower recovery. Does 12% damage.

Sub-Zero:
(Cold Spike)

A pop up attack where an icicle errupts from beneath the opponent and knocks them into the air, can be blocked from a crouch block. Functions *slightly* quicker than the ice ball move but can be dodged with a well timed jump. Does 6% damage.

Enhanced version (Frosty Pain) summons a further two frozen stalagmites that function similar to Shang Tsung's enhanced upwards fireball and does 10% damage.

Reptile:
(Acerbic Tongue)

Reptile launches his tonge at his enemy and slams them behind him. Functions similar to Sindel's Hair Whip. Does 7% damage.

Enhanced version (Lizards Lunch) slams the opponent back and forth before pulling them in and drop kicking them in the chest. Does 11% damage.

Sindel:
(Echo)

Sindel manipulates sound waves with a scream that launches fireballs back towards her opponent from a sweep distance. Functions similar to Nightwols fireball repel but the projectile doesn't need to hit Sindel to be fired back at the enemy. The damage is always -2% of the damage from the initial fireball launched at her (e.g 6% if it sends back Jade's Boomerang). Doesn't work on Scorpion's spear, Sub-Zero's iceball, or other projectiles that cause a free hit.

Enhanced version (Hush) sends the fireball back along with a lower Starscream fireball. Does the same damage as the initial projectile with a further 5% added on (e.g 13% if it's Jade's Boomerang)

I think Mileena could use a parry move where she turns into pink energy or sth and hits the opponent from behind. She is more of an aggressive character, so a more defensive special move would be more than welcome!

How could I have forgotten this?!? I was trying to think of this move when making the list I had posted but couldn't think of it.

It should be in with all variations (distances) of it.

Smoke:
(Cough Drop)

Smoke becomes living smoke for 3 seconds as he stays on the spot, similar to his shake move. If he is hit by a melee attack, he pulls the opponent through the floor before re-appearing from the sky with them and launching them into the floor by performing a somersault kick off them. Does 9% damage.

Enhanced version (Black Lung) gives Smoke a further 2 seconds in his smokey state. Throughout this period melee attacks cannot hurt Smoke, and he is slightly armoured against Projectiles. If attacked he pulls the enemy through the floor, reforms in the air with them, then slams them into the floor with a spinning piledriver. Does 13% damage.

(Smokeycut)

His trademark smokey teleport uppercut. Functions similar to Sektor's teleport punch. Does 6% damage.

His enhanced version (Smokeykicks) replaces the uppercut with an ariel double kick (think of the kick Reptile lands on Liu Kang after knocking him through the wall in the MK Movie). Move hits medium then high. Causes 12% damage and has knockdown effect.

OH MY GOD!!!

It was necessary...

I would have taken away Cyber Sub-Zero's teleport and ice parry move and add them to Sub-Zero. I loved his move-set in MKvsDC, not sure why they changed it, even the ice nugget had its moments.

1. Sonya's Bicycle kicks, they're iconic and visually impressive, I never get tired of seeing them, the arc kick's cool, but it does not compare with those amazing bicycle kicks.


2. Sub-Zero's ice shower, yes please one of his great moves from MK3.


3. Kabal's nomad touch, that's a trolling move and everyone hates it, but I loved it.

4. Johnny Cage having the shadow uppercut as a nonenhanced move instead of the flip, I don't like that you have to use meter to see his iconic move.


5. Kano's eye laser

Noob's black hole:
Instead of it coming down from above it should come from the ground (similar to his fatality). its really hard to use it successful against good players, bc its 2slow so they see it coming. the only way i have seen good player use it is in a combo by pushing them in the black hole or having them stuck in the corner.

sub0's ground freeze:
is 2slow, needs 2be faster.

Cyborgsub0's:
ice bomb's should be replaced with ice shower's
ice shower (above)
ice shower (behind)
ice shower (in-front)

smoke's invincibility:
i never see pp use this... i think this needs 2be replaced, it should also help to make smoke's game-play less repetitive.

Sonya's dive kicks:
replace them with her bike kicks and air bike kicks

and baraka's move-list in general needs to be tweaked.

Kitana:

Remove that absolutely lame, uncreative and boring "new move" she got (what the hell does that even do?) and give her an actual new special move to appreciate.

It's about freaking time they gave her impressive new fan attacks just like they love to do with Kung lao's hat. I enjoy her gameplay featuring her fans, but, for someone who has such an impressive (my favorite) weapon in the game, Kitana has some of the most underwhelming special moves. The 2 that stand out have been there since day one. She needs better ones!

Sub-Zero:

The guy uses ICE powers for Raiden's sake! Why in the world is he still stuck with the same boring moves?

Superman's "Ice Breath" in MKvsDC should have been his since MK3 (Ice Breath Fatality).

Where is is sexy Ice shower?

And whatever happened to all those creative ideas that can feature his ice powers in much more interesting ways than what he's been doing since MK4? Challenge tower has him doing something like we saw in the first movie. DO THAT!

Jade:

I absolutely love Jade, but, I'm always upset that she never really gets new impressive special moves. Thankfully, her staff gameplay is super awesome, but, I think its time she got more than what we've seen of her since MKU.

Raiden:

Same as Kitana, Jade, and Sub-Zero.

Awesome special powers, but, serious lack of creative ideas that make us go wow and make him feel fresh.

Sonya:

Besides the obvious and stupid lack of her iconic Bike Kicks, I'd like to mention that I resent the fact that her Kiss of Death move was so downgraded in this game in favor of a cooler animation. Sure, it still looks badass, but, its no where near as fun to use as it was in MKDA-MKvsDC.

Thank God they've learned their lesson concerning her Energy Rings and Leg Grab. Those 2 are a must that should stay forever in her move set. Same with the Kiss and Bike Kicks.

I love the Ark Kick and would be very sad to see it go, however, if its gone in favor of her Bicycle kicks (up and down), I promise not to complain about it. Ever.

Kano

The lack of his eye-laser (either as a special or as a Fatality) offends me.



Absolutely.





Exactly.

And yes, I was referring to her well known Bike kicks in the most part, but, the super improved ones we got in MKvsDC (downward) easily became just as well loved and awesome.

The fact that they are still in MK9 as the (rather weak and less impressive) enhanced version of her Dive Kick speaks in their favor.

I just can't believe they actually thought that the "Arc Kick" (as awesome as it is) was a worthy replacement. NO MOVE would ever be worthy enough to replace those.

*shakes fists*
