Some cool new gameplay mechanics would be:
-Ability to struggle when death traps happen, so you don't always die, and can even throw the enemy in
-Ripped Clothing
-Instant Kills
-Broken Bones
-Rip off Limbs
-Weapon Stabbing(not new, but I liked it before)
-BLOCKABLE or REVERSABLE throws
Firstly, I think there should be a mechanic during gameplay, when a player is thrown into a death trap or something, the screen could present a combo on the screen and you'd have to put it in if you were the one thrown. It would change three times and if you made the three combos in under 20 seconds each time, you climbed back up. If you didn't, you died. If you could enter four combos in 20 seconds, you reversed and threw your opponent off, at which time they would have the chance to climb back up as well. Imagine how intense it'd be. Instant kills would be cool too, but they should be difficult to perform. Third, I think it would be awesome to see limbs ripped off or bones broken to handicap the opponent. However, you would only have like two per round or something, sorta like the stabbing the weapons. How cool would that be to rip off an opponent's leg and watch them wobble around while you kick their ass? Or break their arm and watch some moves not be able to happen? They would definitely be able to fight back, (and NOT lose life, just make it harder to move and attack) but would be in for a fight. Ripped clothing isn't a must, but it would really bring more realism to the game. You cut a guy in the stomach; he bleeds a crapload, but the clothing remains intact. Wtf? Another cool thing to bring back would be weapon stabbing, as I loved it. Same effect as before, but maybe make them not drain as fast? Or have a limit to how low the health can go or something. Lastly, reversable or at the very least blockable throws are a must. Whenever I fight my uncle and cousin in this game, they always do some cheap ass special move, then right when I get up they throw me. It would be nice if they could get a taste of their own medicine, so that when they go to throw me, I counter it.
Opinions?
