You've used Soul Calibur 5 as an example time and again to justify it, but that game failed miserably and SC is still dead because of it. The same would no doubt happen if they went that far with pushing out & replacing the veterans of MK, or at least MK would start to greatly decline again. The 2D characters sell.

And yeah, MK9 was revolutionary, a return to form. You're in the far minority for even being close to giving it a thumbs down. And guess what? That game drew in many new fans as well, more than the 3D games ever did based on its success, so more of the newer fans have been introduced to the same iconic characters that the series veterans grew up with.

But even MK still goes into the future after 9. And the future is known for changing things.
