Ultimately what I want to see the most in any future story mode is the inclusion of playing as evil characters. It makes no sense that the good guys win every single fight. Absolutely stupid. MKX did it a little, but only the "neutral" characters and only because they were new to the series. In MK9, Stryker defeats Ermac. Yes, I'm an Ermac fanboy, but c'mon, seriously? Ermac should easily destroy 95% of the roster. Stryker is low-tier. He's just a step above Kira and Kobra as far as I'm concerned.

Also in MK9, Sonya "defeats" Raiden, but immediately afterwards in the cutscene, Raiden tells her to shield her eyes as if they didn't just fight, let alone as if she didn't just kick his ass. Know why? Because she could never in a million years beat Raiden. He'd kill her with all of his limbs detached. Things like that just don't make any sense.

I'd also like to see a better push for characters such as Reptile and Baraka. Especially Reptile, given he has a much more intriguing backstory. Make him playable in story mode within a flashback to thousands of years prior when he wasn't the only Saurian left living. SOMETHING. Baraka is a fan favorite as well, even though he's a punching bag. It's difficult to make him stand out, simply because he looks almost indentical to all of the other Tarkatans, though. I think both of them look badass and play badass, but in story, they're just there to get their ass handed to them. It's a waste of potential to me.
