Friendships: I'm up in the air with this one. I enjoy a darker setting/tone for MK, so if they were to return, I'd prefer them to be hidden in the krypt as mini videos or something.

Hara-Kiris: I found this to be really dumb, honestly. It seemed the only one fitting in Deception at all was Kenshi's. As with the Animalities though, I think the hara-kiri would be more valuable as a rare occurrence; e.g. only giving Kenshi a hara-kiri.

Kreate a Fighter: Cool concept, difficult to execute. Needs a complete overhaul (obviously) from Armageddon's prototype. Could be epic, but fans will always want more, more, more...

Kreate a Fatality: I'll add this even though it wasn't in the OP's original message, but it's pretty much in the same situation as Kreate a Fighter, I think, and again, no matter how epic it could get, the fans' bloodlust is insatiable.

Nintendo Console Support: Personally, I think Nintendo has been trash since the GameCube, so... I don't care, I guess.

Variations: I believe Variations SOUND good, but I do agree with the OP that Fighting Styles are better and more fluid: transitioning from one set of moves to another seemlessly INCLUDING Special Moves, not just basic/kombo moves would be quite amazing.

Faction War: This left a lot to be desired, in my opinion. I would like to see them do away with this completely. Greetings. I am the OP. I for the most part agree, especially your in-depth explaination on Variations Vs Styles. However, what you said about Hara-Kiris and Nintendo doesn't sit well with me.

Hara-Kiris were a way where EVEN if they lost terribly, they got the last laugh, removing any chance of the winning player to Finish Him/Her on their accord. Basically, the losing player is doomed, but they at least may go out on their own terms. Only, do not set a specific AI character to Hara-Kiri almost EVERYTIME. Case in point: Darrius.

Second, and this one is definitely more opinion based. And I'm kinda biased since I'm growing up as a Nintendo child. But I've always liked the little bonus Nintendo Players got, like Shao Kahn, Goro, and Khameleon. However, I would prefer that if Boon doesn't bring back Nintendo support, make the controls like Deception's, not Armaggedon's. Lastly, basically all fighting games have just kicked Nintendo to the curb, and it would be nice to be able to play a Fighting game on a Nintendo console, other than Smash Bros., one of many SFII remakes, or Injustice I.
