Season 3 mode wishlist

[X3dXJUGG3RNAUT]

What new modes do you want to see in season 3? Personally I would LOVE to see dojo mode for everyone(I mean, I need to get good with ARIA), a campaign mode like mortal kombat 9 and MK X, a mode where we can create our own custom accessories for the characters( e.g make a cyrax helmet for fulgore, or an arcce torso for ARIA) and a mode where we can earn ki gold as rewards. Think of master and crazy orders from super smash bros will u and 3ds.

I think we should still be able to win and be able to use XP and KI gold for characters that are at level 50.

I’ve won so many with my 3 level 50 characters, I need some way to cash in for my Kim Wu when she comes

For single player modes, I would like tag team mode like KI gold, Finish mode, where you can have instant ultras, the option to select music from other stages for practice, a full-fledged character viewer, think of how we saw KIM Wus weapons in the Rash trailer, I’d love to be able to view the characters like w could in the season 1 build, at least like marvel vs capcom said character viewer, where you could hear the character’s theme while viewing and enjoying your favorite customized character.
In a perfect world, I’d be able to perform the moves of the character (without the special effects) while being to view the character.

They said they loved the passion, so indulge us. I passionate,y want a character viewer.

It would be nice to see some sort of xp/currency that you could collect from your high level characters and then use to get accessories etc. for your lower rank guys. There are several F2P games that do this - including World of Tanks. Just a thought. It’s sort of aggravating to go online and fight with your main and realize that you are basically tossing out all this xp into the wind.

This is actually how season 1 worked isn’t it? What with the kp and all. They changed it going into season 2. Unless you mean you only get it from maxed out characters. Though that would make ki gold pointless.

There’s another topic like this in the general section, if I’m not mistaken, so I’ll post what I posted there with one addition:

@Iago407

-Manual Training Mode: Have the game teach, in the simplest way possible, how to manual and walk you through your timing. Each character and any situation available.

-Killer Survival Mode: Similar to regular survival mode, but without a ladder. You win, your health recharges a small amount, and the next character drops down. After five wins, you go to the next background for five more.

Each match has it’s own item reward trigger: So before the match starts, the game pauses to tell you what will trigger rewards. Maybe it’s combo breaking, maybe it’s using a shadow move in a combo that you finish, maybe it’s doing a combo of more than 20 hits.

Whatever it is for that match, the opponent drops an item that you can pick up by moving over it(before it fades away). Items could be strength buffs of varying sizes, health refills of varying sizes, XP bonuses of varying sizes, game unlocks like profile items, character art, and perhaps even debuffs for your character as well.

-Master Mode: Learn from the pros. IG & MS brings in pro players to do training videos showing off their tech with their best characters. These videos get incorporated in to training you how to do that kind of tech, explained as simply as possible, telling you what they like about this or that move, what they don’t, etc.

-Mission Mode: Once a month, IG releases a new set of five character ladders for each character to play against, like an arcade ladder. Each one is geared toward telling a small part of that character’s story or providing some background for them overall or what’s happening to them in the story or to trigger something that happened to the character in the past. It’s meant to be a companion to the actual story mode; to simply provide more info beyond what we already find out as well as flesh out the character backgrounds.

Now, I’m not saying that this should require a new piece of artwork each month. If anything, I’d almost like to see them use the dossier screen from the start of season 1 story/arcade mode. Create one for each character in the game and have the new information gained pop up in a new dossier file once you’ve defeated the five characters and finished your “mission.”

-Ronin Mode: Once your character reaches level 50, they stop earning XP. There’s no real difference between a level 50 Sabrewulf that just reached the summit yesterday and a player that’s leveled Sabrewulf to 50 months and months ago and has put in several more hours.

What if, when you reached level 50 with a character, that this character was now useable in Ronin mode. When you choose the offline Ronin mode, your character “travels” on a map from one area to another. Fighting characters and through winning, unlocks special profile “belts” that can only be used when you pick that character, and decals for individual match wins which go toward getting new belts. You lose decals for individual match losses.

This way, a character that’s a level 50 can now open more status oriented stuff that they have the option to show off when they fight online or in tournaments if they so choose. Plus, it’s just nice to keep earning stuff with a character that you keep using beyond level 50.

Let’s say it starts off with a white belt for the profile background (but it only shows up for that character). After getting ten wins, where each win gets you a bronze KI logo above your profile, you then get ten silver KI logos that go over the bronze logos, then ten gold KI logos over those.

Once you get to ten, your belt changes from white to yellow and so on to orange, to green, to blue, to purple, to brown, to black, to bronze, to silver, to gold, to red. After that, you get a rotating black decal that says “MASTER” on one side in silver lettering and shows the character’s face on the other that goes in the large circle on the right side of the profile.

You’d also have the option to toggle on/off Ronin mode for the character. If you leave it set to “Ronin only” then you only gain decals and belts by fighting in Ronin mode. If you set it “on” then you can gain decals and new belts by fighting in any other mode online or offline. By setting it to “off,” the game saves your Ronin progress, and that character “exits” Ronin mode, restoring your regular profile background, decal etc to that character.

-Dojo Mode: Much smaller explanation here. I just want dojo mode for everyone, not just Jago.

XP Rush Mode: I feel like this game needs more ways to earn a greater amount of XP. Or more specifically, if that’s your main focus at the moment… You want to unlock everything for your favorite character or even for the whole cast, there should be a specific mode for you.

In this mode, you’d be in a faux-tournament, and you’re given tasks to complete by a shadowy silhouette.

"I’ve got a wealthy backer that wants to see you win this whole thing. But you’ll have to show him what you can do. In your next match, he’ll give you 100 bonus XP for doing the following:

-Ultra combo
-Combos above 30 hits
-10 manuals
-Use every ender you have"

Then the next match:

“My backer’s impressed, but he wants you to show off a bit more. He’ll give you a 1,000 XP if you can perform a double ultra in your next match, but he’ll take 200 XP if you don’t.”

Or

“My backer wants to see Jago go down… Hard. He’ll tack on 25XP every time you throw him. You throw him less than five times, he takes away 50XP. Also… 500 bonus XP for a Supreme Victory.”

So yeah… There could be lists of stuff to do for each match, maybe some small, negative outcomes if you don’t reach certain milestones. But the point would be the focus on gaining XP. As you go on, the tasks get harder, but you don’t move on until you complete at least one assigned task, but you can go back and replay to finish the ones you missed.

I believe Mortal Kombat 9’s tower was something similar to this. I’m not proposing anything too crazy or outlandish, like fighting on the ceiling or whatever they did in the MK9 tower. But give each character their own “backer” and you go through “the tournament,” defeat every character until you get to Gargos and then defeat him for a bigger bonus. Maybe even get an unlockable of some sort.

Yeah, but not exactly. IN season 1 you got in game currency for accomplishing missions and achievements. These would pop up semi randomly in a list. You could spend this money however you wanted, including on accessories and colors for characters. But some things were locked behind specific achievements - like the infamous “win 40 ranked matches with this character” color unlock. So, in some ways the “play and earn xp” with this character was an improvement because it got rid of some of these randomly locked colors and made it just progress up a straight ladder. The problem is now, once you’ve maxed out a character you get nothing. So I think you should be able to transfer that xp somehow towards unlocking things for other characters. It’s just an idea.

Yea I was just asking for clarification to make sure I understood what you meant. I definitely wouldnt mind this though.

[StroppyChart]

i would like to see a tournament mode/cup mode, where you can vs up to 15 human opponents online or 15 cpu opponents.

Tag team would be great! an MK style story mode

I do think season 3 should include more single player modes just like the old days!
