Shadow Lords TOO HARD!

I’d rather see them go with more of a story backup approach, where we both find out more about the character’s background, but also provide some other type of action that they take within the story itself. I’d have Gargos be more of a “gatekeeper” that blocks your path to this knowledge as opposed to the traditional final boss where beating him only shows something that pertains to what happens if you beat him. The resulting ending could, and likely would, have little to do with him unless a particular character actually fights him in the story.

Yeah, that would make sense…honestly when I said “what happens now” That’s actually what I meant. I mean SL pretty much shows that defeating Gargos is a group win, so it would make more sense to show ending stories that just elaborated on what happens with each character in the aftermath.

While an arcade mode is nice, it is a common game mode that really is kinda outdated.

Not in the least. In fact MKX still has it, and if what I understand is right, SFV is getting one within the next update or 2 (which I’m sure is due to the massive outcry from casual players at launch for leaving it out).
And those are the most popular modern fighting games.

Anyway, there is a thread for Arcade mode discussion already, I suggest anything further on the topic of an arcade mode be directed there:

Arcade mode

So after shadow lords comes out I was thinking wouldn’t it be cool to have an arcade mode with multiple ladders? It would be a standard arcade mode with a boss at the end and we could have 5 ladders. Retro Ki 1. You only fight Ki 1 characters in their retros and the boss is eyedol Retro ki2. Ki 2 characters only in retros with Gargos as the boss Ki season one. Ki season one characters boss shadow jago Ki season two. Ki season two characters and boss Aria Ki season three. Ki season three chara…
