If it has any excuse to more like MK9 and not X, I'm fine with that. Perhaps not particularly the combos. I kinda thought the run isn't accommodating to the way the movement is in MK period. 3 did it better considering how the game was played for that time period. Imo there's some games that work better being combo heavy to the point of anime and others not so much. I'm ok with MK if it decides to do be or not.
