Imagine a Mortal Kombat game that allowed up to 4 or let's say even 8 characters in one fight? What do you think it would be like? Especially if it was like the old 2D days except with multi layered stages with death traps in them?
Anyways back on topic, four or more kombatants in one fight, let me know what you think.

this idea was already thought of and talked about. it actully came from one of the MK team working on Deception. there is a concept drawing of it in the crypt. anyway, its a nice idea, but it would not work in 2D. and it would be alot like ssbb. i just don't see it working

I wouldn't like to play a MK game that look like a SSBB ripoff.

I prefer to see an online tournament with KAF caracters

With the life bar scheme of MK, it would end up with many of the fighters hiding and waiting for the others to kill eachother.

This cannot happen.

Because...
If you kontrol Scorpion and spear somebody, what if at the time you're spearing him somebody else also has Scorpion and Spears you? If nothing happens on the second spear it would just be like WWE Smackdown VS Raw only in 2D. Would you like that? Huh would you?

I don't see that as a problem. The way I see it, the second spear would work over the first since the first Scorpion would be stunned and couldn't pull in the other character anyway.

bad idea for 2d but 3d id like to see it have 2 game modes classic 3d and 4 player 3d with teams that would be very cool and if people hide who cares? seriosly whats so bad about that theyed just screw over their own team.

this could work maybe for a team match or something, like the way they did it in Triology. But other than that it probably wouldn't work, like if one person won who would he/she be able to do the fatality on...unless they made multi fatality-cutscenes for characters...

It wouldn't be a problem, the game could have 3D graphics, but just be a side view, no 2D world. Fatalities can be preformed but not take up the whole screen, just the portion they are on.

The only way I see it working is like the versus mode in MKSM.

If someone touch someone with the finisher button , then every thing stop the time he do a fatality then the battle continu.
