Things i'd like to see in mortal kombat 8 would be
-Two great mini games like make a sport like mortal kombat one for one and a like mentioned mortal kombat tetris like one.
-A better konquest mode like make it as excellent as deception's one was but expand it and make it that much better.
-To see Kitana,Ermac Atleast return of course those are my two characters i like.
- Bring back the cool way of doing fatalities. Those were always my favorite types of fatalities cause atleast they gave each own character there difference.
- The Krypt of course the krypt would be cool if they added a whole bunch of stuff like more then they have so yet. Like add more unlockable characters in it, Hidden pictures, hidden videos, hidden games or such like make it a great krypt so you really feel like your getting rewarded for your hard work in the progress of the game.
- The Return of Hara Kiri's would be great to i missed those since them ever being in deception it added a good feature for when you die you had your own chance of doing a fatality on your self.
- Bios the bios definitely need to be back midway has along enough time to put them in this time so it be good to see them back.
- Better ending videos of each chracter- they need to make them cool sorta like how they did a great job in the mk4 ones.
Things i wouldn't want to see
Those lame kaf fatalitys like what was put in armageddon it made the game feel boring knowning each character would do the same exact thing.
A konquest mode like armageddon's - Armageddon konquest i found it was too fast and easy to complete.

i really like the following things:
-SUBZERO!!!. if he is missing i will not buy mk8
-A more challenging mode of unlocking things, althrough the koins sistem from mk is well, with this, a great krypt, but i really dont want t find empty chests
-BIOS!!! i agree with doug, we tolerated the lack of bios on armageddon, but im no will do it again!!!
-Fatalities!!!, i totally liked the fatalities of subzero in deception, i think that were the bests, but the crap of fatalities in armageddon make me sick  from always the same thing. Animalitiies and hara kiris could be fun
- a more challenging konquest, but no a one with missable items, one that if you pass from a town to another, you can never recover what you left.
-A great story, and a new bad guy that have other ideas, not only to control all the realms

I also don't want to see "capes" on the characters, ig; Raiden, Shao Kahn and Daegon. It's kind of distracting and useless (like Nitara's wing's).

i really dont have any problem with that, it ives the character, mm. a royalist version of them, i think that nitara and onaga look great with that wings, maybe sub-zero would look cool with a cape 
it essencially depends on the character, some looks good, others no

Shao Kahn: He never had a cape in MK 2 or 3, so why in MKA? Wrong move by the MK Team.
Daegon: I shouldn't say much because it was his first appearence.
Raiden: Mostly like Shao Kahn, but Raiden has been in more games. Since Raiden's corruption twist, it does suit him in a so/so way.
Sub-Zero does not need a cape. He's messed up as it is.
As for Nitara and Onaga, well... both Vampires and Dragons do have wings. They or just Nitara should be able to use the wings in the game for, special moves or even a fatality.

I want more and interesting charachters but it is hard. I usually have too high expactations from the latest MK games.
But I would want:
Samurai-ish warrior.
New Shokan fighter
New Tarkatan fighter even more vicious than Baraka.
New Black Dragon fighter or if possible Kano. (Big surprise eh)
1 solid fighting style and like someone else mentioned that weapons should be special attacks only.
Good Fatalities that are based on the charachter and his or her personality and attributes like in earlier MK games.
and I could do without:
KAF
Stupid minigames like the one in MKA.
Lack of bios
Fighting styles that don´t really resemble the original styles.

 i dont think that the capes are a big problem, but well, everybody have their likes and dislikes, personally, i dont have any problem with that kind of stuff, its like the hotaru flags, i will not get angry because he has them, anyways, you can choose the alternate suit, hopes that they return!!!
Pd: i recommend you that you should use the bank to increase your koins, everyday has a 10% increase ratio, you should try it!!!, the money in the pocket doesnt grows!!!, personally, i think that is impossible buy new cool things without using the bank.
And i dont know if you know, but i created a sig for you yesterday, im not sure if you like it, but maybe you dont know that, so i tell you check it , and if you like it, pick it!!!.

Shoa Kahn didnt have a cape for the same reason kabal didnt have his trench coat; they couldnt do it with the digitized actors because it'd get in the way of the moves.
And stop hating on Stryker; for a normal human, the guy kicked a lot of ass.
Back to the subject at hand though:
Want i want to see:
- New, well thought out characters. I don't want to see copy pasta characters. I want new, fresh characters; both in story and in moves. It's done us fine for the last few games, but with new technology and power of the new systems, I want that power to be put to full use in making a totally original roster together.
- A good story. After the fall of our beloved characters and storyline, I want a story that damn well makes up for it.
- A better thought out KAF. For people like me that love having options and love being able to diversify our games, i want a KAF that doesn't force me to make a woman that's got an uber small waste with giant breasts. I want a more filled out woman with a reasonable chest size. And I don't want a slim pickings of special attacks that can only be assigned to certain buttons. I say just give us all the special attacks and let us assign them to any special commands we want.
- At least a hand full of the old characters making an apperience. It bothers me having a fresh new roster. I want at least a hand full of the older characters to either make story line apperences, or be unlockables; just so us old timers got something to hold on to.
What I don't want to see:
- Copy pasta moves. There's no need of it. If you can't think of an original move set, then just use an older character.
- Copy Pasta story. With new characters, I expect new stories. I don't want our main heros to be just like the old ones only different in looks and moves; sure, it'd be nice to see other tarkatans or other edienians, but I want something fresh, new, and not done before in MK.

What he said but with two humble additions:
1.I don't want all the females to look like sluts (I mean, check out mileena... yeh yeh, the more fresh flesh the more it sells, i know) and yeah, if there is a KAK (not KAF, VainZiller  ) females/males should be fully customizable . (is that a word?).
2.Really great arenas (not that I'm not proud of the DA,D,A ones but ok, you brought back the 2d ones into the 3d realm (3d realms - duke nukem hihihi ) but enough with the nostalgia... we/or I want new arenas that give you that MK dark feeling. And I also like to say that I personally don't want anymore subways or anything that has to do with modern/futuristic crap. Keep the ancient/chinese/wasteland feel.

Same here. It seems that instead of taking inspiration from the old Kung Fu flicks and slightly from american movies, they've started to take inspiration from other japanese fighting games. I want the old MKI ancient chinese look. That's MK imo.

The old feel ok MK1, mixed with the wasteland of MK2 and even a
dash of MK4 arenas. Thats what I would like to see.
Not just the nice feel of ancient oriental from MK1, but the dark and grit from MK2 and 4.
Sheeesh, I hate waiting for new mk news

Oh yeah forgot to add the MKII style arenas. They were dark and had that excellent music, which gave the great atmosphere. My favorite arena is The Portal, loved the music in there, also Kahn's arena as it shared the same music.
Feeling about MK8 is mutual here dude^_^-

regards to the blocking,it would be better if they did a counter grab/throw cuz you can be thrown if your blocking in real life it wuold be better if someone went to throw you you can counter throw the throw or grapple
and sidestepping is a must to make it realistic,i loved side stepping stuff to get in a smooth hit to the face
things i want to see
*FMV endings
*a well developed story to introduce the new characters and one that includes the returning
*smooth animations and dark gritty arenas,atmospheric and grim
*awesome costume designs more to the ancient chinese/japanese tradition
things i dont want to see,
*joke characters
*lame unlockable junk
