No, however, the topic of introducing swords has been flogged to death previously so I'm sure you'll forgive us, Kobrakai, for not bringing it up. Provide a constructive criticism or go about your business.
I agree though that Zui Ba Xian Quan Kung Fu (Eight Drunken Immortals Kung Fu or Drunken Boxing) would be a great addition to the game. Only problem is: for the first few weeks after it's release, nearly everyone would be using it because it's so hilarious.
Tae Kwon-Do would be awesome too, though I suspect that the devs would say that there would be no need for it seeing as Karate already exists in the game. I know, fellow TKD practitioners, such comments make me flinch too. Tae Kwon-Do has some heavy differences from Karate but... we're not the ones who decide what gets implemented and what doesn't. I also practice Ba Gua Zhang in real life but, seeing as it is such an obscure art, I just pretend that Kung Fu is it. Most of the moves are pretty similar. There aren't as many funny-looking kicks but the hand techniques are very close.
The biggest thing I would like to see introduced as a martial art is Ninjutsu. The Shadow tree just doesn't cut it. Being able to turn Invisible and make some lightly-injuring attacks without fully revelaing yourself just doesn't represent the intricacies of the Way of the Ninja to me. The only way you can even come close to simulating a Ninja at the moment is to load Shadow and Karate or Karate and Knife Thrower. But just like the problem with Drunken Boxing, everyone would be a Ninja after the patch. And also, just as in the instance with Tae Kwon-Do, the devs probably feel that a Karate/ Assassin hybrid, or something along those lines, is good enough.
well, not to be picky, but, aikido is a form of jujutsu. morihei ueshiba took jujutsu (traditional, not the stuff u see in UFC or Pride) and further adapted it to what is now known as aikido. ueshiba also studied judo, sumo, karate and several other martial arts, theres much more to it but that's the sum of it. jujutsu loosely translated is "the gentle way" aikido loosely translated is "the path between peace and harmony." aikido uses more of the "ki" or "chi" in its form but you'll notice the similarities in the locks, counters and throws.
on that note, what i would like to see is the ability to utilize more than one style, and mix it up, as they did in the movie. throw in some krav maga, tae kwon do would be hella kewl too.
