With the CR2.0 still in early testing, we need to worry about balancing out the current 3 styles.

These types of changes would most likely come in an expansion pack, or further down the road in a patch once CR2.0 is in Live and done testing.

If someone asked me,of all the martial arts inthe world which one would you like to most see added to MXO. my answer would be Capoeira 
 
Since between the 4 styles we have most of the common styles are already covered. Tae Kwan Do isn't far from Self-Defense of Karate of which both are in the game already.
 
Cool video though. thanks for sharing.

Sigh.  All the 'hard' striking arts, whether Karate itself, TKD, Tang Soo Do, Boxing, Muai Thai, et all are represented by the catch-all "Karate."  Some of the fancy Karate moves are things rarely tought outside of foot-centric variants like TKD.

Likewise, soft-hard arts like Capoeira, the million variants of Kung Fu from animal styles to Wing Chun, are all lumped together as "Kung Fu."

Soft arts whether Jiu-Jutsu, Aikido, Tai Chi, all are labeled "Aikido."

Don't expect a whole new tree just for whatever your favorite style is.  If I were to pick one out of the hundreds, it'd be Kali/Silat.  SMILEY  But I realize that while a particular Kali move (or sticks in general) aren't represented in MxO, as a hard art its basic principles are covered by "Karate."
