MKDA was probably the best MK for me, since it raised the gameplay bar with two styles and a permanent weapon. Going back to the basics wouldn't be so wise a choice for MK, since the basics are just a few special moves and only the most basic fighting moves...but if they've managed to include various combos of special moves, juggling, etc. then this should be good.
P.S: Didn't Kung Lao have a bunny under his hat?
