It really did seem to lose something after MK3 and never seemed to get it back. MK9 seemed to get the closest out of all the newer ones to that old feel, at least for me, although the X-ray bone breaking special moves it introduced got too long and annoying after you did them every single match. Seems like they've doubled down on those and they've just gotten worse with MKX and MK11.
