While playing MK2 at the mall near my house, I noticed that everytime the round ended a random number of MK medallions appeared on the screen, where the score was in MK1.  Can anyone tell me what these are, and what they mean?  Thanks.

Well, they aren't random.  Currently, they signify how many rounds you have
won without getting terminated.  

 medallion        = one round. 
 MKII symbol      = 10 rounds
 Gold MKII symbol = 50 rounds

Note, if you lose one round of a match you win in 3 (or 4) rounds, you get
the 2 rounds credit and don't lose the run.  It is only reset when you are
terminated.

Apparently, it is eventually going to be a rating system, but it is mere
speculation currently, about the how, when, and why, of it all.

What would rank a 5-star....er, medallion, performance?
