mkda is after mk4

in mk4, kahn was not dead, just weak and not doing anything, all his efforts were for the war(the one he was fighting against kitana's people)

it seems that quan chi defeated shinnok and took the amulet, only to be brought to hell by scorpion

thats where there storylines kick in

u saw the MKG ending where Sonya and Jax make Cyrax more human? thats where they come in

i dont know why u thought it would be after mk3 and not mk4

it is clearly after mk4

MK:DA takes place 10 years after the first MK and I reckon about seven or six years after MK3. I'm not really sure where MK4 comes in between MK3 and DA though. I guess a few years.

Yeah, thanxs for that. Im stupid. I forgot to see those points. But what confused me was, that I had read that Kitana AND her people were fighting Kahn, then, how could that be if she was fighting to defeat Shinok. But never mind, I got it all cleared up. Thanxs.

I think its like these:

When the Mk1 tournament was finished, the heroes (according to the comics also) went back to earth to enjoy victory only for a little time, thats when Mk2 comes. When Mk2 is completed, right away the portals to earth open starting mk3.

It might had passed a LONG time after Mk3 till Shinok escaped hell to iniciate Mk4. Probably when defeated, it passed another NOT so LONG time when Kahn was finally defeated by the Deadly alliance iniciating Mk5. I think I got it all cler up now.

Indeed MK2 must have been right after MK1. Liu Kang, after coming home, already found his Temples ruined and the other monks dead (they never explain though how Kung Lao survived this massacre).

However, there are probably a few months between MK2 and MK3. Jax' bio states that he "begins preparing" suggesting a process that took at least some time. His bionic arms didn't grow overnight ;). Also, Sub-Zero and Smoke must have had time to escape the Lin Kuei clan and there must have been some time for the LK to build Sektor, Cyrax and convert Smoke.

Q

what do u mean build sektor and cyrax and convery smoke?

they all used to be human, so why not just say build smoke or convert cyrax,sektor and smoke?

Yeah, that was a slip-up. Sorry.

Yeah, again I missed soem points. Probably some weeks, I dont think months though.

i think each tournament happens when they are released with the process building up between the games like the journey to outworld finding kung lao etc then in mk3 you have the killing of all humanity etc then abit of quiet time before mk4 this is when edina is being attacked by shinnok and quan chi then after mk4 you have all the events which lead to mkda which takes like 5 years so the story betwen mkda and 6 will prob happen pretty quickly

I was wondering about something that's semi-related to this topic: Reptile. If he was serving Shao Kahn since his failure in the invasion of Earthrealm, what was he doing fighting for Shinnok in MK4?

He wasn't doing this stuff at the same time.

In MK4 his bio says that on Edenia he was tried for genocide. From this I conclude that after the third tourney, when Kahn's empire was in chaos, Reptile somehow got to Edenia (taken captive? went through the wrong portal?). When Shinnok and Quan Chi occupied the realm, however, Reptile was able to escape his sentence and offered his military services to the Army of Darkness.

After Shinnok was defeated Reptile was able to get back to Outworld, to serve Kahn for some years until the Deadly Alliance showed up and slew the emperor.

That's what I think happened.

how about everything happened in real time, look mk:da came out in 2002, mk1 was in 92, ten years is real time between mk 1 and mk:da, so 92 is mk1, 93 is mk2 which would explain how kahn had time to find out, also kang trained awhile before goin to outworld, and what about cage having time to make a movie about the events in mk1, and a new sub zero being crowned it would obviuosly take about 8 - 12 months for all that to happen, then in 95 is mk3(the invasion) now that would explain the time it took to resurect sindel, convert the cyber ninjas, and all that other stuff priorly mentioned, then we have mk4 which was in 97, shinnok escapes hell and gets quan chis help which you figure with everything that happened would take around 2 years, then shinnok is defeated but quan chi has the original amulet but gets taken to hell with scorpion, also in the mk:da intro everything is aight and calm so you figure 5 years would be enuff time for peace, so it can possibly all fit into logical real time from the first incarnation to the newest one.

That is a really good Idea, good thinking!

Shinnok waged war upon the Elder Gods once he entered Edenia. After Shinnok was defeated by Rayden, Kahn took the opportunity to wage battle with Kitana's forces in order to get Edenia back.
