No, obviously you haven't been following the story on the games. It takes place after armaggeddon when Blaze is defeated and the realms merge.

Actually Ed Boon said that it takes place between MK2 and MK3, but its non-canon and shouldn't be regarded as part of the MK Timeline, and neither should MKSM because that is non-canon also.

Well MK vs DC and MK SM are non cannon, but I think they become an alternate timeline.

The funny thing about my obviously not paying attention is that yep, MK2 and MK3 had MK vs DC between the two of them. I've followed the story on the games far too well.

Great photo that sums up my thoughts exactly.

I'm still curious about my question though. Even if there is no fact proving or disproving that MK vs DC is an alternate reality spawned from MK SM, I'd be curious to hear other opinions.

Boon has stated that it is non canon and NOT PART OF OFFICIAL STORYLINE however if he had to place it it would be between MK2 or MK3. He should probably never have said that there are far too many of these topics

it is in the same canon as shoalin monks and takes place right after its MK3 events an sequel for sm would be enough to fill the void between the 2 games

You're not getting the question AT ALL.


It's an interesting question. Is MK vs DC the direct sequel of Shaolin Monks?
Obviously they're both non-canon and not part of the real storyline, but that doesn't mean they can't be part of the same non-canon universe.

Then the answer is obviously no because in Shaolin Monks, Kano, Baraka, Shang Tsung, Scorpion and Shao Kahn all died.

iunno

MK SM is the non-canon story inbetween 1 & 2. Wouldn't that mean there's a non-canon MK3 and MK4 story along with it?
How could MK vs DC fit into all that?

So, according to your logic, every game after MK2 would be non canon due to the death of Johnny Cage

Thank you Zentile for understanding the question You have made me proud that you actually read the post instead of the title like other people have.

In the official cannon, Johnny Cage is supposedly was blocked from his ascention to the heavens when Outworld merged with Earth in UMK3T. I prefer my idea.... Johnny died and went to the Neatherrealm and then MK 4 he was there ready to fight against Shinnok.

So by that logic, even in this alternate reality of MK vs DC, the merging of MKU into DCU would have the same effect, blocking Baraka / Kano / Shang Tsung from wherever their final destination is.

Maybe its like Sub-Zero where Baraka has a brother that just looks like Baraka.

Maybe this is just like the Legend of Zelda where there is no timeline and each game is stand alone.

I know, I was just making a point that death never really means anything in MK


ahh, i love hypocritical noobs

obviously you haven't been following it. It has been said multiple times that this is non-canon, and that it would've taken place after MK2 and before MK3

anyways.

I thought Zentile made a great point, who says they aren't part of their own canon?MKSM is a "remake" of MK2, so its completely possible, and if MKSM ever spawns a sequel, it could be made as a sequel to MK vs. DC

but that is probably saying too much

No.

was bumping this really necessary?

It's still on the first page, and I still think it was a good point.

I was talking about Eagle's post

oh...ok

I believe MK/DC and MKSM take place in their own separate canon, apart from the original MK storyline.

actually mksm take place following the mk2 storyline and mk vs dc takes place after the events of mk3

...*facepalm*


*sigh*...Your wrong.
MKSM is a "remake" of MK2, which is explained by the characters and setting, and Boon has said that MK vs. DCU would have occurred between MK2 and MK3 if it was. Besides, if it did occur after MK3, why are there no MK3 characters in it?

I would have to say that it takes place between MK1 and MK2 according to Scorpion and Sub-Zeros bio's because Sub-Zero is still unsure of his loyalty to his clan and Scorpion has not yet realized that this Sub-Zero is the younger brother of the one he murdered.

no your wrong mksm is not a remake of mk2 it's just an advenure game following it as for mk3 it dose take place after mk3 because shao kahn violated the rules of mortal kombat when he invaded earth mk2 was just the outworld tournament

No, I am right, and I'll prove it.


That means its a remake dumbass.

no it doesn't.
What do you call the invasion of the Wu Shi Academy, a visit? no, They were Outworld Warriors and the invaded Earthrealm. which is a Violation of Mortal Kombat.
