Anyone else pissed off by the amount of anachronisms in Konquest?
-Earthrealm characters including Sub-Zero, Jax, Kira, and Kobra can be seen in even Shujinko's earliest wanderings in Earthrealm, and they look as they do in the game. I would think some of these probably wouldn't have been born yet.
-In Chaosrealm, Kabal says he's a convert to Chaos, but the MK1 tounament (let alone the MK3 era when Kabal is beaten and scarred by the Extermination Squads, let alone the MKDA era when Mavado beats him, let alone the MKD era when Havik saves him) isn't mentioned till later.
-In Outworld, Jade claims to be working for Sindel, but again, this is before MK1, and Sindel wasn't resurrected until MK3.
They sure seem to have pissed all over any concept of chronological continuity...

I'm looking at Konquest like the gist of the story, Shujinko is decieved into going on this quest across the realms and along the way may have bumped into some characters, happened.
But the details like the ones you mentioned among many others should for the most part, just be ignored and not treated as canon.

As I was going up the stairs, I met a man who wasnt there. He wasnt there again today, I wish I wish he'd go away

To stop people going "ehhhh?"
anachronisms are when things/people/events are out of order with regards to time

I know exactly what you mean, but i can understand why they didn't make everything according to the timeline. It would have simply been to difficult. And the quest wouldn't have been anywhere near as spread out. As well as only giving you a small amount of time to see all the MK characters. Though it's not completely true to the story, Konquest mode was/is probably better off this way.
