It just occurred to me that Shujinko spends his whole life being %$aed around by the Dragon King... and then at the end gets killed by Raiden.
I am of course assuming that his ending is canon.. but still. What a raw deal aye? As much as I hate shujinko, I can;t help but feel sorry for him...
He is, after all, the only character apart from Reptile who has ever been able to do both the Ice Ball and the Bloody Spear~

That would suck if Raiden's ending was canon. I hope Shujinko just stops fighting and becomes a kung fu teacher, like Bo Rai Cho...

that would be great if Shujinko become a teacher. think about it, he learned (or copy) all the fighters abilities and moves. that would be awesome.

I think that Shujinko should start a rivalry with Raiden. Raiden is turning out to be a real asshole in Mortal Kombat, and you know what? I like that... smile

Me too. I never really liked Raiden till Deception. I especially liked him after seeing his endingtongue I don't feel bad for Shujinko. Yes, he wasted his life, but he did alot of dumb things, like stealing Bo Rai Cho's medallion, and helping Tanya trap Liu Kang. He's dumb.

i love the new raiden but i do agree. i think MK has too many tragic warriors. shujinko gives new meaning to it. an entire life wasted. i still hope one day snoke will save sub#2 , shujinko will regain his youth, reptile will find his home. exe. :(

I did feel a bit sadden at the end of konquest. Indeed Shunjinko wasted his entire life when he could've done other things. But that would be cool if he became a teacher now like Bo'.

Actually, Shinnok could too :) And Shang Tsung, if you count the morphs.

I'm not a fan of Rayden at all. I didnt mind him in MK2, but he's been crap ever since. I dont think his fighting styles suit him, and dont get me started on how stupid that staff looks.
Making him this...ahem..'bad ass' god is just a bad move. His MK4 ending should have happened and him stay an Elder God. Why didnt he tell Fujin to lead the fight against the Deadly Alliance. He couldn'y have done any worse than Rayden did, I mean he didn't even stop them, then half killed himself when Onaga showed up. Rayden is just Lame lame lame. He is over used and his new line as a bad ass god soooooooo doesn't suit him.
Bring back Fujin!!!!!
And as for Shujinko, well I think the his whole concept was a bit weird from the start. having him copy all the fighting styels and special moves form others doesnt give him individuality. Thats what an MK character need to survive. Ok you have have similarities in stories and look eg Kitana/Millena/Jade Scorpion/Sub/Noob/Reptile/etc but all of those characters although similar, are very different (hmm that might makes sense only to me) and are becoming more seperate especially in terms of their look and design. If they gave him his own styles, his own moves and improved his story a little, then I'd welcome him back. But he's nothing special IMO.
Ooooh get me today!!!! Am very opinionated today lol Been taking my opinionation pills!!! Lol.

I feel sorry for him. I do not exactly like him, but you really have to feel soory for him. I do agree that Mk has a lot of tragic warriors. People like scorp, original sub, reptile and goro all come to mind. Not to mention kenshi, rain and so on.

just let Jinko have a match with that Hat full of lightning Rayden. if he survives the event, which actually kills him, then he should hjust go after our beloved former Elder God and try to "reason" with him.
Bringing a halt to Raydens behavior could redeem his whole life. A life spent with nothing more than learning martial arts. How boring. Shujinko has a spark of originality in him with Shang, they just messed him up.
while Tsung copies the face and all other special moves of a character, Shujinko copies styles and (only those what are explainable: he can freeze if he copies it, but how can he throw a spear out of nowhere) a few specials
There is difference between the two things. Shujinko rulez for me.

Some things that could happen...
1. Shujinko could stop fighting and become a martial arts teacher like Bo Rai Cho and train earthrealms greatest warriors...
2. Shujinko could discover Quan Chi's inner sanctum and turn back into a kid...
3. Shujinko and Raiden could have a stand off and before the match starts, Shinnok could appear and help Shujinko fight Raiden (because Shujinko helped Shinnok find the amulet and Shinnok would want to repay him) or Shinnok could hold Raiden off while Shujinko escapes...
4. Shujinko could continue fighting and fend Raiden off in a fight, or mabye even defeat Raiden and turn Raiden back to normal...

Wow, I really like the idea of him becoming a kid again. It's a unique twist, it could be the first-ever "Babality" that's actually canon, and it gives him an opportunity to live his life which was basically taken away from him by the Dragon King. He could actually train and learn martial arts with his own natural ability, and possibly fight for Earth in the next MK, 50 years from now. :)

yeah, if Shujinko survives the encounter, he could possibly make it to the Sanctum, mortally wounded that is. If someone would help him out...
The Shinnok idea was not thought through: why would a dead god help anybody. he's either utterly annihilated, or if he's alive, why wuold he feel sympathy for Jinko and help him?
Obliberate the Shujinko, and renew him.

If not Shinnok, what about Scorpion?
Scorpion is now the elder god's new champion (It's canon since it's in his profile, and profiles within the game are canon, but endings are not) So, since he's the elder god's champion and Raiden went crazy, mabye the elder god's could send Scorpion to beat down Raiden. Mabye Scorpion could jump into the fight between Raiden and Shujinko and fight Raiden while Shujinko gets away, or mabye Shujinko could help Scorpion defeat Raiden...
