well my question is what led to mk vs dc like how mkda led 2 mkd i think im a little confused how do u get from armageddon to this i like the way the game sounds but its to confusing wwhat do u think about the storyline ?

I am just asking for people to ponder what the storyline is.

The MK vs DCU game could appear anywhere on MK's timeline. Such as after MKA, or between MK1 and MK2, considering all of the fighters for MK are from MK1 (so far).

I don't think there will be any attempt to say "when" this happens MK-wise since it's not even canon.
But just for the sake of argument, Sub-Zero has a blue scar, that means it's after Deadly Alliance.

okay! i think that some sorcerer like shang tsung opened a portal to the dc universe causing a rip between both mk and dc

The sad part is, it would be incredibly easy to make this game canon and have it fall into the aftermath of Armageddon. I mean, c'mon, Armageddon ended with the kind of cataclysmic event that could possibly lead to the merging of the realms.

What if it's not in the storyline at all? Just some stuff that happened in an alt universe?

Hopefully there will be a Konquest to explain all of this...

The alternate universe is good, but really easy for them to do. They seem to be broadcasting the fact this is not a game to be a game, its a game with a point / plot / whatever.

Thats the lame story idea I am expecting but I dont care at all. Its just a fan service game for both sides, and their doesnt need to be a great story.

The story will probably be everybody got pissed at Mokap and beat the shit out of him and while dying he started imaging even more people in tights beating up each other and there is your story

I like the beat the shit out of Mokap part. I like it alot.

Thanks I think everybody does stupid dude covered in little balls not right at all what a waste Just watch he will be the final boss and when he is about to die He'll turn in to that balrog from lord of the rings with Boons head on it and will kill you

This thread would be so much more interesting if it were part of the core storyline. The MK team probably haven't been great at lying down basic fundamentals, but they bumble their way into plenty.

If you were to expand on 'cosmic instabilities in both universes' as the cause of the meeting, it's a simple hop, skip, and jump to tell the story.
Obviously you do it from the MK perspective because this is their turf, nad DC routinely deal with this kind of interdimensional tom foolery, so the rules are vague and less interesting.

I agree with segregating the game to the extent that you don't want to explore the specifics of post-Armageddon events, but obviously that game's story is broad enough to facilitate the 'instabilities' referred to.
Canonizing the One Being as an abstract opponent, rather than the villain some have believed "him" to be, means you can start to use established details as the basis of the story.

Before time there was the one being and the gods in nothingness >> the gods fractured the one being to create the universe >> the perfect balance was the six realms (represented by kamidogu).

From there you get a lot of spiritual mileage, redefining Shao Kahn as a cosmic component who threatens existence by his desire to merge realms -- because merging the six realms undoes existence and reconstitutes the abstract concept of the One Being (a force of nature, as opposed to a malicious consciousness).

The flipside, of course, is that by fracturing the realms beyond the six, you weaken the fabric of the universe -- enter the DCU.
You can be as vague as accounting for the smaller realms like Zaterra and Vaeternus and others we don't know about -- or cherry pick details from Armageddon, like the endings that suggested the birth of new realms, using them as key factors in destablizing the MKU.

Darkseid's fancy enough to find his way to a vulnerable reality (which might not have been detectable until now), and you're away on your crossover! Easy!
