What i want to know is what was Kuai Liang up to in the first MK, and even before that. Back then was there 2 Sub-Zeros at the same time, but Kuai Liang was just inactive? I could certainly see Kuai Liang talking about this and confessing over chinese tea if him and Scorpion rendezvous once more.

Kuai Liang went by the codename Tundra at the time and had no involvement in the first tournament. After Bi Han died, Tundra took up his brother's name and set out to investigate what happened.

Was aware of this but there must be a reason he didn't participate and it can't have anything to do with age because they're both equally skilled. In other words why was Bi-Han chosen by the Lin Kuei to represent them in MK1 and not Kuai Liang? Because i don't think it would come down to experience. Imagine if it was the opposite way and it was Kuai Liang that died and Bi-Han was the one fighting in his memory.

Bi-Han entered the first tournament because he has a contract to kill Shang Tsung. He was killed by Scorpion and the Kuai Liang entered the second tournament to complete his brothers task. He also met Scorpion but Scorpion let him live.

Again, i already knew this. I don't think people are getting the point i'm trying to make.

The Lin Kuei had an invitation to participate and they chose Bi-Han since he was their best assassin. They had a contract to kill Shang Tsung so they sent Bi-Han to the tournament to kill Shang Tsung.

Because Bi-Han was their best assassin at that point

But really it's Netherrealm, who the fuck knows at this point, as far as they're concerned, Sektor and Cyrax were at the tournament too and the Lin Kuei were there not to assassinate Tsung but eliminate the other Earthrealm competitors, which doesn't make any sense because if one of them beat Goro, the victory would go to Earth, not Outworld, that's the whole damn reason Bo Rai Cho never fought in the tournaments, because his Outworld birthright would make the victory go to them.

But I digress, you're just over thinking things and making them a bigger deal than they actually are. At the end of the day, there was a contract to kill Shang Tsung and it was given to Sub-Zero, not Tundra. If you wanna go the conspiracy theory route though, it's possible the contract was arranged by none other than Quan Chi as a way to lure him to his doom as payback for defeating him and Shinnok in Mythologies. Knowing that bald troll, I wouldn't put it past him.

I see your point. Maybe (in history) Tundra was on assignments that had absolutley nothing to do with Mortal Kombat, while Bi-Han did.

A scene at the end of Mythologies shows Shang Tsung personally hired Bi Han to kompete in MK. An the Lin Kuei weren't hired to win, just stop other Earthrealmers from winning. Pay attention to MK9's story, Shang rigged most of the matches.

Ka-Tra

(Back on topic) I'd rather see Sub-Zero have a brew with Noob Saibot more than anybody else. It would be good to see how Kuai Liang wishes to negotiate. Can't see it ever happening though.

I can see it now
