CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE KANG IS COOKIN'?


TURKEY



LOLOLOLOL










sorry.

I've always wondered what the trophy for winning Mortal Kombat actually was. The prize of course is immortality, but I really like the sash they gave him. I know that in Lui Kang's tomb it had 4 medallions, but I just always assumed that it ment he won Mortal Kombat 4 times.

Bo' Rai Cho... really? I'm loving everything about Kang, except his connection with Bo' Rai Cho.

I'm sure that connection won't lead to Liu farting and vomiting during matches. No worries.

Bo Rai Cho cameo?

Yes please.

That's called continuity.

Maybe one day you'll learn it. (Though more likely you'll just use "they're changing history" as an excuse not to, even though nothing has been changed at all yet, everything they've revealed so far is stuff that's still the same as it was the first time.)

Bo' Rai Cho being the guy who trained Liu Kang for MK1 has been part of the storyline since Bo' was introduced.

He taught him the Flying Kick, and the Flying Kick is the move Liu beats Shang with.

Is this really necessary? To a pretty innocuous comment, no less?

Drop the abrasive attitude. That's not a request.

I am glad Januari is almost over. That means Februari belongs to a character we know nothing about, gameplay wise. I honestly don't care who's next, but I do think it is fair that Raiden comes first, then Kahn and then Liu. - Can't wait for the dragon fatality.

- MK @ EVO
- Liu Confirmed and shown

A very good week.

Are you trying to bully me just 'cause you're a mod, Tony? Seriously? "Abrasive attitude" isn't against the rules, dude. I didn't blatantly insult him, I'm just expressing annoyance. And I'm well within my rights to be annoyed when someone doesn't know common knowledge parts of the story, and like half the people on this board answer every "that's always been canon, you should know that already" comment with "but they're changing everything, so nyah!"

It's perfectly reasonable to cut a frequently used excuse off at the pass before someone else can use it.

"Maybe one day you'll learn it"... yeah buddy, thanks for that lesson, i am no longer lost, i see the light... um anyway I for one am not found of Bo' Rai Cho. The man who farts taught Liu Kang... the idea of that is just silly. I was hoping NRS would stick to the original story from mk1-mk3 and not include him or anyone else from mkda-mka.

Well I'm sorry, but not liking something doesn't stop it from having happened. There is not a magical line between MK3 and MKDA where everything that happened in the old games counts, but everything that happened in the new games doesn't. It's all one single timeline, and this game isn't an actual reboot, it never has been, it's still taking place in that same timeline.

Here we go again.....

I dunno why there has to be internet drama. It wasn't a flame post, it's not like I'm mad, it was perfectly ordinary discussion of the storyline. I dunno when tone of voice became against the rules.

According to the storyline, he taught Liu Kang that move before MK1, so techniqually it is apart of the original story, it just got elaborated upon in more detail in Deadly Alliance. Not being fond of something doesn't change the fact that it happened in the story line. Of course, you're entitled to your opinion, but I think Bo'Rai Cho not being the stereotypical martial arts master, who has to be excessively mystical and serious, it's a nice touch, to each his own though.

That's a pretty petty thing to be annoyed about.....

All forms of annoyance are petty. That's why we call it "annoyed", not "angry", because it's only minor.

Again, this is pointless internet drama. It's childish and unnecessary to have a conversation about how mean I was to somebody in a post. Why are we talking about a poster's post, instead of about Liu Kang?

Speaking of, you'd think people would realize stuff from DA and Deception still counts when Kahn's bio mentioned his killing Onaga. And, y'know, the whole game being about preventing Armageddon. If MKDA-thru-A didn't exist, Armageddon wouldn't need preventing.

This is hands down the best he has ever looked IMO.... well aside from just black sweatpants and a bull cut.

Im really looking forward to beatnig the shit out of Lui Kang!!

I agree with you in regards to Bo'Rai Cho, but there's a more diplomatic approach to letting people know about the story elements. People would be more receptive to your posts that way, you know a lot about all the story elements perhaps a different approach? Not criticizing, just saying.


On topic, I really (can't believe I'm saying this) cannot wait to see Liu Kang in action this time and I'm never excited for Liu Kang, crazy stuff

Yea but I think that is only there for the part before Raiden sends the vision or whatever back to MK1 Raiden. From there on anything can happen. So basically after that vision is sent, in the "time" it is taking place in to prevent armageddon, Deadly Alliance and Deception technically haven't happened yet. The MK1 Raiden probably KNOWS that those two set of events WILL happen, but it hasn't happened yet.

If you get what I am saying. I 1% confused myself with that post of these two Raidens

Okay, yes, MKDA and Deception haven't happened yet...but we're now talking about things that were mentioned for the first time in DA and Deception...but that actually happened before MK1.

Another example would be, like, Mythologies. The game Mythologies came out after MK3, but it was a prequel, it happened before MK1. So Mythologies still happened in the MK9 version of things.

Raiden doesn't get the message from his future self until MK1, so everything that happened before MK1 still happened.

So Kamidogus and the One Being still exist and Shujinko is out there hunting for them, because he started way before Raiden got his message from the future. Onaga still existed and was killed by Kahn to get the throne of Outworld. Bo' Rai Cho still trained Liu. Shinnok's Amulet still exists and Sub-Zero still stole it and killed Scorpion and all that stuff. All these characters from the "newer" games were still born, they haven't been erased from the franchise just because they're not in this game. There will still be a Kenshi and a Frost and a Mavado and a Havik and all that stuff. They may sit this one out, but they're still real MK characters and they may easily return in sequels.

If it were a complete reboot, set in a new universe, fine, maybe some people who did exist in the old games wouldn't now. Maybe there would be no Bo' Rai Cho or Onaga or whoever. But this game is not like that. It's still set in the old MK universe. It's just time travel back to MK1.

I got what you were saying, but things like this COULD happen. I am not saying they will and I am not trying to say "your wrong" and all that but.

- Raiden could stop Shujinko
- Raiden knowing about the Deadly Alliance could save Liu Kang's life and never give us that terrible zombie version of him

etc. I am not trying to say that "oh Raiden knowing all of this stuff that happened could stop all evil" such as Sub-Zero ever trusting Frost since Raiden could wind up knowing what her true intentions were. I am just saying since Raiden has a decent connection to some of the other characters him knowing everything that happened could be pretty important to the game.

Well sure but that's a different conversation, really.

You're talking about Raiden stopping things that haven't happened yet.

I'm talking about things that have already happened and can't be changed. The fact that Bo' Rai Cho trained Liu is one of those things.

You know what i mean... No mention of Kung Lao being his ancestor
Last time I checked, MK4 is considered canon

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it didn't happen

Wah Wah Wah....
