Re: [SPOILER, RUMOR] Sub-Zero's identity in MKX is...
You're right that it may foreshadow events to come, or that it gives us details of potential developments, but I will ask you to think in terms of Sub-Zero and Scorpion. In MK9's Story Mode, we have seen what becomes of them. I can acknowledge the foreshadowing/character development argument for characters that we did not play as in story mode, but not for Sub-Zero and Scorpion, simply because their actual canon stories were explored in Story Mode. Scorpion still continues to be Quan Chi's pet, and CSZ dies.
And what I meant by your flawed points regarding endings from MK's 1-4, I mean you have your facts wrong. Scorpion DID vow to not HARM Kuai Liang/Sub-Zero and Scorpion did not believe this was the same Sub-Zero that murdered him/who he believed to have murdered his family. Quan Chi fed him some more bullshit that Kuai Liang was INVOLVED with the Lin Kuei's eradication, leading to Scorpion denouncing his vow that he made in MK2.
And I don't mean any disrespect either, but you can't get upset when someone disagrees with you/firmly stands by their stance. It's a debate for a reason.
It is shocking how little people actually read posts. I am aware that arcade endings are NOT canon. I have mentioned this in every post I made so far. That does NOT mean that they do not contain factual information regarding the future of the character in future MK games. This is how it has always been in mk games. The story progresses on its own path, but individual character developments may be hinted at in their individual endings. That is the point.
I'm sorry taj, no disrespect at all, but I can't fathom why this is such a difficult concept to grasp.
Think logically. Why would they even include arcade endings with such specific character developments or information if they didn't potentially have some bearing on the future of the character, or if not for simple foreshadowing to future story development for the next game in general? That is how it had always been. We know nothing about the next game other than basic info. One of us, or both of us, is right or wrong. We still find out in time.
In any case, it's clear that this topic has lost civility for most people, and again i sit here trying to figure out why I bothered trying to interact with an overly hostile mortal kombat community. So long kids, I tried.
