[SPOILER] Everything about story mode. Pics, videos, discussion, etc.

In MKDA, all but FOUR endings were connected to each other...how many of those endings ended up being canon in the end?

I really doubt it, especially with how it looks like Jax dies there, too. I wouldn't take any of these endings as canon except for when they get into character backgrounds like Erron's.



I don't think that's how it works. It really looked like Quan Chi was the only capable of activating it.

It was just an example. MK story will always be cheesy cause gameplay comes first. The proof is that a teenager beats an elder God because she used the power of Love (LOL) while the God of thunder and many others fail.Her father also used the power of love and did the same thing (Double LOL). IMO all characters can come back as long as the demand for them is high.

Damn Liu Kang could use Shinnok's head in one of his variations for the next game.

I also believe that Shinnok will come back, but this is just my opinion.
 
Stop freaking out over endings, guys. Only 2/32 from MK9 ended up canon (and those 2 are debatable).

I have the game since Thursday since it was surprisingly available at my local gamestop shop. I played the story mode yesterday.

Spoiler:
It was completely unnecessary to purchase the comic. There has been nothing about the Kamidogu or the blood demon. The next thing I don't understand is the fact that Liu Kang, Kung Lao and Kitana are "alive" on the roster, yet they remain revenants through the whole story. Is that fan service only? This is the only thing that bothers me. Otherwise the story was great and beautiful.

You should have realized this from the start, because Kittelsen and many others stated this would be the case. Comic is its own story, game its own. They don't want people to have to buy both to get the full picture. They want each one to stand on its own.

Which 2 were they? Because Sektor's is undeniable.

Sektor and Smoke. I said Sektor's is debatable because we don't know if he killed his father to become Grandmaster. Smoke's I'm wrong on, I think; I thought we already knew he was an enenra before MK9, but I just checked the wiki and it seems not. If that's the case, then Smoke's is likely canon.
 
Am I the only one who doesn't mind and even likes the fact that Takeda x Jacqui seems to be a thing in the game (both in story and their battle intros)? It kinda surprised me at first.

It doesn't detract from the main story, it's not the main focus (read: Not Bioware) and doesn't feel any more forced or cheesy like the stereotypical Liu Kang x Kitana love story (that I could have seen coming from miles away).

Generally speaking, backstory information revealed in an ending is canon, regardless of whether or not the ending itself as it happened is canon. Examples include...

Scorpion (MK1; murdered by Sub-Zero and resurrected)
Sub-Zero (MK2; younger brother of MK1 Sub-Zero; also mentioned in Scorpion's ending)
Scorpion (MK2; killed the original Sub-Zero in MK1)
Kitana (MK2; parents were overthrown and killed by Shao Kahn)
Mileena (MK2; clone of Kitana created by Shang Tsung; also mentioned in Kitana's ending)
Sindel (MK3; mother of Kitana, true husband ruled Edenia but was killed by Shao Kahn; also mentioned in Kitana's ending)
Kabal (MK3; former member of the Black Dragon)
Tanya (MK4; while her bio suggests that her letting Quan Chi and Shinnok into Edenia was an accident, her actions in her ending clearly prove that this was no accident and she had betrayed her realm all along)
Quan Chi (MK4; gave Shinnok a counterfeit amulet and kept the original)
Scorpion (MK4; Sub-Zero was framed for the deaths of Scorpion's family and clan all along, the real killer being Quan Chi; was also mentioned in Mythologies, which was developed at the same time)
Noob Saibot (MKD; identity revealed as the original Sub-Zero from MK1)

Sektor was the Grandmaster when Sub-Zero killed him iirc. He did the same thing in the old timeline though, so it's safe to assume that Sektor's ending is completely canon.
 
I was just rewatching Chapter 3, and in the Jaqcui VS Sub-Zero match Sub-Zero taunts while they're fighting saying "Your father can dodge that!" :laugh::laugh::laugh:
 
Why dies Ermacs ending invokve hin getting his ass kicked. WTF NRS? If i play through as Ermac i dont want to sit and watch Shang Tsung return at the end, goddamnit.

Why do they always gotta bone ermac in the story, i just dont get it.

I hope he'll be of importance some day. He has King Jerrod and Shao Kahn's soul within him. Both of those could become a good plot-focus, mainly the latter. I was hoping the story would touch on one of those.

King Jerrod's soul inside of Ermac would give Kitana something to do. Surely there is a way to release the souls...
 
Yeah Ermac jobbed pretty hard in this game, even gets his ass whooped in his ending. That's something I'd expect out of Reptile lol.

It's disappointing considering how important Ermac was in the old timeline.

I would agree, but the same was also the case for MK9.
Both Jax & Kano and Shang Tsung & Liu Kang had related endings.

God damnit, Harpoon too quick with the facts :laugh:

The thing is, we have at least 5 endings that are part of, or are followups to Story Mode. At least 2 endings that look at characters and introduce new information. At least 3 endings that have outs to bring back characters. And at least one that ties up a loose end.

These endings aren't What-Ifs dependent on the characters beating Shinnok. Most of the playable characters don't die in them. I'm sure that of all the endings, those ones are surely going to bridge the gap to MK11 and other future stories.

I really cannot see them basically killing off Jax between games like that. Even if a lot of these "followups" to story mode, they still have a strong air of "what if?" around them.
