I can't find the clip but I remember him saying to expect more descendants, although I consider some of those descendants to be in the figurative sense, gotta be.

Shujinko would have killed Raiden easily, he possesses all the Kombatants' powers including Raiden's. He even succeeded in doing what Raiden couldn't, killing the Dragon King.

Test your luck, definitely.

"Descendants" really is an odd term to use though, almost undescriptive, why not use "relatives"? I believe that Boon meant successor characters, some related by blood, others by function. If we are about to get more relatives to other characters then I'd like to have Reiko be Shao Kahn and...

Anybody feels that the gimmick of relatives replacing already established Kombatants is kinda cliche... It did work great for Sub Zero and might work to Cassie Cage's advantage, as long as they don't over do it. Hopefully some those "descendants" include successors w/o blood ties, like Kai...

Well that would explain the ludicrous size of her boobs, Quan Chi really is a sly bastard. :-P No need to bother, I know where the exit is.

NO, for Hsu Hao for the simple reason that he's so great, so polarizing, so appealing that he'd eclipse any other new character. I mean, how do you top a 6'6 Mongolian Brute cosplaying as a member of the Village people? The answer is, you just can't and I think NRS knows it.

The scar was assumed to be the way the Lin Kuei marked Kuai for death after he decided to leave the Clan in protest at the cyber initiative. However since neither Sub Zero betrayed the Lin Kuei in the new timeline, there's no scar. Kuai did have his scar in MKvsDC, but that game was not canon...

I don't think anybody had their hopes up for Jarek, best to sweep him under the rug. Kinda sad about Ashrah not (possibly) making the cut though. While I've always wanted a light elemental in MK, and found the whole story about the Kriss having some sort of mind control over her interesting...

The man that likes to tell others NO gets a YES in my book. Like MKShao_Kahn said, he's a very unique type of villain, if MKX is what it promises to be, we are in need of innovation above all else.

I really don't get the part with the heart though, what was the point of showing it, show off the new technology? Scorpion could have used his spear to get it or something, it just makes the fatality seem crumbersome, like two separate fatalities rolled into one.

Pretty good looking actually, I really love the way the facial expression changes as the face is falling down, that's really impressive. MKShao_Kahn Right on the money, the more the opponent suffers, the better the fatality is. I do remember Scorpion yelling at the top of his lungs when Kotal...

Meh, it's typical villain overconfidence. He probably felt that Scorpion wouldn't finish the job with doubt on his mind and that Kuai was weak enough to be at his mercy anyway.

I know he did, he even vowed to protect him, but it still felt very awkward to me how he seemed to blame Kuai singlehandedly for his Family's death in his MK4 ending. Ah screw it, we gave it more thought than the actual game makers did back then.

You're right that is kinda dumb, I was trying so hard to prove your argument was wrong that I forgot just how silly that was. One of the advantages of a forum is to have other people's perspective and insight to make you realise stuff you didn't on your own. But I still feel like there's other...

Good to see that the MK writers still have a fair bit of common sense. I guess it's all but official that "Kahn" is some sort of Regal title rather than a surname.

Jax and Sonya did, but Scorpion realized Kuai wasn't Bi Han almost straight away (difference with the original timeline), something that Kuai confirms right after in case he had doubts.

In mythologies he refers to Bi Han as being the murderer. In Scorpion's MK4 ending, he refers to Sub Zero as the (not one, the) murderer. I'm sorry but that's a plot point if I ever saw one, you're trying to rationalize it in order for it to make but there's not much to back it up. I mean...

After trowing his opponent, Kotal Kahn calls him a weakling in a condescending way, which I like for some reason. You know, something different than what I'd expect from a big brute like him.

This plot still wouldn't make sense in the new time line (just like it didn't in the old timeline) because Quan Chi makes it clear that it was in fact Bi-Han that supposedly killed Scorpion's family in his vision, he can't just do a full 180 and say "Oops sorry, wrong Sub Zero, my bad Scorps...
