Not really, when you think about it all that Raiden accomplished in MK9 was to stop Shao Kahn from defeating Blaze and bringing about Armaggedon to the Realms, it didn't negate Armaggedon in the least, but gave the forces of light an advantage in the coming battle, that's all. Shinnok is still...

One way they I could see them get around that is to have Hotaru, the Dragon King's most loyal supporter because of the order he brought to the realms, to be somehow aware of the Prophecy and trick Reptile to serve as the Dragon King's vessel. While I wouldn't count on Onaga returning in MKX, I...

So Netherrealm's character designed sucked after they stopped introducing palette swaps? I've said so before, they could redeem most of these characters if they wanted because since because they're so bland you can easily to their backstories, that's what they did to the secret characters, so...

Nothing actually proves that Bi-Han killed Scorpion and repelled Quan Chi and Shinnok's army in the exact same way described in Mythologies, and that's pretty much Araknyd's point. I agree that it's the likeliest eventuality, I don't think they would recton the prelude of MKI for no apparent...

You made your point, you can't be proven wrong, but the same applies to those that think otherwise. It's an inpass. Tell you what, Boon made a cryptic reference to what seems to be Sareena, if she turns out to be in MKX and if she gets to interact with Bi Han, Kuai Liang or whoever this Sub...

No, it's meant for Araknyd. He's the one that brought this alternate timeline talk to the discussion.

Re: The Fatality Ideas are Brewing...lets hear what you Got!! Early MK9 Videos?! It made it to the final product.

Yeah sorry bro, but it's really up you to prove that the current timeline is different to the original timeline prior to Raiden's visions, rather than to say that it's possible and leaving us to prove the opposite. While we're at an impasse in this particular case, the general rule when...

I don't know really, I guess it's the combination of his unsettling appearance combined with his personality, as in he's not a preacher of evil but of chaos, I just personally thought that he was really refreshing to see, even more so than Meat and Drahmin.

Havik probably has the most appeal out of any 3D MK. He truly is one of the most unique characters ever seen in a fighting game and he has massive potential in both story and gameplay. It's not a question of if he should return, but when. And my answer is now. YES for Havik in MKX.

I just realized, aren't the Lin Kuei all Cyber Ninjas anyway. I mean, with both Sub Zero brothers AND Smoke out of commission, there's nobody left after MK9's ending with a motive to stop the cyber initiative and restore the clan to it's former self. So yeah, this Sub Zero is at least pretty...

At this point I'm open to all theories concerning this Sub Zero, except the one Ed Boon alluded to... The Lin Kuei now supposedly have "a sea of Sub Zeroes"?! Where the Netherrealm does that come from? I mean, talk about assassination of character, a glorious mantle shared between two brothers...

Yeah, I agree... I'm not against Araknyd's theory, but it's just that, a theory. He can't prove that this timeline is different to the other even before that Raiden received his first vision, more than I can prove him otherwise. I think we should move on to something else, I really don't think...

I'm beginning to think that the Lin Kuei were planning to play both sides, killing Tsung once he had payed them.

The retcon of the Lin Kuei's goal started in Mythologies it seems. In the ending of that game Shang Tsung is in the Lin Kuei fortress asking for Sub Zero's services in the tournament, so what happened there (I guess that was the point where the writing team changed). Also let's say for the sake...

But MKM:SZ takes place before the tournament happens. In fact Sub-Zero and the rest of the Lin Kuei are invited to Sheng Tsung's tournament the end of Mythology and thus before Raiden experiences his first vision. I mean what do you think Raiden was referencing with that quote about Bi Han...

I guess it would depend on the strength of Shinnok and Quan Chi's eventual allies or the power they gain through the story. If they're the main villains it seems unlikely that anything but an entirely new team of Earthrealm defenders might be able to stop them. I do see them being the ones...

That's unlikely, Aztec culture is notorious for the amount of Human Sacrifices that took place in their civilization. It's gonna take some great writing to make a character that draws influence from that to seem "neutral" let along good. If anything he's like a kindred spirit to Quan Chi and...

Takes one to know one, I guess. :) Seriously though, just give his wind clap move to Fujin or something, looked way too badass for such a terrible character.

Just because Frost uses ice like Sub Zero doesn't mean that it's impossible to come up with new variations that Sub Zero doesn't have. Prodigy: able to summon large stalagmites from the ground underneath the opponent, access to a unique Blizzard Rush teleport Spiteful: ability to use ice picks...
