Jason Lives! - May 4th - 3PM CDT - Official Stream Thread

Right now I don't remember the exact course of Deception konquest, but I think Shujinko isn't much older than the rest (psychically), or maybe he's even around the same age, more or less (given original timeline and considering that most of the events before MK1 in alternative timeline didn't change).

And why is that?

Because so far he is the one known mortal foreigner who has been to Chaosrealm and during Deception konquest it was revealed that Shujinko started to age faster than normally because of the Chaosrealm nature.

That would make the whole Deception konquest canon (which it really is, despite some inconsistencies) and explain the meeting between young Shujinko and Kenshi, and then Shujinko looking old, but Kenshi still looking around the same age.

I watched a playthrough of Konquest on YouTube earlier this month to get pumped for MKX (also watched MK9 story mode over again) and they never actually say this. In fact, Damashi and the narrator keep saying "many years" have passed between Shujinko's age-ups. Now, Damashi could be lying, of course. But the narrator?
 
I like MK Legacy. Sue me. :-D

He must have been supernaturally old in the original timeline, considering that Shujinko met him when he was around 20 years old and Kenshi was already a grown man who had wandered for years and been blinded by Shang Tsung. Then Shujinko ran into him just in time for Armageddon and we know how Kenshi looked then - the exact same.

But I'm guessing that's no longer a thing in the new timeline. :(
Shujinko was at his 40s and it was a few years before MK1. It was never canon Kenshi being thousands of years old.

So what?
They're paying homage to the character.

He only gets 15% back if he has full meter, which isn't very likely to happen at the end of the 2nd round, especially online.
Worst case scenario is 15%, best case scenario is 5%.
I'm pretty sure that online vs a very good Mileena, Sub-Zero or Erron Black, said Jason user will either be using 2 bars of meter for a braker as not to get their ass pummeled in a combo or be using EX moves to escape Erron Black's zoning.
I have NO issue with this homage, AT ALL.
The ethically right thing to do is ZERO percent online

Considering I asked at almost noon, and now it's past noon, about 2 PM... I think asking is perfectly legit. WTF is up.

For those having trouble finding JASON-

How to find Jason & Horror Pack Skins on PSN:

1. Make sure MKX is closed.

2. Go to Store.

3. Go down to Library.

4. Choose Games.

5. Find MKX (its alphabetically organized by default)

6. You'll come to a MKX overview page where you can start the game. Keep hitting down until you see a box that says "View All".

7. click on it, then you'll see boxes for every DLC item. If you purchased the Kombat Pack, Jason & the Horror Pack will have Free on them. Select each one to download.

That should be all you need. The files download & install very quickly. Feel free to reboot your console, but launch MKX. Go to character select & make sure Jason & the new skins for Ermac, Mileena & Reptile are available.

In most cases atm, you'll have the skins but it could take a couple hours to sync up to get Jason.
