More New MK: Shaolin Monks Videos Hit the Net

So is that him in the intro?

It can't be. I suppose you could say it's inconclusive since you see the younger Sub-Zero getting his trademark scar and the brothers look exactly the same otherwise, but it just wouldn't make sense for Scorpion to be fighting the younger brother in the first tournament. We all know he killed the original Sub-Zero in that one, which can only mean that the Sub-Zero we see him fighting in the opening movie is the original one.

Then what was Kung Lao doing there? He wasn't in MK1, either, yet he was still fighting before MK1 ended in the intro.

thats why he was in disguise, the mk team said they added it to make it look like he was hidden in the tourny, so he WAS in mk1, just never showed himself :wink:

These plot holes have always bothered me. Some others are the looks of the characters: Liu Kang was supposed to have short hair back then, Raiden was supposed to have worn his white outfit but without the blue thing, Scorpion and Sub-Zero's outfits during that era were supposed to have been far more simple, and Reptile was supposed to have been a humanoid back then rather than a reptilian. (In fact, one of the things that made him cool in my mind was the fact that he started out looking like a ninja just like the rest, but slowly devolved into a reptilian creature.) Plus, when Quan Chi appears at the end, he was supposed to have worn his MKM/MK4 costume, and did not have his tattoos or forehead jewel yet.

But here is the biggest problem I have: characters being killed off who appear later in the series, namely Jade, Baraka, Reptile, Goro, Kano, Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn. In that case, I hope the boss fatalities aren't canon.

Another continuity glitch, probably due to the team not doing their homework: introducing the concept that the souls of Outworld's dead go to the soul tombs, rather than to the Heavens or the Netherrealm. This poses a problem, because Milleena was supposed to have been killed in MK2, gone to the Netherrealm, made a deal with Shinnok, and resurrected in MK3. (And for that matter, Milleena was the one person who should have died, but did not!)

This game more fully of holes than a peace of Swiss cheese. But I still liked it though. The gameplay is very good.


Oh, by the way, Hi everyone. First post.
