Tryning to guess who will be the final boss...

They're not gonna do a time-jump so early,it spans 25 years its not set after 25 years,we're probably going through Shinnok,Onaga and Blaze all over again before we do a timeskip.
 
On topic though, I think it's gonna be Liu Kang. Somehow in the wars, Liu Kang is gonna come back to life. Shinnok is gonna do the same thing Shang Tsung did to Liu Kang in Legacy, convince him. Everyone is gonna be hella surprise that Liu Kang is back to life and with the dark side. Just a little predictions.

Anyones, if the story courses through 25 years I'm assuming we're going to see multple tournaments. I'm just overwhelmed with excitement here. The freshness of this game has got to be the highlight.

I doubt it's gonna be any tournament. So far, we know we're gonna get an invasion/war from Shinnok. If there is, it's not gonna be as big as the one Shao Kahn hosted.

Wasn't Shinnok's invasion a tournament in MK4?
Anyways back on topic i think it would make sense for Liu Kang to go evil but if he's gonna be the final boss i wonder why did he wait 25 years to come back and get revenge.

This is what I've been thinking since Ed said people won't see it coming. I've been trying to think of less obvious bad guys but maybe Liu gone bad is the amazing twist. Or perhaps he won't see his actions as bad. Maybe he becomes a bit like Dark Raiden and destorys any perceived threat, even if its a good guy for the good of Earth.

Depends on his intentions. He either has to observe the rules of Mortal Kombat and wait til the next generation is ready or if he just wants to commit some murder, he could do that... but we haven't seen any indication so far that that's his intentions.

That's exactly why we should rule out Shinnok,Onaga,Blaze and even Liu Kang.?

Shinnok- Immortal god. He was poised to take over at the end of MK9. Can't be ruled out.
Onaga - Immortal being. Quan Chi could still stumble upon his tomb and awaken him. Can't be ruled out.
Blaze - Immortal being.
All of those that you mentioned are immortal, even dead Liu Kang can be resurrected from the dead, 25 years later.

NONE of the characters that you mentioned are impossible to be the bad guy.

I meant that they coudn't be it just because in the Original Timeline it didn't take 25 years after MK3 for them to appear,so we can assume it won't this time aswell.Maybe Liu Kang is possible if there's someone to revive him.
 
Im thinking if the one being could be the big main bad as originally intended for armageddon? Then again it would fit the description 'a returning character'. Also it would be difficult to top him as a villain as he seems like the ultimate baddie, the root cause of all evil in the MK universe.

Who said that the villain would appear AFTER 25 years?
The MK X story is 25 years LONG.

How do you know that the villain isn't in control for 25 years, until someone finally stops him in the 25th year???
 
That's...actually a good theory,without Liu Kang to stop that threat its quite possible no one else can for quite some time.

Well if the original timeline was changed and events happened that didn't originally happen occurred, that means it is entirely possible for Onaga, Blaze and/or Shinnok to become a new boss due to new events.
 
I thought about it and Liu Kang being the main boss in the game wouldn't be a bad idea. Maybe he turned down a new path where he no longer cares about life and the protection of earth....though if this happens does that mean Shang Tsung will also be good? I must admit Liu Kang being neutral or evil would sure be interesting to see.
 
I'd find it pretty disappointing if Liu Kang turns out to be the the big bad :???:

To me he's always felt like kind of a place-holder hero, without much personality or purpose. Although, the circumstances of his death would make for a more compelling motive as a villain. I have a feeling that that story-line will be too temping for NRS to pass up, but if it has to happen I'd like it to be an early or mid-game drama, allowing for him to be redeemed and join the heroes to face the real big bad at the end.

Will it be Shinnok? Doubt it, MK9 spanned 3 tournaments with 3 'final battles' so the next upcoming villain will sure play a part but unlikely to be the big bad IMO.

As for the Deadly Alliance, the less said about that pathetic attempt at a big bad, the better.

Onaga felt like he had some potential, but not enough to be the MKX big bad. He seemed a bit too dumb somehow and I think the developers already revealed their preference for Shao Kahn to reassert his dominance in Taven's MKA story mode.

Blaze? Meh. A one-dimensional fire monster that might as well be from Power Rangers.

I'm holding out hope for Noob Saibot returning in some evolved, pure evil form, after being separated from Sub Zero. Either that, or, as much as this would surely annoy a lot of fans, some more good old fashioned Shao Kahn! He really is the ultimate MK big bad. Besides, Kahn's 'death' in MK9 kinda missed the mark for me. Eaten by cute little mini dragons? Puh-lease.
 
Almost definitely Liu Kang or Raiden or something like that.

I dont think there's going to be many reurners from post-mk3.

If you look at these new character designs they have something that sets them apart from post mk4-8 designs: They are all distinct, none of them are retreads, and they are all very high concept. Bug Lady, Big dude with a little person, offspring of familiar and popular characters. Super easy to figure out waht's going on with those guys.

I like many of the post mk3 characters, and i see why they are embraced around here as the under dogs and a part of the deeper mythology, but in general most of the characters mk4 and beyond are complete forgettable. The designs are increasingly bland and, more importantly, none of those games were any where near as popular as the first 3 and that makes all the difference

Tsung is still dead.

I'm thinking it will be Liu Kang. Hopefully Onaga and Blaze will have no role in this game. There is no reason to revisit any aspect of the 3-d era. Acknowledge MK4 and then move on into a brand new story.
