Guys i have a question... When raiden receives the flashback, is it just of him dying, or ALL THE EVENTS leading up to armageddon? Because if its all of the events, kung lao COULD BE CHAMP. The reason im saying this is because Kung Lao doesnt wanna brawl unless he sees his people killed. So if he does see this from the flashback, then he could be like OH SHIT, I have to prevent this from happening, so he enters the tournament.

That could happen but i honestly think he would fail. I mean he almost died in Mk3 by shao khan and was killed in MKDA by shang tsung. I dont think he has the power to win the tournament.

Yeah that theory works too, but at the same time knowing the upcoming threat, he can initially train harder and shit like that.
Then again, he did that in deadly alliance (learned his spin kick) and still failed so i dont know LOL.

I have a hard time imagining Scorpion as the winner of Mortal Kombat. He's only there to defeat Sub-Zero, not save the rest of the realms, he could give two shits about anything aside from his revenge.
I think Kung Lao would be a good choice, just because he's got a darker, more diabolical side than Liu Kang, yet still in the tournament for the right reasons.
Sub also has a chance, just because he's there to accomplish his mission, assassinate Shang Tsung.
Kano isn't important enough on his own, however Jax could be the one, moving forward through the tournament past Kano's capture on an honorable/duty reason, same with Sonya.
Mileena would be fun, she could take over Kitana's spot on the throne of Edenia for offing her sister and let Baraka (though I was never a fan of there romantic story line) rule outworld, or vise-a-versa.
I still say let Goro win. Then he could take on Shao Kahn since the Shokan have fallen out of favor with the Emperor for the Centaurs, avoiding the merging of the realms and eliminating Kahn for good. That way we could move onto MK10, where Shinnok challenges Earth Realm to Mortal Kombat from the Neatherrealm, resulting in a slew of fun, demonic characters and an entirely new story arc devoid of the likes of Hotaru and useless kombatants.

Sub isnt down to assassinate shang tsung in this game bro, remember hes after scorpion for killing his brother? And yeah goro winning would be awesome, but if you think about it, goro was fighting for outworld in the first tournament, if it werent for him losing in the original timeline, the shokan would not have fallen out of favour. Youre probably stuck in original storyline thinking still
LOL.

Nah, just wishful hoping!
While I understand Subs is there for Scorpion first and foremost, I think that is just personal. Even with the story being different, neither would have a reason to be there without an ulterior motive so I have a feeling Sub is still assigned to to kill Tsung, even if it's just to follow up his brother's failure in doing so.
In regards to Goro winning, The original trilogy doesn't span much time, MK2 literally happened immediately following the Earthrealm tourny, and MK3 was already in place before the original in case Goro couldn't accomplish the task with Shang at the helm. They're literally like a years span total for all three. So for Goro to already see the betrayal of his race by Kahn isn't that far of a stretch
Still, all wishful thinking

Yeah but remember in the opening of sub zero's combo video, he clearly says that he unlike his brother does not care about the tournament, hes only there to face his brothers killer. I believe the exact quotes are "My brother participated in this folly... I DO SO ONLY TO FACE HIS KILLER"
And Shao Kahn wouldnt have fallen out of favour with the shokan if goro and kintaro didnt fail to kill liu kang, so i believe that shao kahn would have still used goro if he did win the tenth tournament, abandoning the MK3 plan obviously.

Alright, so here's my question. This game takes place during MK1-3.... So will we play through the events of MK1? wouldn't that mean we'd play as the original Sub Zero? I'm not understanding the story of this game. lol

That doesn't explain Scorpion being there... Either there are some major holes, or one of the two of them has more reasons to be there than the other ninja.
Scorpion wouldn't be there if it weren't to kill Sub-Zero, and likewise with Sub-Zero, so why meet at a remote island stuck between Earthrealm and Outworld, to compete in a tournament just to face each other. They could fight anywhere...
Yeah, it's annoying because the game can't really take place during all three without replacing them somewhere. Either MK1 has to happen then things change, or through MK2 and stuff goes down differently, or something along those lines. You can't have a tournament that spans all three, somewhere they have to deviate and say, "this is where the story starts..." Otherwise it doesn't make sense to be fighting in both realms concurrently. Somethings got to give somewhere for this to make sense, hopefully the MK team has worked it all out.Ricochetmatt said:

But doesn't Sub-Zero say something about his brother participating in the tournament and how he's there for revenge?
I can't remember the exact words.
If that's the case, this game must begin with the second tournament and just explain the events of the first tournament in a prologue or something.
Which I'm kinda "eh" about. If they're going back to the beginning you'd think they'd actually start with THE BEGINNING. lol
I wonder if Sonya will be Kahn's prisoner at the start of the game. Or if she'll be kidnapped at ALL in this time line.

Since i am a HUGE scorpion fan, and i think i could be speaking for other scorpion fans as well, i would HATE it if he won mortal kombat... i think it would ruin his story and the intense badass factor that he has.
Oh **** yeah you stomped me there brother... he says "My brother participated in this folly... I DO SO ONLY TO FACE HIS KILLER!!!"
Shit, im willing to just wait for story mode now instead of going crazy with theories LOL. Please dont disappoint us MK team!!!
I remember i said something like, if scorpions chapter in story mode comes before sub zero's, then they could have you fighting sub zero (the original one) and killing him and then later on in story mode, you play as younger sub zero in his chapter, cuz he takes his brothers identity and appearance.

I always kind of though that it would be sonya who won the tournament ever since MK1. she is the resident american in an american game. personally I think that would be a welcome change she has always been one of the better characters and it would just be cool to have a chick champ.

Yep, and I also highly doubt he even gives a crap about winning and just wants to get at Sub-Zero, anyways.

what if it was Baraka that won and it spawned a whole new even darker chapter in the mk timeline. oooooooooohhhh scaaaaryyy. or maybe Sheeva and she starts a tournament for only the shokahn. or maybe kano. and he invites only the most ruthless undergroun...... whoops that was rebirth's idea. but you get the point

but shang tsung keep regaing his powers cause of his unlimted supply of souls
that can't happen cause sheeva and baraka are representing outworld and kano would be champion of earthrealm but he will never defend earthrealm so that wont happen.
@Taj Gill i agree with you bro, it wouldnt look right if scorpion would win the tornament. and i think it wouldnt look right if kung lao won as well, i think they should just stick with Liu Kang being champion OR kung lao wins the 1st tornament and Liu kang defeats shao kahn for kung lao and take his place as the true Earthrealm champion
and the reason why scorpion is there because he thinks sub zero is the OG(orginal) sub zero
and i think his gameplay video takes place in mk2(since there in outworld) and in that video scorpion realizes that he isnt the OG sub zero
well thats what i think

yeah that works with the sub zero, scorpion thing, i forgot theyre in kahns arena, which must be outworld, which would therefore be MK2... so my theory about killing original sub zero works in story mode then. and you mentioned the soulnado thing, i completely forgot about that man! Kung lao MAY be able to beat shang tsung now, cuz he wont have that now! The theory works, thanks man.
And yo, edit your posts and make them into one post, the moderators hate double/triple posting.

- Thank You, K1LLKANO, TRMK Staff. it was a hypothetical scenario to get this post away from the whole scorpion notion I put out there.
it will be Kung lao I'm sure of it. who else except Raiden? scorpion was a proverbial long shot and Lui Kang won all o the past tourneys and we still lost earthrealm.
