....but i think mksm wasn't ment to follow the story line of mk2,you see,mksm began right after mk1 during the time mk2 happenned,but NOTHING ever said that it FOLLOWED the mk2 stoyline.

you see,i think mksm is a cannon mk game while it has an alternate storyline where the mksm stoyline is diffrent from the original mk storyline,so mksm can be cannon while it doesn't follow the original mk storyline.

assume that midway wanted to change mk2's storyline(naming it mksm) while they can still work on the original soryline(mka,mk9....etc)



this is just what i think(anything i said can be correct or incorrect)

There's a BIG difference between retconning a small point, and rewriting a fundamental part of the plot.

While Midway choose to work on games that follow the MK2 storyline, then MKSM is officially non-canon.

wrong,just becouse midway decided to work on the games following mk2 doesn't mean that midway won't continue on mksm storyline as well,also,mksm was never officially non-cannon,mksm will be non-cannon when midway say so.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't half the roster die in MKSM? For the reason that "it seemed more entertaining than to just have them run away." Doesn't this suggest... nay, prove... that MKSM was not intended as a new branch of storyline, but rather as a way for them to stall on producing MK Armageddon?

yes,have the roster did die,but that doesn't mean that it's not cannon.

you see,ANYONE can be resuructed.

any good guy can be revived the same way johney cage was.

and any bad guy can be revived the same way shao kahn was.

besides,what would mk be without entertainment,the worst part in mka konquest was the charectars running away.

and just becouse mksm had entertaining parts doesn't mean that it's non-cannon(all the games were meant to be entertaining although some aren't)

Right, if that's not enough to convince you of your lunacy...

It's non-canon because it contradicts other evidence.
E.G.
Noob-Smoke's MKD ending says that Noob Saibot and Sub-Zero had not seen each other since before Noob was killed, yet they meet in MKSM, and Sub-Zero is already aware of Noob's former life.

But my point is that the MKD ending is referencing something that predates MKII, namely the Elder Sub-Zero's death and rebirth. By changing this, MKSM has NO links whatsoever to ANY MK game's story, even MK1.

But it WAS meant to be MK2 over again. And MK2 itself does take place just after MK1. They just screwed it up a bunch.

that's what i have bean saying,mksm has nothing to do with the other mk games strylines,this doesn't make it non-cannon though.


the whole point of this is,people keep saying that there are countless amount of plotholes in the storyline becouse they thought that mksm had to match the original mk storyline,they thought mksm = mk2 storyline,WRONG.

mksm = it's own storyline.

i mean,realy,isn't it obvious that mksm had a diffrent storyline than mk2(even mileena survived and goro was there),so all these diffrent events weren't plotholes,they were just "diffrence in storyline".

Are you saying MKSM is an entirely different storyline?

MKSM is non-canon, and there are alot of contradictions in it. But the main idea is that is MK2.
