	Just give me the right questions and I will provide feedback as to why I know MK:SM is non-canon. Because if it really is, then so help me MK2 and MK3 did not exist. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E. WARNING: 95% OF MY POSTS ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

	That could or cold not be canon. Nothing says THAT part isn't. One thing that gets me is that they never included a key part of the story where Scoepion sees Sub-Zero sparing a fighter their life back and then swearing to be protector of the younger Sub-Zero. With that, he ha to go back and rest in Hell until Shao Kahn's mrge in MK3 continued to UMK3. Never mentioned... -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E.

	Kung Lao isn`t arrogant or resentful of Liu Kang. Kang isn`t naive. Jade`s alive. Reptile hasn`t degenerated or lost his human skin. Goro had gone into hiding. Many characters that died in Shaolin Monks were in MKII or MKIII. -----signature----- Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog! True Blue Cage fan!

	Exactly. And the irony in the deaths is that in the real MK2 story, Mileena is the only one we really know about who died by being killed by Mileena. She was one of the few people in the game that you fight who didn't die. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E. WARNING: 95% OF MY POSTS ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

	it wasn't meant to follow the exact same storyline of mk2. as for the charectars that died,they can be revived by anyway,this is mortal kombat after all,anything can happen so why would someone being revived be such a big deal. and only,and i mean ONLY midway(the ones who made mk) is to decide wether it is canon,not us(simple fans of mk). -----signature----- winner of "Recluse's SAW games" and "the hounted hotel game" please join www.mknexusonline.com i am working on 2 mk projects,a forum game and an rpg game "mortal kombat isn't about death,but life" that means who dies in mortal kombat l

It was a level remake. Of course they needed that. And yes, Liu Kang defeated Shao Kahn. But I would like to believe it was alone. You never heard anything about Kung Lao doing squat in MK history beating Shao Kahn. Kung Lao was only threw into MK:SM for 2-player mode. And Shao Kahn actually dying too was retarded. Or atleast the turning to stone and crap. Then Kitana gaining Outworld and going to rebuild it? They made Outworld sound like all it was was a corrupted Edenia. Outworld IS NOT Edenia. And Sindel never got it back until the MK3 invasion was over. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E. WARNING: 95% OF MY POSTS ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

And okay, those people could have been revived. But you would've heard a lot more about that in the other MK games following MK2. Like all of them wanting revenge on Liu Kang and Kung Lao for killing them. It was just stupid. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E.

Like all of them wanting revenge on Liu Kang and Kung Lao for killing them. It was just stupid. You got that right! I mean, don't get me wrong, MK:SM was a fun game to play, but they really should have done the story more in keeping with what ACTUALLY happened in MK chronology. You can't tell me that this story is canon with the amount of characters who were killed (then later ALL revived? WTF?) and with Kung Lao being such an arrogant a-hole when he's not in ANY of the other MKs he appears in. He's too in tune with his spiritual side for that. By doing this they tainted the wonderfully complex story that the original designers (like John Tobias) had already established. Again, I liked the concept of the game; I just don't like ANY retconning or storytelling "that doesn't exist in the established canon story". -----signature----- The difference between genius and insanity is measured only by success.

	I'm sure if I were writing it, the story would have turned out far more accurate than it was. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E.

	evil_emporer posted: I'm sure if I were writing it, the story would have turned out far more accurate than it was. Same with me! In fact, I'm not even sure Kung Lao would have been in the story from the start if I was writing it. I would have had Liu meet up with him after discovering the monks murdered. Lao would have been away meditating (hence why he wasn't bald like all the other monks). But I wouldn't have changed a single aspect of what was already established by the creators. My only changes would have been the conjoining aspects to get the characters into MK2. -----signature----- The difference between genius and insanity is measured only by success.

	That was also pretty screwed up. The story says that the monks had already been attacked and the place was left in ruins by the time Liu Kang returned from the fight against Shang Tsung. I wouldn't have minded if Liu Kang had fought a few of the lingering tarkatans left from after the attack, but not being there when the attack occured. And characters like Jax were completely not exploited enough. Even characters like Jade who weren't even prominent in MK2 got bigger roles than him. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E.

	Yeah it's Non Canon, Shaolin monks is it's own story that supposedly takes place around MK2. They only thing they made canon about this Liu Kang and Kung Lao small rivalry. They made this canon for Armageddon and Kung Lao's ending -----signature----- Like it or not. Liu Kang will be in MK9 He is still the champion even if he's undead

	No. It's a failed MK2 remake. I'm sure. That was the whole plot. It just failed at telling it. And Kung Lao's MK:A ending only reveals their small rivalry. But nothing too MK:SM-ish. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E. WARNING: 95% OF MY POSTS ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. You know how we have that little voice in our heads?

	The rivalry was referenced from SHaolin Monks I mean. Before all of that.. Kung Lao only fought when he needed to. I don;t even think he had a personal rivalry Liu Kang up till now -----signature----- Like it or not. Liu Kang will be in MK9 He is still the champion even if he's undead
