There is more than enough room from The tournament to Kahn's invasion for MKSM to have happened

But what about the major amount of contradictions it made to MK2?

That would mean Reptile, Scorpion, and any other bosses would be dead.

What about other established facts? Kung Lao only returned from a life of peace after MK3 to fight Goro in MK4 because he never got a chance to meet him before MK1 was over. And Goro was hiding in shame of his defeat after MK1 until MK4 where he came back out of the shadows now that Kahn was gone to form that truce with the centaurs.

And we know damn good and well that Baraka attacked the temple before Liu Kang got back to it.

the "shaolin academy" and the "shaolin temple" are two diffrent things,the monks fled from the acedemy to the temple to later get killed there.

Liu Kang returned from the tournament to find that Baraka and the Tarkata hordes had already killed all of the monks, with the sole exception of Kung Lao. He did not witness the fight, nor did he drive the hordes back.

his biography never stated that he didn't witness the fight,after liu kang has driven some of the tarakatan of the shaolin academy he went to the temple to "discover" that dispite his efforts to save them they died from other tarkatans who awaited them at the shaolin temple.(damn,the storyline is complicated)

Hey, LKH! Ever read the official MK2 Limited Edition comic book? They were drawn out by Tobias himself and I consider them completely canon. They aren't related to those non-canon Malibu comics in any way. You should get around to reading the MK1, MK2, and MK4 ones some time. (MK3 didn't have one) Nothing shoots them down as non-canon.

Here's that MK2 one you can read. They match up to bios perfectly. See what you think.

*sigh*

then all what happened in the comic happened after liu kang and kung lao escaped the island to the portal AND before the cutscene which has shown raiden giving them medals.

evil_emporer posted:
the shaolin monks died,in the cutscene there are shaolin monks


those are newly reqruited shaolin monks,poeple tend to join the shaolin monks every now and then,those are new joiners

evil_emporer posted:
sonya was at outworld in the comic,in the cutscene she was at the shaolin academy


sonya somehow escaped outworld by a portal to earthrealm and was to help earth warriors defend earth,but was later cought by baraka.

evil_emporer posted:
so the monks where killed,then new joiners rebuilt the shaolin academy and sonya escaped but was cought again.


yes

evil_emporer posted:
i never posted any of this


it is just a Q&A

evil_emporer posted:
but in the comic sub-zero met them,in mksm he met them again as if he didn't meet them before


a lin kui helicopter,get real,this is the lin kui that still uses bows and arrows and old temples even at mka,if they have a helicopter then they would also have guns and new tecknologie and such

evil_emporer posted:
but this comic is cannon


not 100%,some things can be still be uncannon.

evil_emporer posted:
what about scorpion protecting sub-zero


either he got fed up of procting him,or new sub-zero refused scorpion's protection and battled him to avange his brother and so scorpion saw why he shouldn't protect him anymore.

First of all, I would NEVER spell canon as "cannon". That's just stupid and I've gunned that down several times. And why the hell is my grammar so bad? lol

Now to go after your answers of impersonating my questions...

Well it is very, very, very unlikely that Sonya escaped and was caught again. Shang Tsung and them returned to Outworld in the end and Jax accidentally told Shang of her location. Then they both get captured at the same time...

I never got why the Lin Kuei went so primitive either. But obviously they had some type of technological knowledge in order to make cyborgs in MK3. The Lin Kuei from MK:DA and on was new anyways. And c'mon, did those fireballs in MK:A really shoot out of those things from mystical stuff? It seems like it but I'd just like to think of it like Latveria in Marvel. It looks ancient but has a bunch of techno stuff inside really.

The Scorpion theory isn't likely. When Scorpion mentioned in MK:SM "those I once called friend now want to kill me" or something like that, I think they were confusing him with the MK3 storyline and the cyborgs.

Monks can join new groups. But not THAT quickly. Go read an MK2 bio and try to make sense.


LOL@you trying to shoot down everything I could say just so in your mind every MK game is canon.

"After winning the Shaolin Tournament from Shang Tsung's clutches Kang returns to his temples. He discovers his sacred home in ruins, his Shaolin brothers killed in a vicious battle with a horde of Outworld warriors."

Let's review...

"After winning the Shaolin Tournament ... Kang returns to his temples."
No reference to an award ceremony, nor any contact with Baraka.

"He discovers..." Not witnesses or watches, or even battles fruitlessly against Baraka whilst.

"...vicious battle..." Not minor scuffle, jaunty fisticuffs or even jolly good punch-up.

MKSM does not fit into established continuity. If you really want it to share a continuity, have it in the same branch as MK vs DCU.
