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


sorry,my bad grin

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...


very very unlikely,but there are still "possibilaties"

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.


assumations ^^

there is a diffrence between puplic tecknologie and personal tecknologie,the lin kui can make cyborgs but they can't make guns or cross bows and they use catapults,and the lin kui where at that time after sub-zero,thinking that he killed older sub-zero(my assumation)

evil_emporer posted:
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.


no,the lin kui somehow thought he killed older sub-zero,his lin kui freinds are who he mentioned.

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


this is mortal kombat,where there are creatures that pull blades from inside their arms,and other creatures who have 4 arms,emperors who can make poeple young again,i wouldn't be surprized if something as strange as a speed rate of "50 monks joining/day" happened.

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


alright i'll tell you the truth,i have played mksm before mk2 and so i was not annoyed by how mksm didn't seem to match mk2,mksm is first mk game i realy enjoyed,fast gamplay,special boss battles,cutscenes for better storyline,free movement combat,impale,team special attacks,many fatalities,multalities,brutalities,if mksm is cannon we'll have better chance of mksm 2 being made.

oh yeah,and although i like dc,mk vs dc is too stupid to be canon grin

It makes saving Sonya and Kano all the less epic.

So they were like "WE'LL GIVE SEKTOR ROCKETS AND A FLAME THROWER AND SEEKING MISSLES AND BOMBS BUT WE WONT KNOW HOW TO USE ANY OF THIS TO MAKE BLASTERS!!!"? That's even more unlikely. Maybe the MK team forgot about it, but I'm sure the cyborg thing came off of the MK2 comic's technology references. And we didn't see much of the Lin Kuei in MKM:SZ either.

He did mention the Lin Kuei. But the only time they ever wanted to hunt him in the games were after the cyborg automation process he refused to be a part of. And how do you know that they were after him because they thought he killed his older brother? He was back at the Lin Kuei when his brother was killed at the Mortal Kombat tournament. In fact, his MK2 role was to assassinate Shang Tsung like his older brother was trying to do. That's never mentioned in MK:SM.

But Earthrealm is supposed to be just like Earth. There's a New York and everything. And Liu Kang traveled to Earthrealm immediately after he found out they were attacked. He did rebuild the academy in the games, but it was some time after his journeys. The first time we ever see anything about a new academy is in the MK4 official comic.

I like to look at MK:SM now as a completely alternate timeline of events. Like Age of Apocalypse in Marvel. That never happened but could have. Like we all know damn good and well that Kung Lao never beat Kahn. He actually got his ass handed to him BY Kahn in MK3. Liu Kang won those 4 wins alone and got those 4 title winnings. And all of that other jolly good contradicting and/or highly unlikely stuff.

Just try not to assume as much, K? I don't mind if you liked the game. MK:SM is my 2nd favorite MK game of all time thanks to its gameplay. But you can't simply try to defend it and try to find any way possible to make it canon, despite how far it is, just because of how awesome of a game it was. People would care less if MK:SF was canon because it wasn't that good of a game, but think about if it were better. Then you'd have some defenders.

Well, If you take all the games that were non-canon(example being MKSM, MK vs DC, Special Forces) Technically those could all fit together in there own seperate timeline that COULD work together, Making MKSM canon.

Wasn't Kahn alive in MK/DC? That proves something else.

Only his clone was in MK:DA. We can't be sure about the MK:A intro but you know what I mean.

I don't consider any MK's canon. I think every game is a collection of "what ifs" with just some overlaying details.

Actually, they do. They just come back eventually for some stupid reason.

Then you should be fine. There's barely contradictions in the real MK games.

The Shao Kahn/Clone thing was pretty stupid although they shouldn't lose such a valuable character.

It was indeed. And I also would have preferred if Goro really did die during MK:DA.
