man i said he should be there, just not as a main hero anymore he had his time and it was awesome. But with a new beginning and all I really think that there should be someone new is all.

And the last thing you should be calling anyone on this board is not being a hardcore Mk fan, just cause they don't agree with your opionion on a certain subject doesn't mean there not hardcore Mk fans all right, why the heck would we be here if we weren't???


well in my opinion you can still be a hardcore mortal kombat fan even if you hate sindel, ermac, reptile, etc...

but liu kang is the champ, the hero and it was the main character of the story (even if sub zero and scorpion are the "fans" or ed boon favourites).

so I think the fans who understand and know the story of mortal kombat should value liu kang more because he was important until he turn in a stupid zombie with chains...what a stupid fate...

but I agree MK needs a new hero, I can only hope Liu Kang turns human like again by obtaining raiden lightning powers and so becoming the new thunder god, in that way he can live for many years and can move to edenia to live a life with kitana in peace alongside Sindel and Jerod, and open a dojo to teach young edenian people to fight. raiden would die of course and fujin would take his place as earth protector and guardian and become responsible to teach the new hero the way of mortal kombat

Agreed.

I mean, c'mon, it's been fifteen years. A successor to his spot is long overdue.

Okay, Midway, I suppose I can live with having an MK/DC crossover.
But you'd better include the Red & Black 'Mac Attack if it's to have even a shred of respectability.

Sub and Scorpion were never the main heroes of the series, though. That's what Liu Kang was, and now it's time to transition a new character into his place in MK8, preferably one who's still relatively new to the series.

Quite frankly, the storyline for all three has run dry.

i Don't really know who you would replace for Scorpion, but i could see a new member of the Lin Kuei clan stepping up, thing is Sub-Zero and Scorpion are easily the most reconizable characters in the Mk franchise so just tossing them aside is really hard for Midway to do. Liu is actually hated really really bad by some people

thats because they prefer sub zero and scorpion, powers, abilities/ skills costumes and colors to liu kang important role in MK universe.

I could care less what happens to Liu. I'm more interested in new characters that are introduced in MK8.

I consider myself a fan of MK even if I don,t like Liu Kang. The story is nice and caracter too but what I really like about the game is the concept of killing you ennemy at the end. At the begining of MK:DA when Shang Tsung kill Lui Kang was the best moment in the series i though they would put a new Hero, it wasn,t the case so IT IS TIME NOW !!!

I think Lui Kang should be the new Earth Realm protector , Kung Lao should become the new Hero and/or train new Earth warrior. Reiko should take the place of Shao Khan and search for Onaga who seems to have kill Shao Kahn at the begining of MK:A. Scorpion should become the new ruler of the Netherrealm. Shinnok and evil Raiden team up in bringning chaos.

I dont agree with your opinion in how things will happen, but the one I really hate is the fate you chose for scorpion.

scorpion cannot rule netherealm, in his ending in armageddon it's said quan chi ran away to netherealm with scorpion son which is now alive (as his wife and clan as well).

do you really think that after he save his son and take him back to earthrealm he will return to netherealm which is a discuting place?! please...

I see scorpion taking his son back home where he will teach him martial arts, will be the leader of his clan and will be a good husband. perhaps he turns a human.

you should never really consider any of the endings in MKA to be cannon..ever.

And Scorpion turning into a human from hell spectre is a rdicilous idea, it would kill the character we've all known for a looooong time

Scorpion is dead , he won,t find any peace until he kills Quan Chi and when it is done I don,t think he will rest in peace , I think his soul will come back again in the Netherrealm. During Mk4 Quand Chi said that it was because of him that Scorpion can go outside of the Netherrealm. So after MK:A Scorpion die again , return in the Netherrealm , now he is so mad that he finds enough people mad again Quan Chi , especially the oni Moloch and Drahmin. So he has somewhat of an army to search Quan Chi and make him pay.

No it wouldn't. If they turned Liu Kang into a zombie then there's nothing wrong with Scorpion being human. He stopped using the flaming breath fatality after MK4 any way. MK8 is a new start so If Scorpion is human, it won;t make a difference. His revenge storyline is getting old so he deserves to get what he wants.

because they aren't hardcore mortal kombat fans. They just play the games for fun, they didn't grow up with the series... and they don't know the story and history behind it.


alrighty man look u like lui good for you doesnt mean anyone who hates himm isnt a true fan i know the story and have followed the games from the start but it is his time to leave as a playeable make him a protector or something fine but step aside and put someone else in as hero
