Just like how SPider-Man can stay beating opponents in the air continuously for long periods of time in Spider-Man 2. And I do think it's canon. At least until I get some real counter-canon material that says it's not. I swear, if I find out that Kenshi really didn't die by Quan Chi stabbing him and Shang Tsung smashing his chest cavity in, I am gonna pluck out every one of Boon's eyebrow hairs one by one!

evil_emporer posted:Because those characters have spots in the story before the battle happens. Even though that's the "intro", it's also very close to the ending of the game. How would we fight Sheeva in Konquest mode if her getting killed in the intro meant that she was unplayable? And I take it that only one of the endings will be canon anyways, so those "What if" endings for those seemingly dead characters can be disregarded.
iSub-Zero03 posted:In Konquest, Sheeva along with Li Mei, Havik, and Kintaro, was just an illusion made by Shinnok to test Taven's fighting abilities...just saying On another note, if the intro is canon, why does Blaze appear in front of everyone, instead of fighting Taven like in konquest? Armageddon *sigh*

Yeah, I think people are forgetting that you could impale your opponent in MKDA and they wouldn't die right on the spot. Well...that's true. But I don't see gameplay and the story the same way. Jax can shoot people with a machine gun in MK:DA, MK:A, and MK/DC as well, but I am not going to believe even GL or Flash in MK/DC or a lot of other MK characters could survive that for real. It just looks cool and provides damage that satisfies the players.
