In my headcannon Raiden is the guy who joins Liu Kang. It just fits so perfectly as both of them were the ones who fought to the Deadly Alliance. They are the two protagonists, Raiden is the new human hero, and their combined power made everything possible. Deception and Deadly Alliance intros happening again, but this time with the good guys winning.
I’d prefer geras since he was with Liu Kang in the beginning and along Liu Kang are the only people who know the past timeline also raiden was on the final cutscene implying he definitely wasn’t in the battle
@Deathmare235 I don't understand how being in the final scene means they weren't in the final battle. Many heroes could've been in the final battle. Plus, I take the line "How we deafeated Shang Tsung" to imply those in that scene were in the final battle.
@@bladeplays6425 I’m pretty sure that the chosen characters weren’t even from the same timeline as Liu Kang’s, except for maybe geras but that’s headcanon
I chose Liu Kang the first time I did this, because I thought I was going to be him for the final battle. Didn’t know I was going to be an alternate Liu Kang fighting alongside him. 😆
In my opinion they were really lazy when it came down to the fighting and just copy and pasted the same fighting animation for any character you picked for cut scenes
OK, I am kind of sick of the constant time travel & "multiverse" stuff that seems to infect everything! (it's lazy IMO) But I have to admit, seeing all these alternate versions was kind of entertaining.
@@mochachino56exactly. The multiverse has been a thing in literally all of fiction for eons and now that it's become mainstream suddenly people are sick of it. Ridiculous
IIRC there is a dialog between smoke and Tania (or someone else) where they talk about how smoke stood up to Shang Tsung and Quanchi, i don't recall him fighitng them during any point of the campaign, so maybe he could be the canon character
bruv this makes no sense at all. like i saw at least 8 shang tsungs at liu kangs side and some evil sht like titan shao kahn they really didnt thought that through
Titan Shao Khan would've been no different than the previous Shao Khans of the past. lol. Would've been just as boring as Shang Tsung being the final villain for the 3rd time.
@@muhammadzulhelmi1662 look it up. The main antagonist of the dlc story will be Titan Havik. The same Havik in the after credit scene that finishes Jax.
Agreed, New Era Raiden is Liu Kang’s champion to protect Earthrealm and the one must win just like the when the original Raiden chosen Liu Kang to be his champion.
Why not just kill Shang Tsung outright? Kill him while he's destroying the hourglass or as he walks away. If only Onaga was the Villain behind everything. O right....Plot.
Shouldn’t Titan Shang Tsung have been massively OP and dominated Liu Kang? Remember he was the winner of his fight in MK11, meaning he has absorbed the power of “Timekeeper Thunder & Fire Titan Liu Kang” as well as Titan Kronica, Sindel, Shao Kahn, and the essence of Raiden and Fujin Logically it should have been no contest against Liu Kang?
@@sbro17 we can argue about that everyday but we just saw titans fighting titans with most of them stronger and weaker than most but they still hold their own, like Mime Cage and such.
@@herrdoctor2895 we don’t have to argue at all? I was just responding to your comment. I know what I saw I was asking if there was any insight to the logic behind it, I could very easily have missed something that someone else could fill in for me.
This ending was meant for raiden no cap... Think about it. In Deception, Raiden faced Quan Chi and Shang Tsung at the same time. He fought better than them but still lost. Instead, this humble, calm, and clear-headed Raiden was far superior to the titan Shang Tsung and the wandering sorcerer... A One message these MK games always have is that the bigger they are, the bigger the fall.
Why does liu kang says that he have some works todo in the cutscene after armageddon he was acctually not paying the bills on madam's bo restoran and saying that he has work to do.
I haven't got a chance to play this one yet but holy crap! Chaos and Mayhem or anything else I could usually use to describe something like this is just too tame I think I like it alot
I kinda wish the story did a better job of BEING a story… this one, above all others, felt so disconnected, segmented, and shallow. If Johnny Cage is the character that gets the most development of the cast (in his relation to Kenshi), something is probably amiss. Not that I should set my expectations high with MK as a fighting game, but still.
