He was also originally the only one without a legitimate fatality because, at the time, they wanted him to be a pacifist monk who wouldn't kill.He was just always the least popular character in MK 1 & 2 days.
That was one hell of a scene. I was both incensed and bewilderingly impressed. Sindel turned into the beastiest beast who ever did beast. Snapping necks like chicken bones and punching dudes into next week. And then we got to see Nightwolf be legitimately awesome for maybe the first time ever.
NRS is pretty much the best at making story modes for their fighting games so this really doesn't make any sense.
He's still more predominant in MK 9's story mode than the ninjas. the ninjas are only side stories in MK9 and 10.
MK 10 focused, to its detriment., on the Cages and the Kombat Kids with the stupidest deus ex ending ever.
It's OK to say the story isn't good.... But it's a completely different stratosphere to go around claiming Mortal Kombat has a worse story than the stuff seen in Dead or Alive or Street Fighter.It makes perfect sense. The content the story mode provides isn't the same as the contintiniuity of the lore being good or well written.
Funny that you say that when the Kombat Kids, Erron Black, and Kotal Khan all could have fallen off fanfiction.netX was a million times more entertaining that the bloated, meandering, slog fest that was 9. X had actual intrigue, well developed factions, characters with arcs, and moved the world forward into a more interesting place.
9 could have been ripped from Fanfiction.net and no one would have been the wiser and is the worst MK story going from Deadly Alliance onwards. The best thing about it is how it jettisoned the established timeline and cleared the board for X, but it was a by the numbers bore to get there.
He seems to always have the most influence on the plot lol

Liu was/is always the main eventer. Cage was just a curtain jerker. Cage is the Miz of Mortal Kombat.
Sometimes the main eventers has to let the new talent shine. Hopefully the new MK has more sibling type characters in it.Not sure if you can say that when Liu was basically out of the picture for most of MKX and the Cage family had a much bigger role than ever before.
EMBRACE THE RUSH-JOB TO MURDER HALF THE CAST BECAUSE THERE WASN'T TIME FOR ANYTHING ELSEOH GOD NOW I'M HAVING TERRIBLE FLASHBACKS TO SINDEL IN MK9 KILLING EVERYONE
Wait what he was a zombie and now a revenant what ever that is lol? Is this real? Last mk I've played was mk2 lol
I thought this was cool at the time! I quickly adapted when he became just as blood thirsty as everyone else in MK2, but I liked his non-lethal fatality in MK1.He was also originally the only one without a legitimate fatality because, at the time, they wanted him to be a pacifist monk who wouldn't kill.
He just punched you really hard.
.... So is Scorpion? And Sub Zero? Shit, Scorp is literally the SF Ryu equivalent to MK that Liu initially was supposed to be in the very beginning.
Well now Liu Kang is undead and Scorpion is alive.In the end, he just wasn't as cool as an undead skeletal ninja with a metal chain who breathes fire. That was an uphill battle poor Liu Kang was destined to lose from the start.
Still no fire or chain tho :P
Zombie Liu Kang had chains, yes. (And also fireballs, but regular Liu Kang had that.)

One thing especially it die better is that X had halfway decent excuse for fights while 9 fight starts because it's a fighting game and another character made a shitty joke and it's fight timeX was a million times more entertaining than the bloated, meandering, and poorly written slog fest that was 9. X had actual intrigue, well developed factions, characters with arcs, and moved the world forward into a more interesting place. It's only failing was not leveraging the civil war as fully as it could have, as well as not giving Undead Kitana and Kang more to do.
