When?O.o

Baraka and Liu Kang confirmed! Liu Kangs X-ray move is fucking awesome! Ermac X-ray too.

Though I didn't mention Stryker but we knew he was in it from the Mileena gameplay footage I posted a week ago.

Shenanigans!

Steal a character from the Killer Instinct series, MS owns that now I believe they are just more interested in avatars and kinnect games. Of course it would help if there was a KI game in the last 13 yeas or so that stopped then being associated with Nintendo consoles of past.

Then maybe you could use your avatar?

I also hereby demand a new KI game . . .

Liu Kangs bio from the official MK site.

"Orphaned at a very young age, Liu Kang was raised by Shaolin monks, who taught him the way of the spiritual warrior. They soon recognized his potential as a contender for the Mortal Kombat tournament and rigorously trained him for this task. Raiden, too, understood that Liu Kang was Earthrealm's best hope for freedom and introduced him to Master Bo' Rai Cho to further his development. Once fully trained, Liu Kang bested all challengers and earned the high honor of representing the Shaolin in the Mortal Kombat tournament. He and Raiden then embarked on their fateful journey to Shang Tsung's island to compete in this pivotal kontest."

I always thought Liu Kang was dead.

[Gradon]

Didn't he die in Deadly Alliance or something?
I can't remember, but I remember seeing a video of his death?

[nemesiswontdie]

Liu Kang died in Deadly Alliance, then he came back in Armageddon as a zombie (wtf?) and he returned in Shaolin Monks but thats ok because SM is a re-telling of MK2.

He is back in this game because this game is a re-telling of MK1-3.

In Armageddon Shao Kahn wins and is about to kill Raiden so Raiden sends a message to his past self (MK1) and tells him to do things differently so thats why Liu Kang is back.

So it's some sort of retcon right? That's what I didn't understand of this game, where it stands on the time line...

[Mr. Spencer]

See, I always thought that Liu Kang was one of MK's poster boys.

He is. Liu Kang, Sub-Zero and Scorpion (and my Raiden) are the poster boys of MK.

Both Mortal Kombat movies (the first one and Annihilation) are going to be released on Blu-Ray on April 19th (same day as MK9) and the first MK is going to have a code for Klassic Jade outfit.

I'll pick up the first MK movie since I like it. I refuse to watch the failed abortion that was Annihilation.

Thank you TRMK for the news.

[Beanovsky Durst]

I can't see why you hate Annihilation...

Oh, right. Now I remember. This movie was even worse than the RE ones.

[Dracarys]

I remember that happening to him 5 minutes in and thinking "What the hell?". But then the movie was utter tripe anyway so it didn't matter.

[Beanovsky Durst]

For starters, having a lot of unknowns replacing the cast from the first movie (which was fairly good for its time) = BAD MOVE.
