I assume they'd share the same cosmology when you get to things like Titans, right?
- 3,003

Elaborate?

The Titans exist outside of the "multiverse" (as in, the realms in a single timeline, like Earthrealm and Outworld). I think 11 and 1 retconned the Titans into always being there, even in the old timelines

Well it doesn’t really affect the Midway timeline, but cross scaling between MK11 and M1K titans should be fine.

Didn't MK9 continue the story of MK Armageddon before Raiden changing timeline?

I may or may not try a CRT to get every Armageddon key to Low 2-C/2-C lol :v

I think MK9 is considered a soft reboot for the series given how the games changed owners afterwards

Yeah the larger cosmology probably should be shared or reconciled since Kronika canonically oversaw all previous timelines including the Midway era and we know now that adaptations like the animated films and 95 movie exist as timelines in their own right

Wait, where was it stated?

Few places
intros reference it multiple times
It’s a plot point in the Sub-Zero animated movie that Kano killed Kronika and made his own timeline (this is again referenced in intros)
The Invasions mode shows Lambert’s Raiden as among many versions of the character who showed up to help face Dark Raiden.

Oh yeah, forgot about that
This franchise is a mess honestly. Btw, is the verse going to stay around tier 9 to 7 at the very best (aside from some tier 2 stuff) or is it possible we might have a higher tier?

I'm ... working on it.

I’d love higher but sadly I doubt it’ll ever happen

Spoiler Alert
Shao Kahn wanted to gain immortality via Shinnok's amulet. But to make the amulet work, he needed the power to drag a star from the heaven, or the power of a god (Raiden).

By "power", you mean energy the sun produces or...

Star level.

But, like, GBE or just heat energy it generates?
- 52,631

As in tier 4.
- 3,003
- 1,149
No, no, no, I meant would that warrant tier 4?
- 52,631
- 46,882
If he's gotta pull a star from the sky or have the power of a God, thet makes the latter tier 4.
- 3,003

Oh! Literally pulling a star, then yeah, that's fine.

Mmh so a pretty big upgrade. Any chance to get accepted?
