Fair enough. I was wondering why her profile just says higher.Rewinding time isn't an AP feat.
The ultimate power was about the Hourglass not one being.Does Shao Khan even know the One Being exists?
But the statement about it being the Ultimate Power comes from Shao Khan. He would only have a limited frame of reference.The ultimate power was about the Hourglass not one being.
Well he knew of Kronika so I wouldn't put it past him to have known of one being too.But the statement about it being the Ultimate Power comes from Shao Khan. He would only have a limited frame of reference.
The One Being's existence would be even more difficult to confirm than the Titan's. So that assumption doesn't work imo.wouldn't put it past him to have known of one being too.
No I was just thinking the Hourglass itself would scale higher not her.Yeah no trying to scale Midway stuff over to NRS stuff is close to impossible thanks to all the military grade retcons the series suffered with. As for Kronika physically scaling above the one being, do we even have confirmation about this because I don’t recall that being stated.
It wouldn't be, Onaga already knew of the one beings existence, along side shujinko later.The One Being's existence would be even more difficult to confirm than the Titan's. So that assumption doesn't work imo.
Not only are those character's pre-retcon, but Onaga told Shujinko about the One Being and is older than even Shao Khan and spent centuries planning his Deception. So assuming that Shao Khan post-retcon knows about the One Being just doesn't work imo.Onaga already knew of the one beings existence, along side shujinko later.
So we basically just consider these different games at this point then huh? Raiden memories recalled certain events but non existent because why not.Not only are those character's pre-retcon, but Onaga told Shujinko about the One Being and is older than even Shao Khan and spent centuries planning his Deception. So assuming that Shao Khan post-retcon knows about the One Being just doesn't work imo.
This makes no sense. The mk9 story ADDS to the lore that came before, it only replaces a few instances where they reconned a few things. Shujinko was still doing his thing, Taven was still sealed away, etc.MK being building level is because there was a CRT that got the original Pre-Armageddon timeline and the Post-Armageddon timeline seperated with neither being able to scale to the other. Dunno how much tier 6 stuff is in the series before MK9 happened but it can't return and be applied to any of our current profiles since they're all based on the current timelime (The Elder Gods profile just seems to have been ignored and left with the old scaling for some reason, pretty sure they're not meant to be tier 6 rn and are meant to be tier 8 to line up with the rest of the current timeline profiles), there's plans to eventually make profiles for the original timeline so those versions of the characters could maybe keep tier 6 stuff or something if it's legit.
I just have to add this. Kombat only gives permission to merge realms as that is a rule the EGs put in to play. Winning an MK tournament doesn't merge realms.Since starting this thread I've actually learned a lot of new stuff about the lore.
For instance, realm merging happens as a result of kombat. It's not anyone's power it's just the imbalance of negative and positive forces in the universe. Prevalent in every game. It started with furies, adopted into later games, armeggedon also has the concept and is the reason for the weakening of the realms it's because theirs conflict. Kronika is also trying to attain the perfect balance as well.
I do agree the hourglass shouldn't scale to anyone's physicals. But in the original crt it was decided that kronika scales above the one being due to the most recent Twitter quote from Dominic.
As for the older games, I have the scaling and I didn't know the raiden core shake happened from an ending. I don't thinknits possible to shake a planet with over time feats but there's other evidence like the extention of the dinosaurs reference and reptiles race.
He actually mentioned the Realms have no physical limits, so the Realms would be High 3-A or soWriters and producers stating different things on Twitter and interviews is also nothing new, iirc there were some tweets from Ed Boon in which he stated the realms are solar system-sized.
Yeah at best Shao is being influenced by the One Being subliminallyNot only are those character's pre-retcon, but Onaga told Shujinko about the One Being and is older than even Shao Khan and spent centuries planning his Deception. So assuming that Shao Khan post-retcon knows about the One Being just doesn't work imo.
I think it's mentioned the Titans are > One Being in outright power but I'll have to dig for that statementYeah no trying to scale Midway stuff over to NRS stuff is close to impossible thanks to all the military grade retcons the series suffered with. As for Kronika physically scaling above the one being, do we even have confirmation about this because I don’t recall that being stated.
Yeah it's basically Flashpoint, there's no reason it should affect certain things but it does anyway. I do think certain elements from the new games could b used for the Old Timeline (like MK11 Showing Zombie Liu vs Dark Raiden at Armageddon) but we need to split most elements because it's just irreconcilableAs I said, Netherrealm wanted to make their own world from scratch, so they used Raiden's ass-pull power as an exploit to perform a soft-reboot, but then did basically whatever they wanted.
The issue with this is this lets you scale everyone to everyone which kinda breaks all consistencyAnd sure, non-canon endings are non-canon, but they are examples of what could happen in canon. Furthermore, with Kronika and her power being a thing in MK lore now, they are also possible outcomes that DID happen canon, but were rewound in the countless times Kronika restarted time.
Well, lol, I'm here now. I'm probably one of the biggest Shao Kahn fans out there.As it is Mortal Kombat needs a lot of work (Shao specifically has a lot he needs on his profile)
Lmao well hit me up and I'll lay it downWell, lol, I'm here now. I'm probably one of the biggest Shao Kahn fans out there.
Yep I remember, Shao would thus gain Low Godly Regeneration/Resurrection via scaling to Raiden's stuff. He'd also get Life Force Absorption on a potentially planetary range (thanks to sapping the Vegetative energies of Outworld with Tobias stating he did the same to Edenia)It was said in the OG timeline that Raiden and Shao Kahn were of the same race. With the sudden change from Raiden being a "god" proper to a "demigod" this makes a lot of sense. One of the definitions of a demigod is that they were a mortal given divinity. That would fit Raiden perfectly in this new timeline, as would it fit Liu Kang. Shao Kahn having divinity at a time, but then losing it due to whatever would fill in some gaps.
Mortal Kombat 1 is a TRUE reboot. Liu is the only one who carries over. As far as we know right now, everything else has changed.Also dumb question, would the characters from MK1 get a new profile entirely from the "Midway Studios" and "NetherRealm Trilogy" ones? Save Liu Kang obviously since he's seemingly just the same guy
AS FG Liu is the same character, they should probably be all one profile. In multiple interviews now, Boon has stated that Liu remembers everything that came before.Ok so would Fire God Liu just be his own profile or on the Nrs Liu one?
Yes. For example, Raiden is mortal now and appears to be a reincarnation of the mortal Raiden who joined FG Liu at the end of time in MK11. Then there's Mileena having different origins for her Tarkatan heritage. Liu stays the same since it's him from MK11, as he points out in a round win line "The past guides me" in MK1Also dumb question, would the characters from MK1 get a new profile entirely from the "Midway Studios" and "NetherRealm Trilogy" ones? Save Liu Kang obviously since he's seemingly just the same guy
It's probably the latter since Raiden was transformed by the process. Not just him becoming Dark Raiden, but iirc he would be reborn as a god that was neither good nor evil and has no memories of his past life. Timeframe is unknown for the moment, but I recall Shujinko in his final Pai Mei looking ass stage in his "life cycle" encountering Dark Raiden and being trained by him in Konquest mode despite the latter having beef with him (wut?)Lmao well hit me up and I'll lay it down

To my memory the only time Shujinko has a scripted story encounter with Raiden is pre-death Raiden before MK1. Where he fights and defeats him, proving to Raiden that he's the champion of the Elder Gods and being allowed to go through the Earth Realm gate.him in Konquest mode despite the latter having beef with him (wut?)
Link to interview?AS FG Liu is the same character, they should probably be all one profile. In multiple interviews now, Boon has stated that Liu remembers everything that came before.
Here's the latest one that I've seen...
prolly via the HourglassLiu kang created big bang and started the new universe according to current mk1
According to mk1 the current threat of the verse is the threat to all of existence not just the earthrealm. Liu kang and kronika deserves to get low 2Cprolly via the Hourglass
