Doesn't mention thic cybernetic upgrades is different from Cyber Lin Kuei upgrades, its comes from Kronika who upgrade her body.
 
Disagree with 2-C from the hourglass since its a stationary object in a specific location, also Kronika couldn't immediately use it from the beginning, it needed to be charged
 
Technically, it can be moved as shown with Erron Black dumping it into the Sea of Blood. It depends if the person can carry it casually or not.
 
So what's the conclusion here? We should end this quick tbh.

As for Hourglass being dumped to sea, we considering the arcade ending non-canon so i dunno if this work.

Heck, I would like to do Mk VS TES battles.
 
Not to knowledgeable about MK, but you list seems good for me Xtasy, but how about the 8-A? They became 8-B now?
 
Now, since Ed boon said only Raiden could maybe survive a bullet to the head, and Kano, who has fought everyone at somee point died from a gunshot to the head, it is safe to say all MK non-gods have 9-C piercing durability?

That doesn't make sense.
 
We don't use piercing durability

Secondly that's bullets in fiction (even walk levels should be bulletproof but they and Nukes often hurt people way above that)
 
You have to consider the fact that guns in the MK verse are stronger than guns in real life.

A real life handgun would make a very small wound compared to what guns in MK can actually do. Stryker's handgun destroys majority of a soldier's head and in Kano's death scene we see the bullet actually go all the way through his head and out creating a huge wound in the process.

And there's Kano's numerous wall busting feats.

I've rewatched some of the MK cutscenes and it seems that the guns only in the hands of "main characters" have as big force and impact.

In the hands of normal soliders the same weapon can deal lower and less visible injuries.

If you look at the video with Stryker that you've sended... a few seconds later Quan Chi horse gets shot down and you dont see that big wound.

In Mortal Kombat 11 Cassie was shooting normal goons but that never leaved as big wounds either.... I feel like the guns are somehow more powerful in the hands of main cast and the fact that they can take down (and hurt) other combatants with it, yet normal soliders with the same weapon cant (while directly hitting target) should be counted either as PIS or some sort of gun mastery?
 
Not to derail the gun discussion, but I want to bring this up before it gets implemented.

I disagree with Noob getting Mid-Godly Regenerationn. Raiden states that the past versions of the characters are from the time just before Kung Lao was killed by Shao Kah in MK9 . This was a fair bit before Noob was sucked into the soulnado, so it's more likely that he's just from the past than that he regenerated from it. Yeah, he says he can't die so easily when Hanzo references the event, but that was probably not meant to be taken that literally.
 
Before Kung Lao was killed by Shao Kahn... Bi-han was still... Bi-han (Sub-Zero).

If they were to bring him from that time, he would be just Sub-Zero not Noob.

Besides we've never saw him emerging from sand-time-tornado (or whatever you wanna call it) in the entire game. The fact that he can reference the event of soulnado (knows what's going on) and that we never saw him emerging from the time-portal... kinda suggests that he survived.
 
You might want to check again, because Kung Lao actually fought with Noob Bi-Ha before that, not Sub-Zero Bi-Han.

We also didn't see Wraith Scorpion come through the time sand tornado, but he was still there. Something happening off-screen doesn't mean it didn't happen. Futhermore, simply knowing about the soulnado event doesn't mean he couldn't have just been told by Kronika or someone else like everyone else was about their own futures.
 
But that's just a big speculation based on "this might have been the case" and "Kronika might have told him"... The keyword here is "might". We've never saw anyone telling him about the past or even a small hint of him being from the past to begin with.

Even Scorpion and Hanzo had a moment in which they've pointed out that Scorpion is from the past... If Noob was from the past, he would have showcased it in any shape of form... Either in story-mode or told someone about it during short cutscenes (in 1 vs 1 mode)

Everything seems to point out to the fact that he has simply survived soulnado.

It's a safer option to take someone's word as granted (in this case Noob) and give him ability based on that rather than base it on a big speculation without any solid proof.

What you're saying MIGHT be the case, but as of right now that one line from Noob is leaning towards the fact that he survived.

We could also ask Edd on twitter I guess.
 
I'd rather wait for MK11 comics or WoG explaining most of MK11's plot holes, plus there's a two year gap between MKX and MK11 so here's hoping that comics are gonna arrive.
 
@Meshifuari No, what I'm doing is extrapolating a more likely answer based off of already observed events and information. We know that characters from the past are being brought into the future (specifically from a point where Noob existed and was still alive), we know that those characters have had their furtures explained to them by other characters and we know that not everyone from the past was seen coming from the sand tornados. It's not a stretch to suggest that this is Noob Saibot from the past.

Meanwhile, we're suggesting giving Noob mid-godly regenaration based on the idea that he MIGHT have regenerated from his death at the hands of the soulnado, something we're never shown and can only be extrapolated from with a specific interpretation of a single line that's just an intimidating way of saying "you can't get rid of me that easily." I'm sorry to sound rude, but I just don't understand the kind of mental gymnastics required to get here.

Yeah, we never actually see Noob getting pulled from the past or having current events explained to him, nor do we have a conversation where the characters point out he's from the past. However, speaking as someone who aspires to be a writer, I can tell you that the story doesn't need to have that. You can trust the audience to make things out on their own, especially in a plot that revolves around characters from the past being brought into the future.

M8 they're just stormtroopers lol

Still my point is that low tier MK characters shouldn't be downgraded just because Kano died from a headshot.

Guns are very inconsistent in fiction anyways
 
Just looking back at the scaling chain, do you think Jade, Johnny and Kitana should not be 7-B?

It's because I have no idea how Jade and Kitana are strong enough to contend with the likes of Kotal and Shao (Jade vs Kotal seemed like a non serious fight seeing how Kotal wouldn't go all out on his waifu) plus Kitana didn't have anything on her that made her stronger than before.

And Johnny, despite beating an upgraded Sektor, got shot in the leg by Kano.
 
You guys know that God Liu defeating Kronika with soul crown and Cetrion's absorbed is also a half Pis, becasue he defeat her only because the time powers don't work on him and she was tired after wiping timelines to the dawn of time.And for the first time when she absorbed Cetrion it was shown that she is indeed more powerful than God Liu when he trow his firebol it was like nothing to her, but when she trown her attack on him Liu flying away.
 
Im fairly certain that anybody can beat anybody in mortal kombat at this point. Although the amount of people getting harmed by bullets and tanks is confusing.

For kronika, shouldnt the hour glass be low 2-C? Timelines plural was mentioned. However they have been explicitely described as being kronika resetting one timeline constantly and viewing them play out hence why the plural was used, and not actual seperate timelines in a 2-C fashion. It was the same phyical timeline, but different ways it can play out.

As for large planetary, can fatalities even be considered as cannon? Im pretty sure injustice is getting downgraded since their 5-A feats are only done in movesets. And fatalities dont even take place in story mode (at least not the planetary one). Also I dont see how holding a planet earth the size of a human head is planetary.
 
The abilities listed seems fine.

I shall explain the stuff i noted after some time:

First profiles will lose the original timeline key and use the current one since they became similar due to what Kronika has said in the story, the revenants might be weaker due to Shinnok being reduced as a head, Revenant Liu needed his other self power to fight Raiden.

Quan Chi manifesting a soulnado is a prep feat, which can't do normally, he was likely 7-B when against Raiden and Fujin, him being later weaker affected the Revenants.

Noob surviving it might be immortality by respawning later or Regenerationn, but its not explained which way in the story, Kronika saving him seems unlikely.

Rain, Sub and Tremor feats are just enviromental destruction, they also need time to set it up.

Note: The guests will scale according to their descriptions.
 
Im still not buying cetrions feat unless it was performed in cannon. Giving her large planetary for a fatality is like giving cyber smoke large planetary for destroying the earth violently in a fatality.
 
Cetrion is an Elder God. That shouldn't be much of an issue. Also, she's been giant sized everytime Raiden goes "I must consult with the Elder Gods".

Do elder gods have other planetary feats? Also I dont recall her ever being planet sized outside the fatality
 
Veloxt1r0kore said:
Sektor, Cyrax, and D'Vorah should be top too tbh
Being defeated doesn't mean they should scale otherwise the special forces kids would scale from Bi-Han by receiving a beatdown from him in X also both did not wanted to kill Cyrax, D'Vorah just used her poison and she lost to Jade.
 
It's PIS like regular Scorpion beating Kuai Liang and Raiden, she easily lost to Raiden, later Cassie [without inner power], Jade and retreated by regular Scorpion flames. Also, i'm unsure about Kotal fully scaling to Shao.
