Confusion regarding Liu Kang's death

Post by sazet_rey »

Guys, i have a confusion regarding Liu Kang's death..

In MK4 in Tanya's ending, it was shown that Tanya(being ordered by Shinnok) led Liu Kang to a cave, and there, Shinnok and Quan Chi attacked him. When Liu attacked Shinnok with his Flying kick, Shinnok's eyes blazed and he eventually killed Liu by his destructive ray from his eyes........

But in MK Deadly Alliance, it was shown that Shang Tsung and Quan Chi led a combined attacked on Liu and Tsung eventually killed Liu.....

Of this two concept which one did actualy happen????

In MK Deception and Mk Armageddon, Liu has been shown as Zombie....at the end of Deception, Liu got his spirit merged with his body, and in Armageddon, Liu is again shown as a zombie.....

Didn't the merging of Liu's spirit with his body affect the looks of his body? did he remained like a corpse(i.e. his body still remained decayed?) or later he just returned to normal, like he used to look earlier???

Please can anybody answer my questions?? I will be grateful..........

Many Many thanks in advance........

As you know, in some endings a person lives and in another ending that same person died. So ignore Tanya's ending. The MK: DA death, that was the real one. In MK: Deception, Liu Kang was like a bonus character. But in MK:A, that's when the true resurrection occurred. They just decided to keep the zombie form as his primary costume. I hope that answered your questions.

ok....so that means in the later versions, especially from MK v/s DC Universe Liu returned to normal form as he was before?? Is that right??

But again i have a question, at the end of Deception, his resurrection occurred, then how come Armageddon is the period of his resurrection??

Every Ending is a "What if scenario" and shouldn't be considerate canon. Tanya never ambushed Liu Kang at the end of Mortal Kombat 4.

Liu Kang was killed in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance by Quan Chi and Shang Tsung and was later resurrected by Dark Raiden.

Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe is a non canon game, you shouldn't merge its story line with the canon Mortal Kombat story. In terms of time frame, MK VS DC Universe takes place somewhere between Mortal Kombat II and Mortal Kombat 3, where Liu Kang was still alive.

@Gambid

Thanx buddy, but i have one more question left...It was said that Li was ressurected at the end of Deception, they how come is he still a zombie in armageddon, is it the corpse of liu kang with his own spirit or his corpse is attained by some other forces in armageddon??

moreover is he again returned to normal life in mortal kombat 9 like the way he was in MK4...or he still remained in that zombie look??

No MK9 is a remake of MK1,2,3. That meant that everything from MK4 and up never happened but will likely change. The body of Lui Kang is possibly possessed by something, but Lui Kang only lived as his spirit. Whatever is possessing Lui Kang as a zombie, I don't know.
Remember, we never saw Lui Kang reunite with his body, and MKvsDCU doesn't count but it's considered non canon. In MK9, Lui Kang haven't died yet, only when Raiden shocked his ass.

What happened before still happened, everyone dies. This remains canon. But with Raiden sending a message to himself in the past, Raiden from the past must fix things.

BTW we start uploading all Story mode videos, so see for yourself:
