They eventually picked up on Zombie Lui Kang, but not in that way. The game ends with a single soul flying out of Shang Tsung's body and inhabiting the dead body of Kano, which stands up and challenges Quan Chi to mortal kombat, as Quan Chi realizes it's Lui Kang resurrected. Quan Chi, alone with the amulet of Shinnok and the Dragon King's army, has essentially won, with nobody left in any of the realms to challenge him. Then, quan chi betrays Shang Tsung and kills him as well, which causes every soul Shang Tsung has ever stolen to explode out of his body. In that ending, Shang Tsung and Quan Chi betray Kano at the end and kill him.

It's the best cliffhanger in the entire series and it never got picked up, because it was considered non-cannon. My absolute favorite ending in all of MK comes from Quan Chi's ending to Deadly Alliance. One of the most iconic duos in all of gaming.Īlso, one more props for my favorite MK character - Sub Zero is the only character to appear in every single Mortal Kombat game.Īlso, speaking of individual endings, I hated when some of the better endings would get written out as non-cannon. The few times they really, truly team up in the series is always awesome. It was supposed to be a sequel to Shaolin Monks, retelling MK 1-4 from the perspective of Scorpion and Sub-Zero, ending with their alliance to take down Quan Chi and shinnok. Speaking of Sub-Zero's story, I wish they would have made Fire and Ice.

A female sub-zero would be so fucking awesome. I've been waiting for her to take up the mantle of Sub-Zero for so many years now. She was such a wasted character in the original timeline, where she can be something actually special in this new timeline. I hope the next installment revolves around him and his relationship with his apprentice, Frost. Watching him bury the hatchet with Scorpion in MKX, and admit that, yes, the Lin Keui accepts responsibility, all in the name of the greater good was awesome. Sub Zero is one badass character over the series evolution, he's always been my favorite. Meanwhile, in the original timeline, he became the actual main hero of the series after Lui Kang's death, forming the earth alliance and turning the Lin Keui from a clan of ruthless assassins into defenders of earth. Unlike every other character, including Raiden and Lui Kang, the younger sub zero never really turns, save for a very brief moment in MK9 when he's literally under quan chi's control. Sub-Zero, the younger one especially, is the closest MK ever gets to having a true, virtuous, moral hero. There is also another false clue for rain, where occasionally, before rounds, a message will appear, and one of them is 'Rain can be found in the Graveyard.' Again, Rain is NOT in UMK3, there are red herrings. Rain is at 22 seconds, fighting Shao Kahn on an impossible background (Shao Kahn can't be fought on the blue portal). It's impossible to ever play as Noob Saibot in the arcade version of UMK3, or perform a fatality on him.

Like it showed Noob Saibot having a fatality performed on him, implying he was a playable character. It was a way to get people to pump in more quarters thinking there was something else to unlock.Īfter people complained that it was bullshit, not really getting the joke, they added him in to the Sega Genesis and SNES ports of UMK3, and he's been a staple ever since.ĮDIT: THat intro had other lies, too. He was just a joke thrown into the intro to UMK3 to get people to look for a secret that didn't exist.
