In my headcannon Raiden is the guy who joins Liu Kang. It just fits so perfectly as both of them were the ones who fought to the Deadly Alliance. They are the two protagonists, Raiden is the new human hero, and their combined power made everything possible. Deception and Deadly Alliance intros happening again, but this time with the good guys winning.
I’d prefer geras since he was with Liu Kang in the beginning and along Liu Kang are the only people who know the past timeline also raiden was on the final cutscene implying he definitely wasn’t in the battle
@Deathmare235 I don't understand how being in the final scene means they weren't in the final battle. Many heroes could've been in the final battle. Plus, I take the line "How we deafeated Shang Tsung" to imply those in that scene were in the final battle.
@@bladeplays6425 I’m pretty sure that the chosen characters weren’t even from the same timeline as Liu Kang’s, except for maybe geras but that’s headcanon
It is Raiden who was there. You can see it in his arcade ending. It’s the only that talks about what happened. So yeah, it’s not just headcanon IT IS canon.
I chose Liu Kang the first time I did this, because I thought I was going to be him for the final battle. Didn’t know I was going to be an alternate Liu Kang fighting alongside him. 😆
@@muhammadzulhelmi1662 look it up. The main antagonist of the dlc story will be Titan Havik. The same Havik in the after credit scene that finishes Jax.
This ending was meant for raiden no cap... Think about it. In Deception, Raiden faced Quan Chi and Shang Tsung at the same time. He fought better than them but still lost. Instead, this humble, calm, and clear-headed Raiden was far superior to the titan Shang Tsung and the wandering sorcerer... A One message these MK games always have is that the bigger they are, the bigger the fall.
Agreed, New Era Raiden is Liu Kang’s champion to protect Earthrealm and the one must win just like the when the original Raiden chosen Liu Kang to be his champion.
Idk why but I realize that Liu Kang has seen this fight before when he was redoing history. Like he saw the Deadly Alliance kill him 2 timelines ago I wonder if he was any more ready for them this time
I haven't got a chance to play this one yet but holy crap! Chaos and Mayhem or anything else I could usually use to describe something like this is just too tame I think I like it alot
OK, I am kind of sick of the constant time travel & "multiverse" stuff that seems to infect everything! (it's lazy IMO) But I have to admit, seeing all these alternate versions was kind of entertaining.
@@mochachino56exactly. The multiverse has been a thing in literally all of fiction for eons and now that it's become mainstream suddenly people are sick of it. Ridiculous
Tbh if MK was wanting to do something fresh they went about it the wrong way. These characters are supposed to be millennia old (eternity in the case of gods and such) and you mean to tell me no interesting stories could be told in all that span?
Why does liu kang says that he have some works todo in the cutscene after armageddon he was acctually not paying the bills on madam's bo restoran and saying that he has work to do.
IIRC there is a dialog between smoke and Tania (or someone else) where they talk about how smoke stood up to Shang Tsung and Quanchi, i don't recall him fighitng them during any point of the campaign, so maybe he could be the canon character
In my opinion they were really lazy when it came down to the fighting and just copy and pasted the same fighting animation for any character you picked for cut scenes
Shouldn’t Titan Shang Tsung have been massively OP and dominated Liu Kang? Remember he was the winner of his fight in MK11, meaning he has absorbed the power of “Timekeeper Thunder & Fire Titan Liu Kang” as well as Titan Kronica, Sindel, Shao Kahn, and the essence of Raiden and Fujin Logically it should have been no contest against Liu Kang?
@@sbro17 we can argue about that everyday but we just saw titans fighting titans with most of them stronger and weaker than most but they still hold their own, like Mime Cage and such.

bruv this makes no sense at all. like i saw at least 8 shang tsungs at liu kangs side and some evil sht like titan shao kahn they really didnt thought that through
Titan Shao Khan would've been no different than the previous Shao Khans of the past. lol. Would've been just as boring as Shang Tsung being the final villain for the 3rd time.
This is easily the worst and best part of the whole story. here is just another boring cash grab part of the story of multiverse story and on the other hand we see Janette Cage, Ninja Mime and Johnny Cage and see some what if characters. Plus this is the only part of the whole game where you fight character with different characteristics and abilities every single time you play this part, so you're not really fighting the same character over and over again.

The best choice narrative wise is Gerus. Lui Kang tower ending, says he considers Gerus his successor.
Would’ve been 10x better if they just extended his chapter and let us fight shang as liu again
Same
Same here
Bro same
I know its to cutdown the boring fights but it looks like Raiden is just going around one-shot upper cuting everybody 🤣
Raiden is the One Punch Man of Mortal Kombat lol
That's what he's doing, though
Lore accurate Raiden
When raiden doesn't hold back
@@tatersalad76❤❤
All this happened cause Shang Tsung wasn't satisfied having his own timeline 😂
It actually cheks out. Shang Tsung always tries to go for more than he can handle, and it ends up blowing in his face.
God, this timeline is so wholesome.
Roles reversed with Liu Kang as protector of Earthrealm while Raiden as his apprentice and champion
6:22 Goro was definitely doing a "payback" thing there...
All they need to do is literally just one of them to hit shang tsun once. 😂
I believe Raiden is the best choice for this ending, he was portrayed as the main character the whole game. So thats why
Not only does it make sense. But actually, it WAS Raiden who fought here. He talks about it in his arcade ending.
In my opinion only Geras, Raiden, and regular Shang Tsung fit for this chapter.
It was Raiden who was canonically there. It talks about it in his arcade ending.
wait, at 9:04, were those good guy versions of shang tsung and quan chi?! damn this take on mortal kombat armegedon is the best version!
Have to say, RIP Mime Cage.
Ninja Mime actually.
Liu Kang's a beast. Plain and simple
I love how Kitana and Kueng Lou do the gibberish this time while Raiden goes "ARGH!"
So everybody that's evil is all mixed up. Except Jax.
would be funny if Evil Jax had, idk, metal legs or smth
I hope we get like a DLC story like we did with mortal kombat 11

I found somewhere that there were about 30-40 fusion fighters created just for this part.

12:19 raiden: cuz i am the most op character in the whole game
Shang tsung: WAIT WHA- *GETTING REKTED BY RAIDEN*
One thing I realized just now:
How do all the variants know who's on who's side and there's no incidents of "friendly fire"?
anyone that gets in their way to Shang tsung would be considered an enemy
7:54
Former thunder god Raiden: Thunder take you!
New Era Raiden: My thunder will take you.
6:47
Go get them, Kitana.
9:56
It all comes down to this.
They're all getting their steps in 😂
For me the characters that make the most sense to pick are raiden, mileena and geras... maybe Johnny cage
i will be posting them soon
Why ?
Replace Mileena with shao
Bros simping for mileena
I think scorpion also works.
That part where you run punch kenshi is always funny
LOL the story of the four heroes of Mortal Kombat X: From Heroes To Enemies defeated by Titan Kitana
Is this the same Raiden on Liu Kang's timeline?
Yes
1:10
"Fighting fire with fire."
Raiden & shao khan the only characters dat made sense to pick
Geras too
@@kaicoronas67facts
Nah Liu Kang is by far the best pick here, Liu Kang talking to Liu Kang is hilarious
I prefer Geras. I think of him and Liu Kang as being like the Anti Deadly Alliance
Agreed, New Era Raiden is Liu Kang’s champion to protect Earthrealm and the one must win just like the when the original Raiden chosen Liu Kang to be his champion.

Multiverse/time travel/dimensional hopping is common in fictional entertainment either in movies/games/books. MCU is just normalize it to normies.

The ones i headcanon are this one because of the new Raiden being the successor to mortal Liu Kang, or Shang Tsung as a way of earning his redemption
Is it me or is it sort of mirroring MK Deception In the opening cutscene where Raiden took on Shang Tsung and Quan Chi
Ok some of these guys might be fighting those on the same side as them
i feel Either Raiden Johnny cage or Geras make the most sense
Replace Johnny with shao
Suitable character for this chapter: Raiden, Kung Lao, Geras matched well
This just feels right
IIRC there is a dialog between smoke and Tania (or someone else) where they talk about how smoke stood up to Shang Tsung and Quanchi, i don't recall him fighitng them during any point of the campaign, so maybe he could be the canon character
instead of doing lame proton beam blasts they should've just kicked shang tsung in the balls
In my opinion they were really lazy when it came down to the fighting and just copy and pasted the same fighting animation for any character you picked for cut scenes
It’s going to be even more awesome when chaos reigns finally drops
wonder if raiden story is canon and the others are not canon unless they make it like mk 11 story canon lol

It's a nice gap to think about... But I like the fanon of saying that Geras takes care of his timeline just like Liu Kang's Geras.
Mirror Shang Tsung and Quan Chi. Cool
Barakion goes hard asf
I’ve come to believe that Raiden is the new main character
It's liu kang as always
