One slip up and it's over. I honestly stopped judging people by how powerful they are in the Mk universe a while ago. Part of it is preparation, but then everything is else is luck. Cassie was good and she was lucky and she saved the day. If that's true then she shouldn't be able to win the next MK war. She trained her whole life, but unlike Liu Kang she did not experience such formidable opponents and gained such experience, at least not in that magnitude.

The problem with luck is that eventually the streak runs out, especially in fights you don't expect. Liu Kang's ran out in the Deadly Alliance, Cassie Cage's will as well. I don't understand - we haven't seen the next MK war yet. I'm searching for your point, and missing it completely. You're right, the luck streak will eventually run out - but it hasn't yet. Is it really that hard to believe that she beat Shinnok? I just don't see Cassie is able to beat a god on the very first try. You can argue Liu Kang technically shouldn't have been able to either, but he at least had some experience in previous MK games against Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, and others. Cassie on the other has had so such experience and therefore should have been easily beaten by him, even if Shinnok's amulet was fake.

Didn't Cassie spend her entire life being trained by people like Kenshi, JC, Sonya, etc? Was she the one who fought Frost in the comics? Cassie was kidnapped and taken to Outworld. Unlike JC or Sonya who were slightly older than her in MK9, her parents knew of other worlds and made sure that when she was their age she would be more prepared than they were.
