I'm glad you at least agree with me on something.

- Shinnok is so far the only legit character who we know for sure has great possibilities of being the big bad. He's the fallen elder god who has been making his plans all this time and is finally ready to realize his grand scheme. A perfectly fine pick for big bad in MKX. We knew that since MK9's ending. You seem to count the most obvious pick out, for some odd reason.

- Liu Kang:


 * He's always been the main good guy in the series. I just can't see him coming back and going apeshit on the good guys just because of Raiden's fuckup. It's a very childish thing to do, especially for a character such as Liu Kang. Not to mention counter-productive as hell.


 * Aside from the fact that he lacks the motivation for being the big bad, he also lacks the abilities. Sure, Liu Kang is a pretty tough dude, he beat almost every baddie in MK9, but I can't really see him as the big bad of a game like MKX. He doesn't measure up when you take into account big bads like Onaga, Shinnok, Blaze, or even Shao Kahn (gameplay wise).


 * It would the very predictable thing to do. Almost instantly after Ed Boon said the big bad for MKX would be a "fun surprise returning character" everyone thought Liu Kang. But when you really examine all of the possibilities, there's much better and more surprising picks than little old Liu Kang.

- Onaga is possible as well, I'm not gonna deny it. But how would anyone even pose a threat to him? He's been shown to take on Raiden, Quan Chi and Shang Tsung all at once and their combined efforts didn't do shit to him. Not even a scratch. He's just too OP in my opinion. Maybe, though. I'm not writing him off just yet.

- Cyrax: https://twitter.com/noobde/status/503231970298437632 I'm sorry, but this is a pretty obvious hint that Cyrax won't be in MKX.

- Kintaro just sucks. He's a copycat of the much more popular Goro, who is already in the game. And he looks like a freakin' tiger Shokan who breathes fire. Ridiculous.
