To me, big bad could simply refer to a really badass character who people really like. For example, if it wasn't so obvious that Scorpion would be in the game and if he hadn't been announced until now, I would bet he was the big bad, because he fits in that perfectly: he's so iconic to any MK fan that he's as "big" as the final boss, and probably even "bigger".

That's why I think Liu Kang has the same chances of being the big bad as the final boss. But now that you guys explained that to me, I understand why you think the final boss is the big bad.
