Wow, I need to get caught up here:

@Blitz: Yes, I think that Liu Kang should be in MKX. I'm not convinced that he died in MK9. Watch the end sequence when Raiden is done talking to Johnny and Sonya. Raiden teleports himself, Johnny, Sonya, and the body of Liu Kang. I think that's a bit too specific of an image for us to think that Liu Kang is dead. Plus, Raiden didn't make a huge deal about it being that Liu Kang "died". If he killed Liu Kang then he probably would've looked upward and yelled out "Noooo!" He's that kind of character.

Don't forget that Boon said that we'll be surprised about who will be the final boss.

Also, I don't think Liu Kang will even age. The winner of Mortal Kombat is supposed to become immortal or as long as he/she is grandchampion.

@Hooksword: Good point about the "champ". Every fighting game has Liu Kang in it in one way or another.

@Gamma: I was once in favor of Liu Kang being the big bad but I now seriously doubt it'll happen now. We'll probably see a sequence of Liu Kang and Raiden fight each other (probably a playable sequence as Raiden) and once Raiden wins we'll see Liu Kang release his final temper tantrum and apologize to Raiden, telling him that he was right about Shao Kahn.
