"The idea that the forces of Outworld must win the Mortal Kombat tournament ten consecutive times in order to invade Earthrealm was taken directly from the film."

This is NOT true. The 10 tournaments rule was first mentioned in the "Mortal Kombat II Collector's Edition Comic Book" (the official, canon comic book that they gave out for the game's release).

On page 13, the younger Sub-Zero says:

"We were picking up very high gammatronic readings in this area, indicating a portal opening. We thought maybe Goro won the tournament... You know the myths -- Ten wins in a row all hell is gonna come through a portal."
