Liu Kang as an Oni will definitely give him a completely new gameplay style.

I think he'll be a mix of his old style and Moloch's ( only playable oni out there )

Having Liu Kang being an oni will give him enough physical power to challenge Raiden ( considering if he's anywhere near as big as Moloch )

If compare Moloch to all the physically powerful characters that include Goro, Sheeva, Kintaro, Shao Kahn, Onaga, Blaze, Motaru and others I can't remember on hand; he's up there at the level of Goro, Kintaro, Onaga, Shao Kahn, and Blaze.

If we have Liu Kang being this powerful and be an unexpected boss like I think he will be; We'll probably have a more interesting boss than Goro, Kintaro, and Shao Kahn from MK9. You'll know why I think this if you read the second sentence.

Detailed speculation on gameplay style for Oni Liu Kang: a semi quick oni who uses both quick martial arts attacks and powerful strength based attacks. Oni Liu Kang also uses the powers he learned at the Wu Shi Academy ( i think that's where he learned fire abilities ) to summon fire out of his hands. Oni Liu Kang also possesses thick chains and hooks that are wrapped around his arms.

The only problem I have with Liu Kang becoming a big and powerful oni is that I don't think he'll be able to perform his signature bicycle kick. That's apart of why we MK fans love Liu Kang.
