Surely he still had his power and skills - besides, I don't see it too far-fetched that Earthrealm warriors will retain their strength and abilities longer than the "average" human fighters. I'd imagine they can't really be compared even to the strongest warriors ever in real life, otherwise what'd be special about them?

To be honest this thread proved actually interesting enough to make me read through all of it, but in the last couple posts I kind of lost what's the point made, so sorry if I happen to miss it.

Yeah I'm expecting him to have the powers and skills. It's just that to me, Cassie, Jacqui, Kung Jin, and Takeda shouldn't have been as effective (this is because I never read the comics) because they didn't have the experience necessary when dealing with such enemies.

A parallel in real life to try comparing this would be driving on the road. Think about it: when you're 16 (or 18 in some states in the US) and first got your license, you should be the better driver compared to your parents because you're younger, you can see better, you can react faster, etc.

However, at the initial stage, your parents are still the better drivers compared to you because they've had so many years of driving experience, you have not.

I hope you can see what I'm getting at, Dragonspyne. It's for this reason that I'm still somewhat skeptical for Cassie beng able to beat Shinnok so easily.
