Vader only got a small conflict after he met Luke, and that wasn't shown in a really good way as both characters didn't meet that much in the trilogy. lol so you think the battle between the empire and rebels was minor? yeah ok..... and dude the whole father vs son was a huge sub plot of part 3 (or 6) of the trilogy.

"Fighting games never focus only in one story, in MK9, other characters, besides Raiden, had sub-plots in each chapter. Kotal Kahn would have already been introduced in some sort of way if he was actually going to be the protagonist, Raiden was the first one shown alongside Shao Kahn in MK9, your arguments make absolutely no sense."

so by that logic shouldnt scorpion and sub zero be the main hero and villain since they were teh first 2 characters shown in a trailer like SHao kahn and Raiden were in the MK9 reveal trailer? Shujinko wasnt the first revealed for Deception and no one was revealed for deadly alliance, yours is the argument that makes no sense here.

fighting games do have 1 over all story, the over all story for MK deception was shujunko stopping the dragon king, MK9 the main story was Raiden trying to fix armageddon, MK4 was Liu Kang and raiden trying to save the realms from SHinnok etc. the sub plot would be, the personal conflicts and interests like Kano and SOnya's quest to kill each other for example. Wrong, Star Wars' main plot was the war itself and how it turned Luke into a Jedi. Also, Scorpion and Sub-Zero are not the main hero or villain of the game, unlike Kahn, who has always been the final boss. The MK9 trailer had Protagonist VS Main Villain and Popular hero VS Popular villain. Shujinko wasn't the protagonist of the main plot, he was always in the background plot, a focus on him and how his actions resulted in the other events of the game. Deadly Alliance did not have an actual protagonist, its story is focused on various alliances, of course there was no trailer revealing characters.

And no, fighting games don't focus in one overall story, they have various plots that end up revealing themselves as one. What we saw in Mortal Kombat was merely Raiden's perspective as thes "reveal as one". You don't know how to analyse stories and plots, I'm really tired of arguing with you, because you don't even know what you're talking about.
