It does still count. Everything up until the day the first tournament began would still be the same. All character biographies (unless retconned by other sources) still apply. This means that [i]Mythologies[/i] and [i]Special Forces[/i] take place in both timelines, where they diverge at the start of the tournament. Therefore, Cage's biography still stands unless new information overrules it.

It wasn't a reboot; it was an in-universe timeline schism.
