Ridley Prime wrote: Liu Kang beat Shinnok in the original timeline (MK4) and no one really complained how a human was able to beat an Elder God then... The explanation for Cage's powers, although vague, is still more than we ever got for how Liu Kang was able to do all the shit that he could do (did we even learn how Liu got his fire powers?). Shinnok's demon form was also capable of being beaten by Bi-Han in Mythologies. More than anything I'd love an explanation for Liu's powers. For everyone's powers, really. And in the original timeline Liu was always the superior warrior to Johnny. And Kung Lao. And Jax. And Sonya. He was anything but just human; the Immortal Champion of Mortal Kombat. What's the point of having this big bad fallen Elder God villain if any Earthrealm defender can just waltz along and kick his shit in? Other than Raiden, Liu was the only one who made any sense.
