I think it's kind of unfair for you to say that "No one liked Cyber Sub-Zero at all" because some of us did like him. However, I don't disagree with you about the majority of the fans wanted a human Sub-Zero. I thought Cyber Sub-Zero was a really cool twist to the story but was semi-reconned in the next game which corrected what the majority of people would've called a mistake. I think that's the big reason why Sub-Zero and Cyber Sub-Zero were separate selections in MK9. The developers wanted to feel it out while having a degree of separation so that if it wasn't well received then the Cyber version can be whiped off the table as though it was spilt coffee. Personally, like I said before, I liked Cyber Sub-Zero but I do prefer human Sub-Zero.

I agree completely. It was a nice twist, and it gave us Human Smoke, showing how things change if the timeline is altered. Other examples are Ermac, Sindel and Cyrax never turning good, Shang being dead before he could mak the Deadly Alliance, Shao dying so a new ruler could take his place.

You know, till MK9, I though Raiden chaning the timeline would make things different for real, such as Sub's transformation, and the heroes being DEAD FOR GOOD (even though Sindel killing all of them felt pretty cheap). I personally though they killed most of the 2D Era heroes so they could focus on the 3D Era ones, as well as villains, guess I was wrong.
