Cassie was kidnapped and taken to Outworld. Unlike JC or Sonya who were slightly older than her in MK9, her parents knew of other worlds and made sure that when she was their age she would be more prepared than they were. I assume she was trained by both her parents and, since she calls Jax "Uncle Jax", I also assume that she was trained by Jax. I would like to think that she was trained by Kenshi as well just because he was in the Special Forces just like her. Yes, she did go up against Frost in the comic. And good point about her being more prepared by her parents because they would want her to know about the other worlds. Well yes, and that means Cassie should be a lot tougher than she looks, but that alone shouldn't have been enough to beat Shinnok. Going up against Frost is one thing, but Frost still lacked discipline, just line in the original timeline, as we all saw. Going up against a god, especially one that cannot die, is quite another.

It just feels wrong to have her be able to fight Shinnok in such a way. I'm not sure her training was ever intended to do something like that. You're set on Cassie being a bad choice to take down Shinnok. Who else? No one in MK is all powerful and I don't see anyone else who could have done it. Cassie did the impossible with her parent's training, luck, and of course the green energy. That combined made her Shinnok's worst adversary and she won. To me it just feels the green energy halo is considered too Oped if it can do that. Now yes we all know everyone has a chance at beating another character in the MK universe, and everyone has limitations, but I guess I just felt the circumstances for it shouldn't have worked in Cassie's case.
