"Except Liu Kang wasn't killed before Deadly Alliance and Kitana and Jax weren't killed before Deception for story reasons. They were killed for roster reasons"

I meant before the game itself, the events, Liu died before you start Deadly Alliance, and Kitana dies before you start playing deception in the opening cinimatic or you could say she died at the end of DA, thats not whats important tho-

you dont seem to understand they are related. Story determines who is in the next game, as i said before Kano and Sonya were captured at the end of MK1 thus they were not in MK2 as playable characters. the characters in MK deception were raised from the dead by Onaga (just like the ones in MK 9 with Quan Chi), but they were not playable in the game (the main console versions). they kill these characters to clean house and make room for new ones/bring old ones back in the MK games, and who ever dies or gets captured in the previous game is not in the next one. Im not saying they will never be in an Mk game again, Im not saying you wont get Kitana, Jax, Smoke etc as DLC for example or if they have an add-on expanion or w/e they try to do, but they wont be in the game when it hits the shelves in 2015 for example, Im willing to safely bet 10 internet bucks on that lol
