Liu Kang vs Jin Kazama
Brought back to life by Rayden, Liu Kang resumes his role as Mortal Kombat champion.
After being killed, resurrected and the rumble at the Edenian canyon (Armageddon), Liu finally gets a break.
Deciding on a small vacation, Liu heads for Fiji, with Kitana. However, Jin Kazama, the new Mishima Zaibatsu boss, is also vacationing there with Ling Xiayou, of all people.
As Liu and Kitana reconnect, the moment is wrecked by Hwoarang, who was looking for Jin. One Flying Kick into a palm tree and the hot-blooded Korean is down for the count.
This doesn't go unnoticed by Jin. Through Xiayou, he sends Liu a formal letter of challenge. Liu accepts and heads off to face the Mishima desendant.
