Not entirely true. Hsu Hao are Chameleon were confirmed to be dead permanently before MK9 came out. 131
And sometimes those who did die were not "fully" resurrected, like how the elder gods brought back Scorpion's clan as the undead, and how Liu remained a zombie and never went back to his regular form for the rest of the original timeline, etc., etc.
Well I take that back. MK characters can die permanently.
So we go to the past where they're alive again. 😆

You're probably right. Is Liu Lame the 1st MK character to die by accident?How do I unlock the bandage Mileena costume & alternate fatalities?

liu's good, but he ain't no johnny cage imo.
whats so cool about johny cage? his cocky attitude? he gets killed every time and he is basically a joke... only thing that works for him is the fact he is very fast in the recent game , but he doesnt hold a candle to liu kang IMO

If Lao got to see Khan coming and actually had a chance to defend himself and still died, then you'd have a point, but making a cheapshot kill doesn't prove anything as far as whose superior or inferior in actual combat.

This shit is baller. Just makes me like Johnny even more (which I didn't think was possible).
Nobody posted this yet so I went on and did it myself. Hilarious.

Hsu Hao and Chameleon were said to never be returning again though (Chameleon for obvious reasons and Hsu Hao because John Vogel hated the character so much and was one of the most unpopular among both the fans and developers), so they're basically written out of existence in the MKverse, something that not even altering the past will change. Other unpopular or gameplay clone characters have been said to have a pretty low chance of returning in any future game as well, so yeah.
They're still not dead, though. They're just simply not involved in the events of the MK games (at least in this one).

I hope so, Never liked the character, his fighting shrieks are annoying, and his moves sucks 131
I don't like his character, and I do find his shrieks annoying, but his moves are far from useless.
He's fast, he has a pretty good combo ender (Bicycle Kick...though I think it is useless outside of ending combos due to how unsafe it is on block). His flying kick is fairly decent, and has insane range. He also has Air, High & Low projectiles that are fast.
The prick can also near-infinitely bounce someone thanks to his Fierce Tiger Combo. Most other ground-bounce type moves slam the opponent down to ground after the first ground bounce (eg. Scorpion's Blade Overhead attack used twice, even in a combo). Mileena gets two bounces with her forward Back Kick command, but then it gives a ground slam if she uses it a third time.
Liu Kang can get as many as 3-4 ground bounces with FT (said combo being used in a row, mind you) and then finish off with another combo into Bicycle Kick. Ridiculous and simple.
Then he has another combo (Final Lotus) that knocks his opponent back, but because he can forward dash after the combo (buffer during), he can pull off FL around 3 times in a row. Both combos also seem to be safe on block.
With just those two combos, he also gets a decent mixup game.
AND his X-ray move allows you to juggle the opponent after it ends. Yeah. Kung Lao's the only other person who can do that afaik, but I can only pull off the forward roll attack into his vertical spin.
So yeah, Liu's far from suckish from a gameplay perspective. He does have suckish fatalities though. Kano has a far more badass heart punch fatality, and while transforming into a dragon is cool, all he does is chomp on the opponent. Laem.
That said, I can't believe I'm defending him. Oh well, I take solace in the fact that I'm defending him from a gameplay perspective.

Here's some more BS that was found earlier.
Damn. That vid with Sonya is the one I liked the most...mostly because I like playing with Sonya.
Hehe, with MK9 being included in EVO, I wonder if NRS will create a patch to address all this.

This game turned out to be very good. Didn't like having to play w/Liu Lame in the story mode, but that's minor. I lol'd at the backfire part. Is he really dead?
For now, yes. In the long run, I doubt it. That said, I wish he's properly resurrected this time.

Yeah, I really liked that feature/aspect of the tower. Ermac probably would've never been one of my mains were it not for this.
So he became one of your mains? Nice. How are his combos and his normals? His specials are where he shines IMO. I don't think he's fast like Cage or Liu Kang.

See, stuff like this is part of why I never play online the first thing.
Yeah, but it can be used against the AI 313
Also, 👆 on the Sheeva discovery. I'll use this.

This. Liu Kang himself fell to a cheap shot from the DA in the original timeline.

Noob's is by far the most hilarious IMO.
Also, Kratos somehow manages to be badass in his babality, even though he's also being humiliated. awesome
