Round 2 (2012) Best Result Quarters (2017)

With Outworld's invasion of Earthrealm thwarted; Sindel joined her victims as a revenant army staging a new attack. Two generations of warriors were forced to battle the powerful Edenian Queen as she marched agaisnt the Sky Temple on behalf of Shinnok. Though the fallen Elder God was vanquished, the revenant Sindel remains in the periphery as her daughter assumes control of the Netherrealm.

The threat of Shao Kahn led Raiden to create a new reality by reaching into the past. His gambit endangered the Earthrealm as the Outworld Emperor laid siege to a new world decimated of its heroes. Moments away from defeating the Thunder God, Shao Kahn was obliterated by the Elder Gods themselves! Twenty-five years later, Shao Kahn remains dead with the throne of Outworld occupied by those who would succeed his reign.

Sindel ended her life after Edenia was conquered by Shao Kahn, but if she can return as a corrupted revenant -- what of The Emperor? Could the roles be reversed? Sindel dwells in a Netherrealm now controlled by her daughter, while Shao Kahn's legacy shapes Outworld even after his obliteration. Who's next? FIGHT!

17 wins 5 losses Record 2 wins 5 losses
Champion (2013) Best Result Round 2 (2016)

Smoke escaped automation by the Lin Kuei, only to perish fighting to stop the Outworld invasion of Earth. Corrupted by Quan Chi's influence, Smoke now serves Netherrealm, appearing in Mortal Kombat X story mode as an antagonist to two generations of heroes hoping to stop Shinnok's rise. Seemingly masterless, Smoke's future remains uncertain as some of his fellow revenants establish a new rule in Hell.

Kai has not yet been seen during the new timeline. In the past, he was an emerging hero of the White Lotus Society who rescued Fujin and was recruited by Liu Kang into the Shaolin. He helped to defeat Shinnok and the demon hordes of Netherrealm who burned the Heavens. He then travelled the world seeking greater enlightenment, before returning to combat the forces of darkness during Armageddon.

Smoke toils in the inferno as a corrupt enenra, while Kai likely never met Liu Kang. The Netherrealm has changed both their lives in the new timeline - will it bring them together as enemies? Choose their destiny! FIGHT!
