Kano > Quan Chi

In my opinion Kano and Black Dragon clan are partnered up with Quan Chi because Sonya and Johnny are the last standing heroes from the events of MK9. So Quan Chi needs them eliminated. He and Shinnok need some allies against Raiden when he invades Earth. I think Kano's MK9 ending partially is canon,where he has a lot of profit from Outworld invasion and upgrades his cybernetics and makes his clan richer and more powerful,which will give Sonya a big headache. I predict that Black Dragon are going to try some assassination attempts when Johnny and Sonya are together somewhere in public or apartment.

The animosity from Quan Chi is justified because even in the original timeline Kano is this sneaky and disloyal servant, having betrayed Sheeva to Kahn in MK3 and Kahn himself in MKDA when he waits and sees who is the winner while the Emperor is attacked by Quan Chi and Shang Tsung in the beginning of MKDA. He even betrays both sorcerers in their endings in MKDA (though not canon). So it tells us how much Quan Chi distruts the mercenary.

I think that Quan Chi is allied with Red Dragon clan (confirmed as a canon in this timeline by the comic art we saw) for backup plan like he did in MK Mythologies with Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu. He is gonna be allied withas Sektor-led Lin Kuei as well (if Sektor's MK9 ending is coming true). It is just a perfect setting for Kuai Liang to kick Sektor's ass and become the Grandmaster like in the original timeline. But of course for it to happen,Raiden and heroes need to save him from Quan Chi's control. And I have a feeling Sareena is going to take a big part in it (if she is in the game).

Where did you get this dialogue between Kano and Quan Chi from?

Someone emailed me a "spoiler", but I don't know if it's 100% accurate.

I think it might be true, as Shaun Himmerick, executive producer for NRS, said in the Quan Chi presentation that in the story of MKX "we'll see if these 2 characters can work together for a common goal or if they have other, more sinister agendas"

I don't think its that far fetched, Quan Chi would probably see Kano as easily manipulated and more predictable than other grunts.

Kano is one of the original seven survivors of MK from the first iteration of the story. This is a man who single handedly convinced Shao Kahn of his value, kept it cool and survived Kahn and went on to be furhter employed by the Deadly Alliance.

Kano is one of the, if not the most vicious characters of the series, is capable and physically on par with the shaolin monks, sepc. forces and world-leading martial art experts and assassins when it comes to him.

He is not a goon, he has way more in reserve. it is just that the prominent evildoers and antagonists are that much more powerful due to magic, being gods etc.

And for some ungodly reason, I overlooked his awesome story because I didn't care for his gameplay in the games he's been in.

Such a fruitball I am.

Most of the dialogue that's officially heard from this game sounds like one-liners. This one on the other hand, is too long and detailed to me.

Just saying...

Didn't Quan Chi and Shang Tsung sort of have Kano as a partner in MKDA?

Honestly, to me it's not that questionable. Quan Chi is far more powerful than Kano, so if Kano even tried to betray Quan Chi, he'd most likely fail unless he had some great power.

However, I do question alliance in terms of Kano's intelligence, however, Quan Chi can manipulate Kano easily into doing anything, considering Quan Chi is 10/10 in terms of manipulation. Also, he can appearently control minds, as shown in his moveset, so that's something, too.

Yes, and his ending in Deadly Alliance gave birth to Liu Kano... that died immediately afterwards because it failed to exist in Deception.

Poor joke, I know.

General yes.
Partner no.

& this is why the cutthroat Merc is my favorite character..





seriously, FUCK SAREENA!!!

Alright I'll bite what's your issue with Sareena?

IT'S NOT ACCURATE AT ALL, It's something I WROTE/Posted for possible dialogues just for fun! LMAO! But thanks for showing interest. -http://www.trmk.org/forums/showthread.php/31427-Storyline-Theories-Intros-of-MKX/page2 Post #33

I knew this had horse shit written all over this

Kano would need a deposit of sorts to team up Quan Chi. As far as he is concerned he would have everything, if Quan Chi had not messed everything up for the emperor in MK 2011.

At the very least, due to their mutual mistrust he would ask for something tangible like Kabal's undead soul back instead of invisible money which he received as a deal from Shang Tsung/Shao Kahn. Maybe Quan Chi would throw in Jax, Stryker, Smoke or SZ as zombie slaves to soothe Kano's bruised ego as he fought them in one way or another. Kano needs subjects, if not for the Black Dragon's expansion then for the mere delight of owning enforcers of the law.

It cracks me up that everyone thinks Kano isn't a worthy adversary. He isn't the most skilled fighter on the roster but makes up for that with his viciousness and cunning. I said it before and ill say it again, Kano is a Survivor. He ha never died and has always used his intelligence to get what he wants. So to say he is easily manipulated by others, is bull crap. Besides when you think about it, all villains in MK have manipulated someone at one point or another.

As far as Quan Chi's and Kano's possible alliance. I will go on and say that if they do have some sort of partnership, 1. Its an uneasy relationship, 2. both know its only temporary & 3. they're probably are expecting one another to betray the other one as soon as they have what they need or they're purpose is filled. Either way, those 2 "together" would make for an interesting team.

I love that people are still fucking talking like this is legit.

I already knew it was bullshit and the person who made up that dialogue even step up.
