Well if you use logic Cassie beating Shinnok is nonsense. She couldn't even beat Tanya or Subzero one on one. What's to tell us if Jax was being killed Jacqui wouldn't be able to beat Shinnok? What makes Cassie so special? Why can she beat Shinnok and not Kung jin Takeda or Jacqui. It would have made more sense if they beat him as a team working together as one. The power levels in this story makes no sense Jacqui can kick Sub zero's butt the other kids get owned. i will say it again. there is no reason in letting her beat him up and be fazed on his knees. he wanted to school her just like the others and be c***y with her but she got back up and just beat him up thats how the things went. tont make up non existing context because it doesn't even sound logical. he didn't plan to stay on his knees for kung jin. he just was fazed and then kung jin spots him and attacks him. lucky for sub zero he came into his senses fast enough to react and continue to fight. this is what happened and what we see. please don't make up context that never was there in the first place. he wanted to train them yes. but training does not mean getting your ass kicked. by the way i am very confused with all this. in chapter 1 Johnny cage beats both scorpion and sub zero. in chapter 5 sonya beats the both of them. they are losers. and yes they were under control of Quan chi but it doesn't mean they fought worse suddenly or became weaker. it just means they used their skills for Quan chi. later on in scorpions chapter he becomes human again and he beats both sonya and johny cage along with Sub zero. what the f*** is up with that? so when you are an undead ninja you cant fight for s*** but when you return to be a human you become more powerful? Jax beat Kung lao, liu kang and then Quan chi is beyond. but can't beat shinnok. later on in raidens chapter they rape him and beat the living crap out of him. i don't know what to say to this messed up storyline.
