Hey guys! Long time no see, I hung out here a lot when MK 9 was coming out and I assume the same thing is going to happen again. Anyways to the topic.

Holy Ravioli! You guys, Test your might, and NeoGaf all are jumping to conclusions based on this small trailer. I gotta say it was kind of a weird trailer that just bring up more questions. Personally I'm loving the art direction and (possible) graphics but that's all I took away from the trailer. I didn't speculate on the story because this isn't a story trailer it's a promotional trailer.

"Kuia lang/ Bi-Han have been resurrected". "Everyone must be resurrected then". "MK coped out". People are speculating the story of A fighting game based off a trailer that features it's two most prominent characters? Ryu vs Ken. Mario & Lugi. C'mon guys, I know I'm coming off like a jerk here but it's kind of ridiculous. Why is sub zero in the trailer? It literally does not matter. It could be another sub, he could be resurrected. He could be there for only gameplay reasons (a hidden alt to his replacement). So many possibilities but most people are so confident in their own theory.

"Original story" this seems to freak people out too. Once again my answer is chill out and wait until more information is released but once again... really? The main series have never just started over for no reason. Yes the cross overs are in their own little cannon but you guys are crazy to think NRS is going deliberately leave you hanging like that. Also I don't mean to be a Webster dictionary nazi but "original" does not necessarily = new universe, new cannon.

So in conclusion, nice to see you guys all again! CHILL OUT! and sorry if this came off as rude lol

In all sincerity, Scorpion and Subbie have always been the Ryu and Ken of Mortal Kombat. Not because of how they look or their gameplay, hell, not even because of their storylines, but simply because they are the front figures of the game. That's the only similarity though.

As for overspeculating and theorycrafting - that ALWAYS happens when a new game is announced. Why? Because people are excited! They want to know more! And it is a GOOD thing! If everyone just chilled down, there would be no hype or excitement for the game.

Seriously, just let people go crazy with the speculating! It just means they are excited about the game. Aren't you?

Whenever I think of Ryu & Ken, I THINK OF THAT PILE OF SHIT INSTALLMENT OF THE SERIES KNOWN AS STREET FIGHTER ALPHA!!! furious furious furious

I hated street fighter alpha for reasons that would be classified as politically incorrect so please don't ask why.

Welp, when it comes to fighting games I am pretty open minded.
MK, Smash Bruhs, KoF, Tekken, DOA, SF, etc

Street Fighter isn't shitty, Capcom's BS with DLC and among other things are. I like MK more though.

Hey I'm all for getting excited my complaint is all the negativity of this speculation. A lot of people are getting upset for no reason. Some people watched a trailer of sub and scorp fighting and said "well NRS totally screwed me over". It's that sort of stuff I find ridiculous.

Speculating how sub zero is there? He or "It" rather, was never not going to be in MK. There could be a million different reasons but what I'm saying is MK does not exist without Scorp or Sub... The story of how they got their comes second. Speculate all you want but there a GREAT CHANCE NRS doesn't even know what their doing with Sub yet, they just know he will be in so they threw in a Lin Kuei cyromancer. For all I'm concerned that's all we saw in that trailer a no name Lin Kuei cycromancer... he died at the end of it lol
