It's odd how you keep complaining about other people liking characters like Wolverine, yet you keep putting the characters you like forth as powerful and invincible, all the while you are ignoring the facts against it.

But to answer your question:
- Sindel empowered with Shang Tsung's soul was very powerful. She quickly disposed of most of the good guys. It wasn't an epic fight because Sindel had become too overpowerful, so the scene was rather drab. However, it still showed Sindel's immense power at that time.
- Raiden, mostly because he is a god. Though he did many mistakes, he is still a powerful guy. Sonya defeated him, because he let her defeat him and created a diversion. However, there is a limit to his power. He can heal the wounded, like he did with Jax, but not someone who is on the brink of death like Liu Kang and Kitana was.
- Quan Chi is very powerful when it comes to magic, but he doesn't seem to be all that powerful as a fighter. He works better in the shadows, manipulating people to do the dirty work and using his magic from a distance. But his knowledge of magic is immense, as he raise and heal the dead, such as Shao Kahn and Sindel, and create massive Soulnados.
- Nightwolf is kinda in the same boat as Quan Chi. When given the time, he can summon very powerful spirit-magic, as shown when Sindel arrogantly takes her time stealing his essence which gives him enough time to create a spiritual light from above which unfortunately sacrificed himself as well. But as a fighter, he isn't all that powerful and has his limits.

Guys, is, Mortal Kombat Conquest canon?

The TV series? No.

Haha, I never said ALL my favorites should be powerhouses, I don't even like that!

Rain, D'vorah, Jade, Mileena and many others I accept they aren't powerful.

But ANY character having telekinetic powers is powerful in my standards, and no Ermac isn't my favorite character. I just read many fanart, real bio's and other stuff about him that made me think he's very very powerful.

But like the other dude said, the battles are designed to let the player win, and the player can't play with the bad-guys.

Ok because I'm watching it. And none of this shit makes sense.

Well, apparently your standards doesn't matter. It's up to the authors and creators of the characters, not you.

I like the story in Conquest more than I like the story in MK9... :-p

And I like the MK9 non-canon endings also more than the MK9 storymode canon endings :p

So Kitana...

Well and it is up to me to like or not like what I see in such a game and put that on a message board...

But clearly you are just a slave for what E.Boon & Co designs/come up with and you like/accept it without struggle or thought?

I really dislike MK9 storymode because of the strange battles, the useless battles, the useless deaths and probably the useless survivors... Everything in the storymode doesn't make 100% sense to me.

But that's just me, but I still have my own opinion to say so.

...is not at all underdeveloped.

Yay! /thread

But are any of the endings in 9 even canon? Like Johnny's for instance?

One of the many problems of a hero only story mode.

A problem with every telekinetic character in fiction. People write is as limitless.

They were being controlled by the Dragon King/under a spell. Maybe they were up to stuff like they should've been.

Nope, the storymode is the real canon, and I hate it.... Seeing those awesome non-canon endings and knowing they will never be just makes me sad and mad...

MK: Unchained one?

We don't know that for sure.

Endings get incorporated all the time. While 'no duh' none of them actually defeated Shao Kahn, Johnny Cage could indeed go to Seido, Jade could still get possessed by the crystal woman, and Sheeva could still travel to Earthrealm (Please?).

We won't know until we get more info about MKX's story.

I am not telling you to stop. But like you share your opinions, so am I. You try to make Ermac look like this all-powerful being, because you like telekinetics, and I proved you wrong.

I don't agree with all what NRS or Ed Boon does though. I enjoyed the Story Mode of MK9, but there are some points I disagree with and wish were different. But no matter what I think, or what anyone else think, Story Mode is still the canon story. It doesn't matter if I like it or not.

Oooh wait until you see how it ends.

-_- Watch it be stupid as hell. Why the hell is Kung Lao even the hero in this? He's boring as hell.

That is the old kung lao, not the kung lao from the games...

Its far in the past, not in the time the MK games take place, so using Lui Kang wouldn't make sense.

He's the great Kung Lao, the one we're more familiar with is descended from. He exists within the game canon but the TV show isn't canon. It becomes abundantly clear why in the finale.

He is supposed to be the ancient Kung Lao, the first one to defeat the MK Champion Goro.

I didn't say anything about Liu. And what the hell? Their are two Kung Laos??? What the hell!!!! Where have I been all these years?

Its clearly to me that you never played as Kung Lao.

Its in most of his bio's and endings...

Haha. XD
Yes, there's the Kung Lao of legend, and then Kung Lao of recent times who is a descendant of the great Kung Lao. There's always been those two. :P

Kinda hoping that MKX's intro movie retcons much of the MK9 storyline, in a similar vain as the opening to MK9 that doesn't really depict the events of Armageddon. We don't really "see" what happens, just a bunch of tragic aftermath. "Raiden received a message from himself in the future to thwart a timeline where Shao Kahn reigns supreme, but he did not foresee that his actions to prevent this event caused terrible consequences."

That way we can all just forget about MK9's crappy narrative of its story and hope MKX doesn't screw up its own narrative.
