Scorpion is the face of MK is really just because Ed Boon love him, that all. Yes truth is Liu Kang is the one who should have been the face of MK because he is the main protagonist, like Ryu, Kyo, Jin Kazama. Liu Kang has Dragon Ability, which is the logo of MK, and he is the only one who break the 4th wall having the ability to summon the MK Arcade Cabinet. This is all change after John Tobias left the franchise. If Tobias was still in the team, pretty sure he will never let Ed Boon selfishly use his favourite character as the mascot. You guys can google about how Tobias will do to Liu Kang's character if he never left the franchise. Tobias original idea is he will never make Liu Kang die and became Zombie or Revenant. He will never make Liu Kang go dark side. He wanted to make Liu Kang has a son and both him and his son will be the new main protagonist. Since now they finally bring back Liu Kang as the hero, and Kitana at his side now, this idea of Liu Kang's son might happen in the future.

I hope that become canon. It will explain how Liu Kang is so powerful. He straight up defeated Goro, Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn and Shinnok with only his pure martial arts and strength. No magic power up, unlike Cage family where they have to rely on their green glow to had a chance to fight Shinnok. This is also make sense why his Fire God form can defeat Kronika because Fire God form is a fusion of two Liu Kang with Raiden's power. Raiden's power is more like additional gift here because the fusion core is Liu Kang's soul and power merge into one.
@@shawziiz5031 nope it still makes no sense plotwise. Kronika even before all her later power boosts was already more powerful than all the Elder Gods who dwarf Onaga, Liu Kang, and Raiden
@@ainsleyharriot6060 Liu Kang has defeat Shinnok back in MK4. Shinnok is Elder God even though he is fallen. Unlike Cage family who has to rely on their magic green power, Liu Kang beat Shinnok with his pure mortal strength. So yes it make sense when this Liu Kang merge with Revenant Liu Kang, who has mastered Shinnok's sorcery, then added with Raiden's essence, is really really strong to the point he can defeat Kronika. Is not just plot armor here, it explain well.
@Charles Hastings I'd say since the great king lao is the ancestor to both Liu Kang and king Pao and dragons do exist in the mk universe maybe the Shaolin in the past did indeed travel to the other realms and encountered dragons thus creating dragon style Kung Fu and perhaps worship said dragons or some dragons passed the wisdom of controling chi thus explaining Liu kangs fire
I'm surprised no one is talking about the fact that Liu kang defend Kung lao and calling kitana out for how bad she treated him at 22:22 that shows how tight and real their friendship bond is where you choose your Bros side over your girlfriend
God dammit if I didn't miss the Golden Boy, Lui Kang! Good to see him back on the right alignment. Never set as a villain, but man does he make for a good hero! "Quit beating your gong..."

Liu Kang and Kung Lao were always my favorites. They should make Liu Kang very formidable. He was the original Champion of Mortal Kombat. He shouldn't be a pushover.
You are talking about the only mortal to ever beat Goro, Shang Tsung, and Shao Kahn in the tournament. He already has respect on his name AND that’s not evening mentioning what he does in MK11’s story.
BlackWingedSeraph Yeah, human Liu Kang is still completely undefeated in story mode, save for a fight with Raiden. Revenant Liu Kang is considerably less powerful, as he gets slapped around by Cassie and others. I guess Revenant Liu Kang stopped training or isn't fully dedicated to fighting, and it shows. Human champ Liu is still the best around though.
Both of them are Goku and Vegeta in MK. If you do some research between two of them, trust me you will find both of them share many similar thing with Goku and Vegeta.

Agreed. He still retains a few barbs from his MKX Counterpart but he's back to being the humbled version of himself...Kung Lao on the other hand...it's like they switched personalities from last game to this game.
Roberto Pontes that’s the main reason they changed him.just like Liu kang....he was boring.he was basically a clone of Liu(hense why people roast him about that in mkx and this) he may be a prideful jerk,but he now has something to make him stand out
@@omnibeta1876 Liu Kang was always stronger than both Scorpion and Sub-Zero. He doesn't need his God form to defeat them. Liu Kang has defeat them many times, especially Scorpion in the franchise, whether is canon or not canon, they always make Liu Kang win against them.
31:00 "Your power won't stop me, Liu Kang." "It's done so twice before." That is fucking perfect. With five words he roasts Shao Kahn so badly he can barely come up with a response.
Liu Kang: Taking you down will be easy. Sub-Zero: What did Kitana tell you? Liu Kang: All i need is a pail of water. A good reference example from the movie
On a side note: Liu Kang has no business being this handsome. Youngtax Lee as the model for the Chosen One was a top-notch choice of Netherrealm Studios.
Liu Kang: Yours is an endangered species. D'vorah: The hive will kill you to survive! Liu Kang: Elder gods forgive me for her extinction for I am about to roast this bitch to the neither realm.

@Keeva2006 The movie made a huge impact on MK. From Kano's design and voice to the type of music to the character personalities. Hush it.
Keeva2006 good thing there opinion ain’t worth shit
@Keeva2006 Get rekt virgin. 😂
@Keeva2006 You sound like a bitch. Just enjoy the references.
I like how they talk about Shujinko
@@baihu135 I wanna see ashrah, hotaru, and havik come back.. all these characters have so much potential
it would be nice to have the old man come back and kick ass
Me too! 😍
@@Kaimerah Agreed! I feel others like Kai, Fujin, Khameleon, Drahmin, and Taven can too!
@@legitbooty2989 Funny, because all I heard was how MK fans *HATED* him during the original timeline.
"You have Onaga's fire"
Well time to create a theory.
They may be related
I hope that become canon. It will explain how Liu Kang is so powerful. He straight up defeated Goro, Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn and Shinnok with only his pure martial arts and strength. No magic power up, unlike Cage family where they have to rely on their green glow to had a chance to fight Shinnok. This is also make sense why his Fire God form can defeat Kronika because Fire God form is a fusion of two Liu Kang with Raiden's power. Raiden's power is more like additional gift here because the fusion core is Liu Kang's soul and power merge into one.
@@shawziiz5031 nope it still makes no sense plotwise. Kronika even before all her later power boosts was already more powerful than all the Elder Gods who dwarf Onaga, Liu Kang, and Raiden
@@ainsleyharriot6060 Liu Kang has defeat Shinnok back in MK4. Shinnok is Elder God even though he is fallen. Unlike Cage family who has to rely on their magic green power, Liu Kang beat Shinnok with his pure mortal strength. So yes it make sense when this Liu Kang merge with Revenant Liu Kang, who has mastered Shinnok's sorcery, then added with Raiden's essence, is really really strong to the point he can defeat Kronika. Is not just plot armor here, it explain well.
@Charles Hastings I'd say since the great king lao is the ancestor to both Liu Kang and king Pao and dragons do exist in the mk universe maybe the Shaolin in the past did indeed travel to the other realms and encountered dragons thus creating dragon style Kung Fu and perhaps worship said dragons or some dragons passed the wisdom of controling chi thus explaining Liu kangs fire
“Actions, not titles, define us.” - Kitana’s concubine
Whoa, I'm loving the dialog they gave my main, Liu Kang! Favorite character since MK1!
I'm surprised no one is talking about the fact that Liu kang defend Kung lao and calling kitana out for how bad she treated him at 22:22 that shows how tight and real their friendship bond is where you choose your Bros side over your girlfriend
God dammit if I didn't miss the Golden Boy, Lui Kang! Good to see him back on the right alignment. Never set as a villain, but man does he make for a good hero!
"Quit beating your gong..."
Liu Kang: Are we the *Deadly Alliance?*
Raiden: That is Kronika's *Deception.*
Liu Kang: Or a recipe for *Armageddon.*
WB Games Easter Egg Reference game on fleet.
I really missed this hero version of Liu Kang. So polite, yet also politely savage
1:53 Liu Kang's ally Sonya Blade
2:43 Liu Kang's ally Jackson "Jax" Briggs
3:37 Liu Kang's ally Raiden
5:09 Liu Kang's ally Jacqueline Sonya "Jacqui" Briggs

Scorpian:Your Revanent is to be feared
Liu Kang:I thought he was gone
*they say while he is in his REVANANT SKIN*
Liu Kang and Kung Lao were always my favorites. They should make Liu Kang very formidable. He was the original Champion of Mortal Kombat. He shouldn't be a pushover.
Always been my favorites as well! And I agree, I hope they properly showcase the skill that made Liu Kang the champion of Mortal Kombat!
@@JasonRainwater if you hadn't watched or played through the story he gets what he deserves, which is good
You are talking about the only mortal to ever beat Goro, Shang Tsung, and Shao Kahn in the tournament. He already has respect on his name AND that’s not evening mentioning what he does in MK11’s story.
BlackWingedSeraph Yeah, human Liu Kang is still completely undefeated in story mode, save for a fight with Raiden. Revenant Liu Kang is considerably less powerful, as he gets slapped around by Cassie and others. I guess Revenant Liu Kang stopped training or isn't fully dedicated to fighting, and it shows. Human champ Liu is still the best around though.
Play the story mode is all ima say
Liu Kang will always be my favorite fighter. Dude got hands for days 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Erron Black's intro lmao, wow they really hated Hsu Hao didn't they?
I don't blame them, Hsu Hao is a shit character.
@@tempestbrown5033 A lot of the PS2 Era New Characters were. But yeah, he was probably the worst of the bunch. Only one I liked was Ashrah.
I mean Nitara, Dairou & Havik were pretty interesting.
@@JumugiDesunra I thought Nitara was hot Dairou and Havik had potential.
Mavado's head should have been alongside his...
As an Asian, hearing that accent in perfect english is music to my ears. I find that accent very attractive.
Matthew Yan King is very talented and was perfect for this role. I hope he gets to play Liu more often.
I really love how Liu Kang and Kung Lao is basically rival.
What's even more interesting is that they are actually cousins :), they both descend from the great Kung Lao.
Both of them are Goku and Vegeta in MK. If you do some research between two of them, trust me you will find both of them share many similar thing with Goku and Vegeta.
Shamsaiyan hell Liu kang even has a goku skin in the game so even the creators acknowledge this 😆
@@kungfuenthusiasm6592 Indeed. Plus if you remember, back in MK Armageddon there a full gear set of Goku in Kreate a Fighter mode. Is no secret that some of NRS staff is DB fans as well
reminds me of Jackie Chan vs Jet li to be completly honest lol
I like how kotal is kitanas disapproving dad and lui kang is her bad boy boyfriend
But he's a good boy
Random Headshot any boy that tries to date kotals daughter is a bad boy
Bad boy? More like a guy with no stable job and said disapproving dad is simply cares for his daughter future
zanza kuro yeah you right, I just thought the parallel was funny, and it is 😂
“You have Oonaga’s fire…”
This explains so much and at the same time raises so many questions
I love how in all of Liu Kang's intros, everyone seem so polite. Even when the heels are roasting him, it comes across as respectful
I liked arrogant asshole Liu kang in X, but MK11/Kang>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MKX/Kang easy
Agreed. He still retains a few barbs from his MKX Counterpart but he's back to being the humbled version of himself...Kung Lao on the other hand...it's like they switched personalities from last game to this game.
Roberto Pontes that’s the main reason they changed him.just like Liu kang....he was boring.he was basically a clone of Liu(hense why people roast him about that in mkx and this) he may be a prideful jerk,but he now has something to make him stand out
22:25 That was nice of Liu standing up and supporting for Kung Lao
hey, bros before hoes man
@@KodenX but he be hitting on Kitana on the low though so he still a jealous dude though lol
That cartwheel Liu kang do never gets old it’s fire ash🔥
The Friendly Brotherly Banter between Liu Kang and Lao! I LOVE IT!! 😂😂😂
Best duo
I love how lowkey kotal gives Liu Kang props and looks out for him
Liu and Kitana are the talk of the town. 😂😂😂😂
Liu and Kitana sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G~
lmaoooo
7:22
Liu Kang: You respect Kitana, yes?
Baraka: But not her concubine, Liu Kang
Liu Kang: CONCUBINE?!?
best line ever
well Baraka isn't wrong though XD
Liu Kang in MK11. Kind. Wise. Mostly-humble. Considerate. Trustworthy. Perfect.
I kinda wish we just had an honest moment with Johnny.
Johnny: We missed you Liu Kang.
Liu Kang: Johnny... Are you crying?
Johnny: Uh... No!
Yooo this mortal kombat high school eryone and they mother in his relationship business 😂😂
In that case, can’t wait to see what Sindel has to say to Liu Kang
Liu Kang: are we the Deadly Alliance?
Scorpion and Sub-Zero: you ain't funny
Hero of light Liu Kang is stronger than both
@@dannyfonseca07 Wrong title for Liu if you played MK11's story but you're still right about him being stronger... At least in his final form
Jose Ruiz Lobato I don't recall Liu Kang ever being weaker than sub and scorpion
@@omnibeta1876 Liu Kang was always stronger than both Scorpion and Sub-Zero. He doesn't need his God form to defeat them. Liu Kang has defeat them many times, especially Scorpion in the franchise, whether is canon or not canon, they always make Liu Kang win against them.
Mk11 Liu Kang🔥 >>>>> Any other Liu Kang
"All I need is a pail of water."
That reference.
Use the Elemental which brings Life.
As if lui kang doesn't recognize kabal's hook swords, they're called shangou's, they're chinese weapons which the shaolin are familiar with
I think that's why he wants Kabal to join the Shaolin
@@zannchristo I thought he was middle eastern XD
@@ksoundkaiju9256 Everybody can join the Shaolin. Remember Kai?
Liu Kang: I guess you knew it would end this way.
Raiden: I did not have a clue...
I love movie references in the games that inspired them.
I love how Liu Kang is like: "Never change."
It was a low key cute exchange.
I about spit my water out at "CONCUBINE!?" I also want a buddy cop movie with Johnny Cage and Liu Kang XD
5:20 "Who was it capped Shinnok?"
Pretty sure Liu Kang can beat Shinnok without green energy asspulls.
Thank You.😂🤣
Faktttstssssssss
Liu Kang didn't beat Shinnok clean. He had the help of Quan Chi
Brandon Ware ?
Brandon Ware The thing is Liu Kang can still beat Shinnok by himself.
Liu Kang is such a polite boy .He is my boy and I love him .
8:28 Liu kang: my focus is on definding earthrealm
Kong Lao: no Liu Kang it's on kittana
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Baraka that's not nice. 😂
Liu and Kitana aren't just banging. They're In love. Are you sour that Mileena is gone?
Give me a hi five girl! Loved your comment!
You are spiting some bars gal
B***** doesn't exist.
Raiden: We must forgive and forget.
Liu Kang: All too easy for an immortal.
Me: Ouch.
7:24 he just called him Kitana's sidebitch 😂
I can't💀
A humble Liu Kang is a good one
Liu Kang: Quit beating your "gong" and fight.
Shao Kahn: That is what I call it, yes.
“You respect Kitana, yes?”
“Not her concubine, Liu Kang.”
“C O N C U B I N E ? !”
The Real Liu Kang from 1995 is back THANK goodness for that.
“We could team up to restore history”
“Team up? This is Mortal Kombat”
Lui Kang 🤣🤣🤣
Now this is the Liu Kang we love!
31:00
"Your power won't stop me, Liu Kang."
"It's done so twice before."
That is fucking perfect. With five words he roasts Shao Kahn so badly he can barely come up with a response.
Absolutely no one:
D'vorrah: *Young, succulent flesh*
"am in a hall of mirrors? " It doesn't get more Bruce Lee than that!!!!
Liu Kang: Taking you down will be easy.
Sub-Zero: What did Kitana tell you?
Liu Kang: All i need is a pail of water.
A good reference example from the movie
nooob : you are already dead/
Liu KaNg: NANI!?
Fist of the north star😂😂
On a side note: Liu Kang has no business being this handsome. Youngtax Lee as the model for the Chosen One was a top-notch choice of Netherrealm Studios.
Liu Kang: Yours is an endangered species.
D'vorah: The hive will kill you to survive!
Liu Kang: Elder gods forgive me for her extinction for I am about to roast this bitch to the neither realm.
7:22 hahahaha I’m dead “CONCUBINE?!?!?!”
I come at Kitana's Invitation. hes like her body gaurd haha
Liu Kang related to Onaga!?
That dialog exchange had me wondering, too! :o
Liu Kang’s Fire is dragon fire.
Seriously is it canon?
Where does it say that
@@tommycastro9424 12:19
Really dug Liu's interaction with Kabal. Imagine if a non-burned version of him joined the White Lotus? *MANNN*
6:24 him learning about things like this is really funny. He’s like oh damn
