I think Liu Kang was feeling freaky and wanted to see some booty. Cuz making original Kharacters into females is extremely unnecessary, we already have multiple female Kharacters that we have not seen in almost 20 years. BTW: Our current Scorpion is the past Sub-Zero named Kuai Liang. Who is the younger brother of the original Sub-Zero, Bi-Han. And our current Sub-Zero is the past Noob and original Sub-Zero, Bi-Han. The original Scorpion named Hanzo, has yet to be seen in the story. But was seen in Smoke's tower ending.
So far the only kameos that are confirmed to be in Liu’s timeline are khameleon,Darrius,sarena,goro,motaro and technically mavado since he’s in takedas cannon ending. Jax,shujinko,and hanzo also exist but they’re completely different Jax is now a spy,hanzo and shujinko are kids so the rest are just gameplay mechanics. For the gender swap while stupid it’s easy to write it to make it make sense.All they got to do is just say that they are the daughters of the original versions simple.
@@shotz557 So what about subzero when there's already a subzero. What you're explaining is saying the cameo system is canon but not canon which doesn't make sense, and is contradictory.
@@arrownoir And that's a contradiction. Canon means "it will happen no matter what, and it has to happen" if it's the cameo system is canon and NOT canon meaning it doesn't have to happen no matter what, it's contradicting. It happening no matter what means, NO MATTER WHAT.
Gonna add this: Shang Tsung was changed from a Human to an Edenian Quan Chi was changed from an Oni from the Netherrealm to an Edenian Kuai Liang/Bi-Han was changed from an Outworld Cryomancer to an Earthrealmer. Baraka was a Tarkatan and now an Edenian who is infected by Tarkata. Mileena was a Tarkatan Kitana Clone and now an Edenian who is infected by Tarkata. Liu Kang did changed Tarkatans by removing them but the Hourglass just made Tarkatans into the Victims of Tarkata. Kuai Liang took Hanzo's Role, Janet Cage was from the Deception Era, Shujinko and Hanzo are kids now, and Smoke is no longer a sacrificed kid who is an Enenra. But I hate the fact Sektor and Cyrax been Gender Bended for Woke.
If you're going to complain at least do research, Liu Kang just re-wrote some characters and replaced other characters to save them from horrible outcomes that happened in the original timeline.
@tyruku18 The characters don’t need to be the same across all the games, especially when there is a chance to change them, like y’all gotta be completely lobotomized to not be able to understand that these aren’t the same versions like holy hell Also Shang isn’t edenian, he’s just from outworld. And you saying that the genderswaps was done for “woke” is the most mentally handicapped shit ever, like no dipshit the series has always had female characters and this is no acception, stg bros head is empty
@shadersz1068 but what does changing Cyrax's and Sektor's Gender changes their fate? It was not only in Liu Kang's Timeline that their gender were changed. They could have easily just altered the Kameo Cyrax and Sektor models and slight tweaked their animations like with the random Tarkatans, which uses Baraka's moves. Like I get everyone else's changes and never complained about it, but not even remotely just Cyrax and Sektor. And they still are very similar to their characters from MK9, 3D Era MK, and MK2/3. Which there was no warrant for the gender swap.
The whole idea behind MK 12 don't work as soon as you think about the fact that Liu Kang and Geras didn't know that other timelines existed, but Titan Shang and Titan Havik did. That's absolutely stupid and it keeps getting worse after that.
The longer this timeline goes, the more incompetent Liu Kang appears. But by far my biggest problem is how he still refuses to give Kenshi his sight back. I’m sure he would appreciate being able to see again, Liu Kang.
You're right in that it doesn't make sense. Also, why would Liu Kang remake them as women? The Kameo roster is all over the place with consistency. NRS covers all their lore contradictions with "timelines"
If you're going to complain at least do research, Liu Kang just re-wrote some characters and replaced other characters to save them from the horrible outcomes that happened in the original timeline. I'm just going off facts
it's called bending the knee to sweet baby inc. it has nothing to do with the story. they forced them to do it so they would have female leads for the story mode
The gender swap is representative of what Steve is doing with NRS. Supposedly he is "Stephanie" now. Also Janet Cage is another example, and..... . feminism.
So now we just lying abt mfs being trans like ok 😭 Also bro the characters don’t need to be the same between each and every game, especially when they have a chance to change things up a bit.
I could be mistaken but the cyrax and sektor from the games of olde were originally human and went through a cybernetic transition where they were then cyborgs, at the very least one of the later mks (mk9 or older) explains it as well. Personally I'm fine with them being gender-swapped and this is coming from someone who played the og games religiously. I can still pull off a glitch me and my boy found in mk trilogy on n64 and have yet to see it replicated elsewhere so we might record that. There was also nothing mentioned about bo rai cho being gender-swapped as madam bo which was a good change imo. This timeline also seems to be more "realistic" than the previous. johny is still kinda an ass but more human than the action start he was previously, same with scorpion, subzero and smoke. anyone who wasn't more or less "human" had their qualities pronounced but not too much over the top i suppose. overall great game character-wise, they could have definitely done worse.
If i had to give a reason for the swap, i would think that liu kang made sektor a woman so she could be a balancing factor for bi han just as another factor to prevent him from becoming evil; if you ignore sareena existing. As for cyrax, genuinenly no idea. I think them not being robots is an actual "new direction" instead of genderswapping.
You are speaking facts cause they are in the same characters but a new world they honestly could've kept the actual Cyrax and Sextor. And just added more for their characters as humans then have some type of new technology or something.
Here's where none of the characters are younger versions of themselves from the previous timeline but completely different versions of their self from a new timeline the only character that's from the old timeline is Liu Kang everyone else is completely new that's why some of them are completely different for an example mileena not being a clone of a katana but her actual sister Raiden not being a immortal god millions of years old but just a regular human with a powerful weapon Johnny Cage who never met Sonya and Jax and join the military and then you have people like scorpion and takeda who aren't even the same people they were before. And just because Liu Kang recreated the universe doesn't mean that he has control over what gender someone is born that's probably still a chance someone could be born a different gender. And a lot of the Cameo fighters aren't even in this universe Janet is from a different timeline scorpion is actually the original scorpion Hanzo hasashi from another timeline and Sub-Zero is most likely Kuai Liang (the good Sub-Zero) also from another timeline and the same can be said for a lot of the Cameo characters and it's not canon so you're really not supposed to pay attention to the Cameo characters they're only really there for gameplay reasons not story reasons. And the Johnny Cage in the chaos story is from a random timeline that we know nothing about all we know is it takes place in world war II and that's it.
So there’s a explanation but at the same time there isn’t. So in the original timelines, cyrax, sektor, smoke, cyber subzero are all cyborgs compared to cyrax and sektor now who just wear suits. Unless it was sub zero or smoke being turned into cyborgs because of unfortunate events, anyone can be cyrax or sektor. Now Liu kang could just be one horny mf but I don’t see a problem with a female cyrax and sektor
I get the gender swap problem but those are not the younger versions of them and half of the kameos are used for game mechanic purpose it shows when you customize them what skin they wear like sektor it says mk3 same for the cyrax kameo, mk3
Kameos don't matter, they are just NPC. It's good that we have the same characters who are in the roster and they are also Kameos. I don't want to see the other characters to be Kameos. Khaos Reigns story was so trash, MK11 Aftermath story is better.
Took 5 minutes to prove a point that the entire game is about. The whole point of it being called mk1 is a universal do over. The kameos are just that, cameos. This is the equivalent of getting mad that characters respawn after fatalities.
@@MordexWilson according to Ed Boon, the kameos were supposed to be a fight mechanic only. Call backs to old games and special characters that they couldn't fit into the story. It's just stupid that they would introduce the multiverse AND have those characters pop up in the background in the story.
a shame how Woke-NRS ruined Liu Kang and made him a c k'olded s,mp. he was meant to be agressive, strong, skillful and stoic person just like his origin Bruce Lee. now they made him soft and femine like kpop boys
I see what you mean my boy. Some of the stuff you’re saying doesn’t make the most sense but I don’t understand why some Kameos exist canonically and some don’t. It’s like what’s the point of the cameos then besides gameplay
I know what you mean.....no logical continuity......if the cameo situation was warm to actual roster it would have been way better.....a entire bad storyine
You're not crazy, I understand what you mean. If everyone is the younger version of everyone from the previous timeline (mk11) why is sektor a female when he was a male in mk11. I see what you mean
@MordexWilson The only people something like this doesn’t make sense to are people who suffer from learning disabilities get your stupid ass home shit is not complex 😭
Also thus world in mk1/12 destroys Scorpian. And now that Noob is created again Sub-Zero cant be in MK2/13. Hanzo is a lame initiate in Shi rai ryu Kuai liang is Scorpian with no explanation and i han is noob not Sub. In the real story Kuai Liang is Sub-Zero because Bi han becomes noob and hanzo was Scorpian. With no reason Liu made Kuai have the spear and the fire. Didnt stop Havok from Making Noob. Hes a god but doesnt have power any more that hes not a keeper of time like Geras
So You don’t like bad bitches in cool ass robot suites? It’s not too late to delete this 🤣 he put people who he feels would be appropriate for these titles or mantle. Quai or however you spell it was never scorpion, but lu felt he would be a better scorpion and made scorpion and sub brothers so that war would never happen. (Even though it did) but cyrax and sektor are not they names, that is they’re title or code name. He just feel these people would be better as cyrax and sektor to avoid Armageddon. Remember he fucking with everything to stop Armageddon from happening. (Which he failed because you can’t change fate) but yeah. The lore not even that deep do a little research.

Gonna be real, Cyrax and Sektor was Gender-Bended for no reason.
Like the hell, why are all versions of Cyraxes and Sektors are female?

Shang Tsung was changed from a Human to an Edenian

That wasn't Liu Kang, that was NRS. NRS are the true creators, even Liu Kang didnt have a say in that 😂
Liu turned the robots into babies for them to be weaker and useless. At least is that what it implyes.
it's called bending the knee to sweet baby inc. it has nothing to do with the story. they forced them to do it so they would have female leads for the story mode
