@@KhaosFrosty Liu Kang is different. Liu Kang was always more than a human. He can transform into a dragon, and in his intro dialogue between him and Cetrion, the Goddess say that Liu Kang has Onaga's fire, which Liu Kang reply he doesn't have anything to do with the Dragon King. Then Cetrion simply say to Liu Kang that human always think like they know everything. Intro always tease something.
