I know it's kind of a silly question since each fight is to the death, but is there any real "canon" for who wins each tournament? I know there is a tenuous continuum for Street Fighter, so maybe someone knows this too...
All I can remember is Liu Kang wins MK1. --- SephG on the go ... Copied to Clipboard!

There is but we typically don't find out what happened in canon until the next game comes out.

Only the first game is an actual tournament with a winner. The second was a fraud intended to merge the realms regardless of the winner, and Kitana tipped off the good guys before it could happen. The third game was a full invasion of Earth by Shao Khan, the fourth another invasion by Shinnok. Deadly Alliance had a fake tournament again, but I don't know how many people actually participated. I think Li Mei "won" that, but it was a ruse. Everything else was just more violence.
Then the reboot. Liu Kang won the first and second tournaments. --- A podcast where we talk about religious media in its myriad forms. It's fun! http://www.noahssnarkpodcast.com ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think we're mixing things up here
in MK9, the reboot, Liu Kang wins the Tourney doesn't rayden accidentally blow him up afterwards? I assumed when Cera said he won the 2nd one, he was referring to MKX whats the explanation for him coming back in X or are yall sayin Rayden went back to MK1 AGAIN --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I may be misunderstanding what Cera meant, but in MK 9 Liu Kang wins the tournament, then defeats Shao Khan later on which he may be saying is the 2nd tournament victory. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ... Copied to Clipboard!

It hasn't been spelled "Rayden" since MK3. Apparently, Ed Boon hated that spelling and changed it.

Canonically speaking, as previously mentioned, there werent really many tournaments after 2s events. Liu Kang was the victor in both 1 and 2, and I believe canonically was the one to stop Shao Khan and Shinnok in 3 and 4.

is that not his name? It has always been Raiden, with the exception of the SNES & Genesis games, which changed it to Rayden. Not sure if it was ever definitively explained why they did this, although the rumor was that Midway wanted to avoid possible copyright lawsuits over the name Raiden, which was used by a Fatal Fury character. Every arcade version of MK used Raiden as the spelling, and every game in all formats since MK4 has used Raiden. But yes, both spellings have been used. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran ... Copied to Clipboard!

I thought people just called him that because it's pronounced that way. Like specifically the MK character, not any other Raiden.

Yes, MK9 covers the same time span as MK1-3, so there are two tournaments and an invasion covered.
