Just curious, who are your favorite Mortal Kombat ships?

Ah! Well, strap in folks because this is gonna be a long one!

• CageBlade (Johnny Cage x Sonya Blade): I know this is canon, a good few of these ships will be but my god the Cage Family were the hook, line and sinker for me getting into this game franchise! I love them so much and it broke my heart when they killed off present Sonya in 11 😭

• ErronJin (Erron Black x Kung Jin): Ok this one could be eligible for the RarePair branding but honestly would y'all believe me if I said I was hooked ever since I saw a mini comic piece of Cassie asking out Erron for Kung Jin? Love these two assholes and I love the dynamic that can be explored!

• SubScorp (Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang) x Scorpion): Classic duo, classic pairing. I find their story from enemies to friends in canon very compelling!

• LiuTana (Liu Kang x Kitana): Canon couple again, another classic pairing lol. I like the star-crossed dynamic they have and I'm a sucker for a power couple!

• Kotalade (Kotal x Jade): Ok so when this one came around in 11 I'm sure we were all confused. Hell I was! But honestly after playing storymode so many times and getting both of their tower endings they grew on me. Very sweet!

• Jacqueda (Jacqui Briggs x Takeda Takahashi): Canon pairing again, so happy they're engaged!!! They're so sweet I wish them all the happiness *glares at netherrealm*

• Taleena (Mileena x Tanya): Honestly the overhype from the community over Mileena put me off her a bit but I am warming up to her, I love her and Tanya having a child and life together in Mileena's tower ending and they're just adorable!

Honorable Mentions:

• I used to ship Kitana and Jade just because everyone else did but since Netherrealm really drove home the sisterly-bond in MK11 it does make me feel a lil icky. Won't bother anyone else for shipping it though!

• Kenshi Takahashi x Scorpion isn't bad but I don't consider myself a shipper of it (since I greatly prefer SubScorp)

• I once shipped Kenshi and Johnny for shits and giggles just because it's funny. Fun fact I think their relationship is the equivalent of Liu Kang and Kung Lao's where you have the 'chosen one' friend (Liu Kang is Liu Kang and Johnny beat Shinnok) and the overconfident friend (Kenshi's attitude in X so reminded me of Kung Lao)

• I ship Sindel with being good for a fucking change :)))

• Honestly I don't ship Cassie with anyone, despite her being my main/fave I don't really see anyone who would suit her (her and Jacqui are basically sisters, Kung Jin is gay, Takeda loves Jacqui, and I can't think of anyone else) I'm kinda ok with it tho, we love an independent woman!

• I kinda ship good Sindel with Sheeva now that I think of it, and bad Sindel a teeny tiny bit with Shang Tsung just because their dynamic is a tiny bit interesting

• This is probably gonna be a RarePair too but Sareena x Skarlet slaps. Will I elaborate? Absolutely not :)

• Stryker x Kabal intrigues me. It's a shame we see so little of their interactions.

• This technically doesn't count as a ship but Vera Briggs and Jax are so cute despite her never being on-screen. Jax's tower ending in 11 was sweet.

• Kung Lao and Jade is a funny ship to think about just because of how horrified I feel Kitana and Liu Kang would be 😂😂

• D'vorah and Kotal have been implied to have had a thing previously and that just spices up Jade coming back in 11 and D'vorah's betrayel in X for me tbh

• I funny enough don't ship Raiden with anyone, mostly because he reminds me of my grandpa except he's not an alcoholic.

• Fujin and Nightwolf might be cute. I liked their dynamic in Aftermath.

And that's it!

I know it's a lot, but I hope it answered your question! As a disclaimer I've only had the pleasure of owning XL and 11 Ultimate, and I've watched a cutscene movie of 9 on YouTube so as to fill in the blanks until I can get the game. Needless to say I'm strictly reboot-knowledgeable since the past games beyond 9 are out of my ability to play ^^

Thanks for your ask!

Edit: I forgot to mention that if you do wanna see any of these ships content-wise from me that i'm not posting here then feel free to check out my Twitter @crimson_crimes !! I post game screenshots (I know I have a few MKX ErronJin, MK11 CageBlade and MK11 LiuTana ones I've posted) and Edits I make myself ^^
