Interesting that Goro is "only" 2000 years old - then you have Kitana and Sindel spawning 5 times that lifetime. It puts some things into perspective as just how old some characters actually are.

Have they ever actually stated Sindel's age?
I dont remember they ever stating Sindel's age, but her being Kitana's mother obviously sets her as older. Keep in mind, however, that the Edenians could perhaps have children at around the same age as regular folk (say mid-twenties to thirties, give or take), reaching adulthood at the same time and just not "becoming elderly" at the same rate. Otherwise, we could end up with a scenario where Kitana is a baby for hundreds if not thousands of years, and a bratty teenager for another thousands of years, which imo would be hilarious.
Very good points.
I don't believe so. It's not mentioned in Mortal Kombat II at all. Her ending (non-canonical) mentions her parents originally ruled Outworld, Edenia didn't exist yet.
MK2 ending states that "Kitana has learned many secrets, especially about her own past. She finds out that Mileena is not her twin but a grotesque clone created by Shang Tsung."
The earliest mention of her age in the games I could find was on her bio of MK9. Something might have been said about this in MK Shaolin Monks, but I don't remember it.
Sindel's MK3 ending says Kitana is her 10000 years old daughter.
I always thought they'd have grown up together to, but I've also read that Mileena was introduced as Kitana's "long lost sister" when she was about 9000, around the time Shao started having doubts about her.
Correct, but it's non-canon.
I recall both Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat (movie) came out in 1995, can't recall which came first. The 10,000 year old concept definitely came about in this year, though.
The game is from March, and the movie from August. Movie productions are long though, so it might have been written there first.
Just checked, MK3 arcade was out 5 months earlier, so obviously came from that, though undoubtedly the film-makers must have had some insight into the new game backstories being worked on whilst the movie was being filmed (much like how Threshold were also given usage of Quan Chi to help promote 4 and Mythologies a year before either came out), to ensure it didn't feel two-plots behind the new game it was effectively promoting. Filming began in August 1994 (around the time MK2 was only just about to be released on home consoles) and ended in December 1994, just 3 months before MK3 was released to arcades. Amazing how quickly it all moved back then!
I also loved how the movie had Kombat Kodes in the credits.
Absolutely needs fixing.
Hey that's like that old mk4 bug
I mean she has proof that a participant from the offcial pro tour used a glitch to achieve a big advantage,shouldnt this be a easy DQ and she advances instead?
Not necessarily. If this specific glitch wasn’t banned before that tournament, then there’s no reason anyone should get DQ’d for it. Yeah it’s shitty but that’s just how it goes. It’s an absolute busted glitch and it also makes no sense on why it even works in the 1st place. This always happens with NRS it seems. They fill up one hole (pause) to stop the leak in the pipe (pause), only for 2 more holes to open up (pause)
Yeah pretty strange,and i heard you have to do something really specific for it to work,so that player knew whats up and took a free 40% haha.
It happens often even if you aren't pressing anything in particular. I think if you just mash storm cell or F3 every round start you'll be able to take advantage of it pretty consistently.
I agree wholeheartedly. The MK story is complete garbage now unfortnately.
