How the Fuck was The Mortal Kombat universe going to even be a match for the DC universe? Batman straight up beats some of the best fighters in that universe

Dimensional-merging shenanigans that forced all the MK and DC fighters to equal levels.

Scorpion and Subzero are super assassins with crazy powers, scorpion is technically immortal as a revenant. Also liu kang is bruce lee so he’s automatically stronger than Batman

That is just retarded

Because they are just as powerful as DC characters. Like Sub Zero can make ice appear out of thin air and form it to be whatever he needs. He also falls into and teleports

Well that’s the explanation the game gave.

Yeah can he move faster than sound?

Scorpion's pretty much the biggest threat considering he's a teleporting immortal warrior who fights to kill, but it's true that Batman alone would give them tons of problems, not to mention just adding Lantern will simultaneously fuck up the majority of MK's cast. Add Lex Luther's cruel brilliance with Bruce's calculating control, and the MK is as good as dead. The major difference is that MK fighters line up for a tourney while DC fighters tow on multiple grounds, multiple scenarios, and multiple tiers that outscale MK power levels constantly. Shazam and Superman would laugh at pretty much every attack and could solo-tank them all, especially once you start dipping into supe's versions which break dimensions. Wonder Woman and Artemis could also kill them all as one pair.

Yeah but superman exists

Seriously Marvel and DC would shit on Capcom and Mortal combat.

you're on a comics board and call that retarted? you're just fucking dumb

Wonder Woman could take out literally any Kombatant in just about any scenario. And I only say "just about" cuz I'm sure some user can come up with some convoluted nonsense

Capcom fairs better, having gods and other absurd shit. But MK's versions of gods are so shit tier are to not stand a chance

user because its a comics board and i say that its retarded that its actually extremely retarded

MK's version of gods get dicked on by humans

Batman would get his shit kicked in, all he can do is fight decently and throw boomerangs. He would get rekt by teleporting magic ninja assassins who have zero issues with stabbing him in the face

Raiden would beat supes of he got his immortal God powers back.

Would make an interesting "football" style story of getting him where he needs too go before the JLs show up.

I thought the gods enter the tournaments as mortals. Mortals on godlike steroids, but mortals.

Considering that people like the Flash lose to a guy with one eye and guns its not that absurd.

>wonder woman could take out literally any Kombatant
>Katana and Jade are over a thousand years old same as Wonder Woman who have also trained to fight their entire lives

My official head canon is he likes to bake.

You seriously underestimate how powerful the mk characters are.

The explanation from the game is that superman is as weak to magic as he is kryptonyte.

This.
Many of them are demons, gods or trained assassins with centuries of experience. Most of the MK cast would body Batman. Superman is tough, but Gods like Raiden and Shinnok would give him problems. They are immortal and are powerful magic users....a weakness of Superman.

>literally Mr. Freeze mixed with Batman

Bruce wouldn't stand a chance.

Even jobbers like Baraka and Reptile could give Batman a run for his money.

Three Flashes got bodied by Catwoman of all people, so let's not act like moving fast is fucking impressive anymore.

user bats faces teleporters before

Yeah but can any of them lift tanks and use them as wepons?

Were they also ninja assassins with magic powers?

user lue kang lost before
user that was mind control

Reptile maybe, but do you really think Baraka is a threat to anyone but himself?

yes

Would Kabal tap into the Speed Force?

Baraka is really tough at least, hes survived being cut in half. I hear he managed to beat up kung lao before as well.

You mean three flashes mind controlled by a non speedster, Ivy might as well have been a turtle driving a sportscar.

>mind control means they aren't faster than fucking Catwoman
What level of cope is this?

>he doesn’t know about kurrent liu kang

>Hur dur u seething

Still a bitch to Green lanturn, Superman or Wondrwoman

I didn't tell DC to make Catwoman beat three Flashes so I don't know why you want to take it out on me. Maybe you should calm down a little. :^)

Thats kind of dumb then considering he has trouble with humans and guys on steroids have beaten his ass before

>:^)
Where ever your from. Go back

Liu kang could kill gods with just his martial arts, now he has shazam tier power to back it up

I accept your concession

user Guy on steroids is strong enough to punch through solid metals. The only other regular humans he has problem with is uber trained ones

user MK gods where punks. Wonderwoman would of had them as minor villians. Lui kang is just at herlevel

>weakness of Superman
It's so completely annoying that hack writers have latched onto this so much! Originally his "weakness to magic" was the same as Thor's or Hulk's or anybody else. It was stuff like turning him to stone or trapping him in an unbreakable bubble, now it's "lmao, my sword shits lightning, it's magic so you die." Then you've got the conundrum of does the sword generate real lightning or the platonic idea of lightning? And if it's the idea of lightning does Superman's invulnerability just disappear around it or can it destroy any material?

Which is literally all the MK characters.

Every MK character is that strong plus martial arts masters plus have magic powers.

user most human characters arnt that strong. And they are considered the best fighters

Every single one of them can throw around full grown men and literally punch holes in people.

They are worthless jobbers aside from Cassie, Liu Kang, and Johnny who do have magic powers. Or Kano who has cybernetic enhancements and can shoot fucking laser beams out of his eye.

user fatalities arn't canon

Cant be Jobbers when the Universe its self treats them as if they are Powerful

Except for all the ones that actually happen, lite pulling cyborg heads off and and beating other cyborgs to death with iy

user those are the ninjas and even then batman has faced down stronger opponents

Doesnt change the fact that they literally pull their heads off with one hand. Show me batman do that.

He had his ass kicked by guys in white armor for a bit. He’s a ‘god’ but we’ve all seen how shit tier gods are, especially the elder ones.

Those guys were hopped up on time juice, plus he was fighting in frozen time.

Why does MK pick Liu Kang, its most boring character as essentially the main character? Even Jax has more personality.

Arguably Raiden is the main character these days.

You mean the immortal revenants of his best friend who is as skilled as him, a thousand year old assassin and her bodyguard, all of whom are boosted even higher by god power, that he proceeded to decimate at the same time? And then beat an elder god and her mom who could recreate reality?

Liu Kang got sidelined throughout the PS2 games even up to MKX. It's only now with MKXI that he was the main character again.

Anyway, usually the main character in fighting games is a basic type with straight forward controls, with more "extreme" or gimmicky characters being side-ones.

As far as mortal kombat goes, specifically, originally it was inspired by Chinese martial arts movies, so it made sense that Liu Kang was the main character. He got sidelined exactly when the series got more comic-booky with the PS2 games.

We all know that was utter bullshit. Just because it happened doesn't mean it should be taken seriously. We are dealing with characters who break the laws of physics all the time, but something that so obviously ridiculous and impossible should be dismissed as bad writing.

Because it's a video game.

Its hard to dismiss stupid shit when it constantly keeps happening.

Well there are a lot of bad writers unfortunately.

Capcom gets bodied just as hard, Hal Jordon is stronger than Capcoms most powerful heroes alone.

Marvel has weaker earth heroes than Capcoms various superhuman beings and fighters but Thor, Hulk, Dr strange, and Ghost rider make up for the weaker heroes and completely dominate all Capcom verses.

Dunno, how the fuck can Ryu kick Thor ass at Marvel vs Capcom? How is Mario able to defeat Samus at Super Smash Bros?

Oh yeah...because crossovers never give a fuck about power lvls you fucking brainlet

If we include all of Capcom, then that includes Okami and Monster Hunter Frontier. The former has Amaterasu fucking with whole galaxies casually, and the later is well...Frontier.

If you were to tackle this concept again in a way that sort of makes sense, you'd need to remove Superman as step 1. When the portal from Outrealm to DC Earth is opened, Superman is lured through and ambushed by Shao Khan's greatest magicians, who led by Quan Chi kill him and raise him as a Revenant.

Now the villains have THE heaviest hitter of either setting, giving a threat that would require both sides to meet as well as conflict. Earthrealm would be tricked into thinking Superman is the vanguard of a DC invasion, while the Justice League would think it was this alternate Earth that zombified him. From there you can make whatever wild scenarios you please:
>Liu Kang vs the League of Assassins
>Shazam and Raiden beating up Netherrealm
>Sub Zero canonically knows of Injustice, so he immediately seeks out Batman to join forces
>Joker trying to terrorize Earthrealm only to get indignant and spooked that these heroes go for kill shots
>Johnny Cage and Big Barda hypnotized into doing a porno and Sonya teaming up with Mr. Miracle to prevent it

To be honest, in XI I found Liu Kang refreshing. Just a good fucking guy with a simple goal of fugging his waifu in peace, it's a counterbalance to the increasingly colorful and sometimes very annoying characters MK thrusts into the spotlight, especially since they've had some kind of allergy towards letting Johnny take more screentime than his jackass kid.

The whole kombat kids thing was a mistake and a waste of roster space for boring ass characters with no personality.

>Batman straight up beats some of the best fighters in that universe
casual

>Reptile casually dodge several bullets
>Raiden destroy a temple big enough to put thousands of soldiers inside with one single attack
>Raiden destroy part of a bridge with his punches
>Liu Kang is able to throw people several meters high with his kick
>Goro defeated and captured entire armed army squad easily
>Liu kang slaughtered hundred of soldiers by himself

Mortal Kombat characters are all superhuman

Ivy was controlling them tho

Reminder that Shinnok, an Elder God, when having absorbed the entirety of Earth's lifeforce, was canonically beaten by a Cassie Cage, a human girl.

With some mystical green Mary Sue powers.

A human girl descended from a tribe of magic warriors specifically bred to fuck up gods. Dont be facetious user.

When did Johnny Cage beat Shinnok? It gets referenced but I legit can't remember it. Have I just blocked some part of X's story from my mind?

I was about to say killing superman and making him evil was lame but the cage/barda porno sounds kino

>what is PIS
Captain America is officially a Peak Human and he kicked The Hulk ass,

Start of mkX, pretending it never happened is for the best

That shouldn't mean a damn thing compared to a super-duper god with a heaping power boost from the ENTIRE Earthrealm. MK powerlevels are bullshit.
The very beginning, when they trap him in the amulet.

That power is supposedly elder god kryptonite, and mk9 Johnny tower ending had an accidental burst of it annihilate a whole city

>I was about to say killing superman and making him evil was lame
Well naturally the final chapter is rezzing him and running a train on the villains

user, Chinese monks are winning martial arts tournaments against sorcerers and giant four armed half-dragons.
Powerlevels mean nothing in Mortal Kombat.

>No Chameleon

Good. Wait... Goddammit.

It’s just injustice has done evil superman already

>Implying that would stop Netherrealm from recycling a plot

>Batman straight up beats some of the best fighters in that universe
Bat-wank at its finest 95% of the characters has some kind of supernatural ability. The other 5% use tech that can rip Bruce apart.

Which MK fighters could batman beat exactly? Raiden is a god, scorpions a hellspawn and in hell is basically god, lui Kang regularly beats shao khan and other op and other warlords/sorcerers. Batman would be in the middling grounds

Unironically, I think a lot of MK could translate well to DC. League of Shadows and the Brotherhood of Shadow combined would be a strong clan. Liu Kang and Kung Lao train in Nanda Parbat or train with O-Sensei with Richard, Shiva and Ben. Special Forces combines with ARGUS or the DEO. It'd be pretty neat.

Let me dream of a better world

He could beat pretty much anyone from Kung Lao and downwards as far as Earthrealm goes, and could at least survive a round with bye ninja

I dunno. Lao is a pretty good martial artist, too, and he has a really quick teleport.

The brown one is Tremor, right?

DmC is pretty strong

Rage. Some magic gobbledygook that levels everyone's power.

Yes

MK fighters have Chi-based martial arts that are kinda like magic fireballs or magic-infused kicks and punches that can hurt Superman

mortal kombat actually kills their opponent, dc is for children

>Reptile casually dodge several bullets
The only person on the dc roster for that game that can't dodge bullets is Lex
>Raiden destroy a temple big enough to put thousands of soldiers inside with one single attack
If you're talking about the end if deception he basically had to nuke himself to destroy a temple of decayed soldiers in decrepit armor, AND STILL naga survived. So he's building tier at best big whoop
>Raiden destroy part of a bridge with his punches
Oh wow, he's like the strongest guy ever with that one.
>Goro defeated and captured entire armed army squad easily
Everyone without a name in MK is a jobber. Non feat
>Liu kang slaughtered hundred of soldiers by himself
Liu Kang also got buttfucked by Quan Chi (read: jobber) and Shang Tsung (super jobber) before it was cool

MK characters are all fucking worthless. Scorpion gets fucking murdered out of nowhere, Liu Kang has to get a power up from a god to be useful and he's pretty much out of comission now that he's going to be babysitting time itself, Sub-zero does fuck all. You've got nothing

I wouldn’t say Shang Tsung is a jobber. Dude usually got his way

Which do you think?
>Grandmaster with incredibly varied techniques involving ice, such as making weapons, sliding around, teleporting somehow, making ice statues of himself that can freeze people as effectively as a normal ice blast, and more
>The guy who was only playable in the original and a sidestory/prequel, with fairly basic ice moves, before he went and got himself killed, and switched to spooky shadowy ghost powers that replaced his old ice-style because reasons

Is Bi-Han even Sub Zero to most people?

It's not a weakness, he isn't allergic to magic. He is simply effected by it. He has no magical resistance, thus he is vulnerable.

Well it's easier to say weakness, even if it isn't quite as accurate.

>no Sektor or Cyrax

Fuck you.

Still, nice of them to remember Nightwolf and Sindel after leaving them out of the story.

Bump

They were dlc last time dumbass

>How the Fuck was The Mortal Kombat universe going to even be a match for the DC universe?
The same way Phoenix Wright can fight againts the Hulk and Galactus you fucking autist

Not the same user, but what crazy shit happened in Frontier? Never played it. Played Okami though and I know the exact moment of galaxy fuckery you mentioned. She can also fix rivers made of stardust and play connect the dots with constellations.
