ugh so regretting putting my name on the MK call list. They put me in these ridiculous threads.

Green Arrow is likely faster & has better shown skill, plus a major versatility advantage.

Yep, and still gets the crip beaten out of him.

I didn't know Ollie was a Crip.

Kang gets incapacitated as soon as the fight starts.

@imperfect_cell: He will be after this match.

Moving on, how is Kang beating Ollie?

Starts 25 feet away, that is more than enough space for Ollie to take his arse down. Whether it be a foam arrow, net arrow, sedative arrow, knockout gas arrow, or electricity arrow Liu Kang is going down. Oliver is faster and has tagged people much faster than Kang, he wins this fight effortlessly. I would bet on new 52 Green arrow winning as well, Oliver was able to hit Grifters mask while dodging bullets, grifter is a bullet timer. Making this composite just makes this that much harder to argue for Liu, but I know people are going to say he wins because MK fans always think MK characters win.

That's kinda what I thought.

@imperfect_cell: When Kang has taken hits from Goro, Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung on a regular basis, and remained unscathed, A little electric arrow isn't going to keep him down. How many arrows can Ollie fire per second? Because he's only got half of a second to react before Kang's foot is right in his face. All those who believe Ollie (a non-meta human) is faster than Liu Kang are either completely ignorant of MK lore, or are just deluded fanboys.

@thanofleeze: I think GA trick arrows can do the trick, but Kang is better than him at fighting.

Have we ever seen him take hits from Goro or Kahn though? Those guys are slugs, & Kang is supposed to be one of the faster fighters. I don't see what's so great about Shang's striking power.

Even if we are to count in-game fights, why would you say an electric arrow wouldn't keep him down? Kang has never displayed electrical resistance to my knowledge. And that doesn't speak for any of Ollie's other arrows, like the Cryo, Net, Fire, Foam, Fire-Foam, Tornado, Sonic, Bullsh!t powerful explosive, etc.

New 52 Ollie has been stated to shoot, reload, & shoot in 2.5 seconds IIRC, but his feats have him firing volleys of arrows before someone can pull a trigger, which takes less than half a second.

While Ollie isn't a metahuman, he still manages to evade people like Deathstroke in close quarters, who has speed that far surpasses Kang's, & anyone Kang's faced.

How do blunt force resistance feats do anything to say electricity won't effect on Liu kang? Those feats do nothing to speak for resistance to electricity, and Oliver has sooo many other options trick arrow wise.

How many arrows can Ollie fire per second? Because he's only got half of a second to react before Kang's foot is right in his face.

Prove to me Kang can move 25 feet in "half a second."

. All those who believe Ollie (a non-meta human) is faster than Liu Kang are either completely ignorant of MK lore, or are just deluded fanboys.

Throw out some speed feats, calling people ignorant or fanboys does not speak at all for Liu kangs speed.

Oboy.
