@CadenceV2:
Actually you are wrong and woefully inacurate.
MK9 may be the current storyline, but the canon established in the previous games still exists, and through Raiden those past/future canon events can/do still affect the current future. Characters like Shinnok, Taven, Deagon, Fujin, Onaga, Shujinko, and many others are still around in the current timeline in some form or another biding their time with feats in tact. From what NRS has set up and shown so far, we can all see that Armageddon is still coming.
Since you claim you aren't using comics or anime (any more), and you want to say actual gameplay is in, then don't forget MK's test your might, test your strike, and challenge tower modes. In those modes MK characters are seen breaking/shattering stone, steel, diamond, iron, and even titanium, and with abilities like teleportation and flight, that gives many of MK's fighters a clear advantage in combat strength and versatility. Also, there are other moves such as Shang's fireballs, which incinerate helicopters, and Kintaro's flame, which incinerate people, have been shown to be more effective over all.
Street Fighters may be able to break down a stationary car with their strikes, but MK characters can one shot people, bridges, and moving helicopters all day long.
Lastly. Sinking an island is the same as being beaten by liu Kang? Those are the 2 events you choose to compare? Really??
Please share. What has Akuma done canonically (no anime or comics) that compares to:
- Shaking the core of the earth and almost destroying it as a byproduct of a fight (Radien and/or Shinnok, MKM)
- warping an entire plane of existence to your whim (Shinnok, MKM)
- affecting an entire planet with your power, and actually warping reality to merge it with another (Kahn MK9)
