They honestly shouldnt have included Oni. He is a hypothetical form Akuma can reach. Gen himself said that Akuma is still missing what he needs to reach his maximum potential anyway....not that Oni mattered . Also Akuma may have fought Final Fight people but Oni said that he'd lose to Cody if Cody wasnt holding back and Guy is on his level.
@@xtrlsidma My problem is before they said they werent using composites because they werent the same character and now composites are being used as if the charactwr can even use said abilities in the first place
Shao Kahn DID survive a hole in his chest...but only with the aid of Quan Chi's magic. When he received that injury he was out like a light until his minions took him away after the Outworld tournament. I'm not saying Shao Kahn couldn't have beaten Akuma or anything but I don't think this was the right way to do the fight.
That argument has one flaw: He was still alive long enough to snap Lui Kang's neck. Even if he passed out after that he didn't die immediately so he didn't get the magic that saved him immediately . He did get saved in the end by it but unless I'm understanding it wrong he didn't pass out for a bit. Besides he's faced off Blaze and Raiden who are WAY stronger than Lui Kang. Not much in terms of power that Akuma can do that Shao hasn't taken on Edit: pass out not die

Also I don’t think it was ever confirmed that Shao Khan actually defeated Blaze; it has been suggested that being the cunning brute he is that he waited for Taven to beat Blaze and then stepped in to kill Taven immediately afterwards to take his godly power. But indeed the Armageddon scenario could have played out either way and as you correctly said yourself he is strong enough to beat Raiden, so he could certainly beat Blaze on his own.

The only reason I call bullshit on this outcome is that when Shao Khan got his chest impaled, he ONLY survived due to Quan Chi’s magic healing him. But otherwise, he was completely out of commission once impaled. If they were going to have Akuma do that, that should’ve been that.

My headcanon is Kronika took the souls Shao Kahn had absorbed and put them into the crown when moving him through time, both to power up the crown and to depower Shao Kahn. It is just headcanon yes, but it would also explain why he became unstoppable once more in Aftermath, after having the opportunity to absorb souls from the soul well

Look at it this way. Ryu beat Akuma in a fight that closed Ryu's revenge arc. Akuma is ridiculously OP but they've both lost to lesser characters in their own canon games. (Ryu beating Akuma and Shao Kahn losing to Kitana, etc). So it's not great to focus on specific fights all the time and instead focus on overall story power. Akuma has done some crazy shit, but none of it even comes close to Shao Kahn conquering hundreds of worlds, merging them, slurping up over 50 billion souls, and defeating every other canon character in their story in Armageddon

@@ZoanBlade90 Well, I think there is only time for three more battles this year including Korra vs Storm. So there is one unknown and the trailer indicated Aizen would battling. So Madara vs Aizen in the season finale probably.
The game doesn't explain much but in the Mortal Kombat comic books explains completely about Shao Kahn on how truly powerful he is. He could actually kill one of Marvels most powerful villians, Thanos by 5% and one of the most powerful DC' Villians, Darkseid by 1.5%. Theirs a video explains how truly powerful Shao kahn's powers and abilities and to realize how powerful game characters from Mortal Kombat can truly be. For example when Shao Kahn and Darkseid form as one evil Villian, they have become an ultimate super powerful character. The more souls Shao Kahn takes, the more powerful he gets. Total of souls Shao Kahn has gained calculates 60 billion souls for the pass 10 thousand years...
This is why Mortal Kombat's power scaling makes -no- sense. The Shun Goku Satsu -cannot- be stopped once it has reached contact unless you're quicker than Akuma, which Shao Khan can hardly keep up with Liu Kang, who is -very- likely WAY slower than Akuma. Only problem being the only person who has ever -stopped- the technique is from an entirely different plane of omnipotence. Being Asura, if I recall.
Shao Kahn can keep up with Liu Kang, you don't even know how fast Liu Kang is and you are wrong Gen was able to react to Raging Demon and Akuma is not that fast he is at MHS+ at best which is something Shao Kahn and Liu Kang can easily scale to and Asura's Wrath is not canon to Street Fighter you do realise Akuma would not have been able to keep up with Asura if he was not buffed
Mentions how Armageddon is mortal kombat 8? Did nate not remember that mk vs dc is the true mortal kombat 8 what the heck nate? Mortal kombat vs dc universe is the 8th game not Armageddon
I still take issue with the Blaze feat because in the Konquest on Armageddon it was Tavin that defeated Blaze. I could believe that Shao got the drop on Tavin afterward but, Blaze was already dead and absorbed while Shao was getting ripped apart by Onaga as per the intro of Armageddon. Neither Tavin nor Blaze were ever mentioned in the reboot. Chalk that up to lazy writing but, I need in game and story stats to buy that crap.
