When you look at both characters' resumes, Shao Kahn may have some bigger wins, but he's taken on much worse losses IMO. Perhaps the problem here is that Netherrealm Studios is just really bad at power scaling their characters.

that and it's really difficult to attribute feats to the characters themselves. Is quan chi that strong? or is it shinnok's amulet? can shao kahn really fold together realms? or is that elder god magic that activates from tournament rules?

They also mentioned “Merging realms”was a destructive feat. Realms can be unmerged as nitara was able to do it. Kahn also didn’t DESTROY earth just conquered it, he’s also a sore loser he needed Goro’s help to fight Onaga.

[@remnantreacts9845]

Honestly, if you ask me Akuma was the faster fighter if you include his appearance in Tekken 7 into account assuming its canon which I think it is considering surviving the Raging Demon was considered a canon feat by Heihachi Mishima in his death battle against Geese Howard, I see no reason why it isn't canon for Akuma. Akuma landed the Raging Demon on Heihachi Mishima (Granted it didn't kill him due to plot and he was caught by surprise) who could react to at least 4.09% the speed of light according to the episode mentioned above by scaling to an Inferior Jack models and Heihachi and Akuma could outmanoeuvre Jack-7s no problem. That is more then double the fastest speed feat Shao Kahn has shown. This didn't even mention the fact that Akuma wasn't in Shin Akuma or Oni form when he fought Heihachi so it's likely the gap been Akuma and Shao Kahn is even bigger then that. I am not saying that Kahn couldn't win this fight he was stronger and more powerful but that doesn't really translate into direct combat I mean Liu Kang has beaten him time and time again so between the Raging Demon and Akuma's superior speed I think Akuma should have won this.

[@Shadowdragon_TV]

Just for clarification, Liu Kang and Raiden's power combined was capable of matching Cetrion because one is a Thunder God and the other is one strong enough to beat Shao Kahn single-handedly everytime they fought. So how exactly does this mean Shao Kahn scales to the Elder Gods in power? Shao Kahn beat Raiden outside of Earthrealm each time he won, Raiden is much weaker when he steps into another realm. Even Shang Tsung feared Raiden's wrath during the first tournament that took place in Earthrealm. When Kahn invaded Earthrealm at the end of MK9, he was powered up off the majority earthrealm souls and that of the slain Earth's greatest warriors that Sindel killed. Kahn obeyed the Elder Gods' rules for a reason. If we're to get even deeper, Shao Kahn was murdered by a combined assault from Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, the same two who defeated Raiden and Liu Kang. If he truly was as mighty as the Elder Gods, he would have been Shinnok level power which he certainly was not. Kahn is a beast, but he is not Elder God level.

I don't know too many of Storms feats but this all really comes down to how they handle the avatar state power. Especially if they try to use the Giant Spirit Korra we saw against the fight with Vatuu. It was said that the battle between Rava and Vatu could wipe out all life. And She in her giant spirit state defeated Vatu while he was merged with Unaloq. However to use that giant form she had to meditate to reach the focus to use it. I do think Storm will win. Especially if they try to pull the spirit form stuff because of the meditation. Storm could just strike her with lightning and kill her while she does that.

But the sources tend to be very inconsistent as they're usually varying the power of the individuals involved to heighten the drama of a situation. Liu Kang only got to punch a hole in Shao Khan's chest because the writers thought the story demanded it. And Shao Khan only got to laugh at the Elder Gods channeling their power through Raiden so the player could have a final fight against him in the story mode.

[@KPAEIOU]

Sadly there are many flaws in the analysis. I) Centrion's beam is a fatality, it is used on an already defeated opponent unable to counter attack. II) Shao Kahn's ability to resist the combined forces of the elder gods is a very specific condition in the ending of MK (9), normally Kahn is extremely vulnerable to the powers of EG, which he fears III) The merging of the realms and the Soulnado is a procession, a ritual, NOT an ability or a power in Kahn's possession IV) Liu Kang defeated at least two times Shao Kahn (MK II & MK III), and Liu is, in almost every aspect, inferior to Akuma. V) Cutting-off Akuma's hand and countering Akuma/Oni's fist during the Raging Demon it's highly impossible: Kahn has never displayed such countering abilities and especially against the lighting speed a Raging Demon. In general: In your analysis you are using more the Shao Kahn's story data than the characters in-game characteristics but you are not doing the same in Akuma's case...The man who can sink an island, destroy mountains or counter-meteorites could easily cut-off the head, the hands or the legs of his rival and win the battle.

With all due respect you saying "the lightning speed of raging demon" Kahn defeated raiden at the end of Armageddon who's stated to move faster than lightning because you know..thunder/lightning god.

[@shepardoakenshieldprime3357]

I just don't understand this logic that Storm, the leader and insanely experienced X-Man, will fall to some rocks and water that doesn't even kill regular benders or is dodged. She has dealt with far more powerful characters, countered elementals that are more skilled than Avatars, and stomps people with far more advanced abilities/weapons than anything in the Avatar verse. But yeah, apparently Korra will just crush Storm with more ease than Kuvira. That makes sense.

[@tchoythao1730]

@@li-limandragon9287 SNK isn’t canon and Gen is on par or arguably stronger than Gouken, or at least was. Gen performed the soul empty release perfectly and fought a weaker Akuma. The only reason why Gen loses to Ryu and others is because he’s sick and dying. Elder Gods is a title and titles don’t translate to power feats in vs battles or else we could say that Cetrion dominates 616 classic Thor because he’s just a god but she’s an elder god, which is blasphemy. Blaze feat is questionable as it was during a wartime. If we put things into a timeline based on the cinematic, which the continuity does follow, then: Onaga snatched Shao Kahn away. This Onaga is a lot weaker than his prime and his Deception version as he was revived weaker after being killed by shijunko in Deception. All the fighters were rushing to fight Blaze, meaning Blaze probably had to fight multiple people. Considering that Onaga took him out of the war, we can assume that he did not fight against multiple people and kept his energy on the return. Then, there’s a highly likely chance that Shao Kahn killed the tired winner much the same way he killed Kung Lao and took the power, from the back. Basically, Onaga snatching him up was a boon that allowed him to conserve energy and adopt the element of surprise. Edit: just to add, I’m not using any Asura’s Wrath feats because Akuma from there is non-canon and can possibly solo the whole Mk verse, including possibly all the Titans at once as Oni.
