Mortal Kombat vs Killer Instinct, Dragon vs Tiger, when two Shaolin monks faces off each other, their killer instinct will be the only thing they have to survive in this mortal kombat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92H3Mscg7QQ

<Cue: Invader Theme>

Toomi: Liu Kang, the champion of Mortal Kombat,

Megumi: And Jago, the warrior monk,

Toomi: There are many different fighting game characters, but these two are the most normal main heroes of they're respective franchises.

Megumi: And these two got super powerful after training with the shaolin monks. She's Sachi, Toomi and I'm Megumi.

Sachi: And it's our job to analyse their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle

Liu Kang Fly Kicks into What if Battles

<Cue: You Are Good by Chelsea Amber>

Toomi: Orphaned at a young age, Liu Kang was taken in and raised by the Order of Light's Shaolin Monks, deep within the mountains of China

Megumi: And with the fate of the entire planet on the line because of some powerful evil Emperor hosting a Mortal Kombat tournament, the thunder God Raiden came to the Shaolin Temple and upon seeing Liu Kang's talent for martial arts, he was convinced that he was Earthrealm's last hope.

Sachi: So he took the young warrior monk and had him trained by the legendary Outworld martial arts master, Bo' Rai Cho. And after several years of training, he was enrolled in the secret White Lotus Society, which Raiden had created to protect Earthrealm

Toomi: With Shao Kahn just one victory away from conquering their world, Liu Kang was chosen by his Shaolin Grandmaster to defeat Shang Tsung. While he was successful, his battle was far from over and he would continue to protect Earthrealm from constant threats.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf5_ljEs0W8

Liu Kang: Show me what you can do.

Megumi: Now I know because of his design being based off Bruce Lee, Liu Kang is definitely good in kung fu, especially Jeet Kun Do, which makes up of his punch, kicks, and grapples.

Sachi: He also knows Choy Lay Fut, a defensive style suitable for fighting multiple opponents.

Toomi: But his training with the Shaolin enable Liu Kang to use Dragon Fire where he can channel flames which he can use as a projectile or engulf them in his fists and legs to use as an offense against his opponents.

Sachi: One such move his his Flying Dragon Kick where he flies towards his opponent with a kick.

Megumi: Dragon Fire where he shoots fire at his opponents as a form of long range attack, and Low Dragon Fire which is pretty much the same except aiming towards the opponent's legs.

Toomi: But my personal favourite is his Bicycle Kick where flies towards his opponents while performing multiple kicks, striking them on the chest repeatly which kinda sounds hilarious while doing it.

Toomi: But as our previous Mortal Kombat characters that came and went, Liu Kang too also have his own Fatality where he can one, turn into a dragon to eat his opponent or two, where he performs a backflip kick, launching the opponent into the air, before charging his feet with ki and jumping up and tearing his opponent in half with his legs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Xy28aetig

<Shows footages of Liu Kang performing his MKX Fatality>

Sachi: His skills have also gave him an impressive win record, having defeated powerful enemies ranging from Kitana, Scorpion, Quan Chi, Goro, Kintaro, Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, Shinnok, Cetrion and Kronika.

Megumi: He can also shatter diamonds, shatter bones, punch through metal and even emit fire hot enough to rip his opponents into half with his legs alone.

Toomi: Though Liu Kang is already powerful as he is, with the help of Raiden, Liu Kang fused himself with Raiden and his revenant counterpart to turn himself into Fire God Liu Kang

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQVzDU1tB6M

<Shows footages of Liu Kang becoming a Fire God>

Sachi: Which as you guessed, amped Liu Kang's power even more, enabling him to kill large number of revenants and even battle Kronika across time before killing her and then he fought Shang Tsung for control of Kronika's Hour Glass before defeating him in one ending and becoming the keeper of time.

Feats

His Chi can possibly break Diamond, according to Shang Tsung (Comics).

Chopped a titanium Mortal Kombat sign and broke it.

Defeated Ermac , Scorpion, Quan Chi , Goro, Shang Tsung, Kintaro, Shao Kahn , Kitana, Kung Lao, Shinnok, Cetrion, Kronika and Shang Tsung.

As a zombie slaughtered multiple Shaolin monks.

Has saved Earthrealm multiple times.

Managed to catch and throw the Wrath Hammer.

Can turn into a dragon and summon Mortal Kombat machines.

As a Revenant, Helped the other Revenants beat up Raiden and took Shinnok's throne after his defeat.

Defeated his own Revenant form.

Turn into God of Fire and Thunder in Mortal Kombat 11 after Raiden mixed his revenant counterpart with him.

Along with Kitana, become the new Keeper of Time and space after Kronika was destroyed.

Defeated Shang Tsung, while he held Kronika's Crown.

Toomi: And just to note that defeating Kronika is no small feat. Being a Titan means that Kronika is levels beyond Elder Gods, beings that creates the universe which also includes Cetrion who is much stronger than Raiden who destroyed all life on Earth while fighting Shinnok. And with Kronika being able to control time to create new timelines and erase beings from existence, Liu Kang not only resisted her powers but even bested her in combat.

Megumi: Damn, wouldn't that alone pretty much throws out all Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat matchups cause there's no way any Street Fighter characters gonna defeat that?

Toomi: Maybe but that's not saying Liu Kang don't have his own set of flaws, being a more agile character means that Liu Kang's speed and agility can be counter by physically stronger opponents like Goro or Jax in battle.

Sachi: And while Liu Kang has defeated many opponents, characters like Shang Tsung and Quan Chi and killed him with their deadly alliance although that was changed when Kung Lao took his place and defeated the two in battle.

Megumi: Plus the fact he has been killed and turned into a revenant.

Weakness

Killed by the Deadly Alliance of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi.

Was unable to reunite with his reanimated body.

Has been defeated and killed by Raiden, before being reanimated by Quan Chi into a Revenant alongside his allies.

Was also defeated and killed by Raiden in Multiple different timelines.

Weapons are not always useful.

Spirit passed on after Nightwolf died on the Battle of Armageddon, and so did his body.

Parry can be punished by low attacks and specials.

Toomi: Though in cases like theses was partially because of Raiden's fault. While Liu Kang has bested many opponents, Raiden is the one fighter who not only kept him on his toes but has beaten him in many occasions, even with one where they fought the heroes from the DC Universe only to end up killing Liu Kang in several timelines.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJnjIXjdJYs

Raiden: By the Gods! No!

Sachi: And while all of that changed during the events of Mortal Kombat 11, it does not change the fact that with Scorpion killing Quan Chi, Liu Kang was unable to return to his living body.

Megumi: But hey, if there is a good ending where Godly Liu Kang and an immortal Kitana can live together to create a timeline together, then I can say that Liu Kang has earned his title as Champion of Mortal Kombat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SevCo6AjJMU

Liu Kang: By the Elder Gods, you will fall

Shao Kahn: They're dead, you buffoon

Liu Kang: In Shaolin's hearts, they are eternal.

Jago Windkicks into What if Battles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roughtzsCDI

<Cue: Ring Ding Dong by SHINee>

Toomi: Deep inside of a temple deep in the Tibetan Mountains, there sits a lone warrior battling a inner conflict that had raged on for years. Despite his primal urges, this warrior always maintains to keep the powers from within at bay.

Megumi: And that would be a shirtless buff dude covered in tattoos named Jago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbLixfz94Ls

<Shows footages of Jago sitting on the ground, looking back before getting up and getting into a fighting stance>

Toomi: But such strong fighters don't come without a background story, similar to his opponent, Jago was orphaned and left at the temples of the Himalayas where the monks took him in and trained him

Sachi: But as he reaches adulthood, a fellow warrior under the influence of an evil force tried to murder him, but Jago killed the man in self-defense.

Toomi: To atone for this sin he became a hermit, isolating himself in a mountain cave and turning his thoughts inward, meditating on his actions and the guilt he carried from the act. During this time, he was visited by the Tiger Spirit and infused with a tremendous power.

Sachi: The Spirit informed Jago that he must destroy the mega-corporation UltraTech by entering the Killer Instinct Tournament

Megumi: Jago shoulda thought twice because he began to grow more violent and angry to a point where he nearly murdered his own sister. Yeah, hindsight exists for a reason.

Toomi: Well, either way, Jago ultimately won the tournament and upon returning to his temple, he discovered that the Tiger Spirit was actually a manifestation of the demonic warlord, , who corrupted Jago by his own evil will and a result, had him possessed by the entity named , turning him into a monster.

Megumi: After a long ass battle within his mind of trying free himself, Jago ultimately won out and he soon made a new goal. Beat the shit out Gargos and make him pay for turning you into an asshole.... Well, it's one way to put it if I'm being honest here.

Toomi: Jago's skill as a warrior is commendable to be sure. Given how he was trained by Monks in his youth, His Martial Arts skill is definitely something to be sure of with many fighting styles under his sash from Kung Fu, Tae Kwan Do, combined with his sword skill. Ranging from his Kora Sword or his Katana... Which can fire lasers apparently...

Sachi: He can also shoot fire, use telekinesis to crush foes with a car, and can turn into a ghost. Jago can also attack his foes with the Endokuken, a powerful short-ranged fireball that can be charged up for more powerful results or the Windkick that can sometimes allow him to cross the whole entire stage with enough speed and momentum. Jago can even perform this move two times in a row with the Double Roundhouse as well

Megumi: Tiger's Fury allows Jago to attack his foes from bellow with a swift uppercut, and he can juggles his opponent with this said attack for three times and a row. But that's not all, Jago can double the amount of power in his attacks with Shadow Energy, attacking with greater force and speed.

Instinct Mode

Toomi: But when Jago's Instinct Meter reaches it's peak, he taps into Tiger Focus which grants him a yellow aura surrounding his body. With it, he can not only shoot two more Endokukens all at once but it can even heal him of any damage inflicted upon him as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q4pyoSNuNc

<Shows footages of Jago tapping into his Tiger Focus>

Sachi: And even then, Jago himself is surely one powerful warrior. He's strong enough to launch heavyweights such as Fulgore, Aganos, Eyedol with a single kick. For comparison, Fulgore weighs about 560 pounds but also let's not forget that Aganos is literally the largest character in the Killer Instinct, standing at 8 feet so he surely must weigh ALOT more than Fulgore.

Megumi: The guy is also strong enough to go up against Gargos of all demons, and that noseless bastard was able to disperse clouds at a worldwide scale! He can also tank serious punishment from getting nailed in the stomach by Fulgore's plasma claws, his chest beam, beatings from Gargos, and even being thrown into orbit and surviving Atmospheric reentry. And all this guy is wearing is just pants and a mask.

Toomi: Jago's speed is also something to be applauded as he can keep pace with the likes of Chief Thunder, who can summon and even dodge lightning. He's also evaded Eyedol's meteors and Fulgore's chest beam several times. He can also keep pace with Gargos, he traveled from his home dimension to the Earth within seconds.

Sachi: However, when backed up into a corner and with nowhere else to hide, Jago will ultimately force himself into undergoing the powers of Gargos, Jago will lose his honor and become possessed by Omen. Resulting in him converting into a horrid beast known simply as Shadow Jago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=724wbNpDSCU

<Shows footages of Shadow Jago appearing, emitting dark energy before facing his opponent>

Megumi: In this state, Jago becomes far more powerful than he already is. Being able to use dark energy to enhance his attacks and even teleport, like his martial art skills haven't been crazy enough.

Sachi: He's also got an Instinct Mode of his own called Dark Gift, where it works as the same as Tiger Focus but in this form, it creates a dark tether around his opponents and himself, allowing him to perform more shadow moves.

Feats

Defeated Orchid.

Defeated Sabrewulf.

Defeated Shadow Jago.

Exorcised Omen himself.

Defeated his personal assassin.

Reunited with his sister, Orchid.

Won the third Killer Instinct Tournament.

Was trained the the legendary Abbot.

Defeated Gargos 2,000 years in the past.

Has defeated a countless number of "Omens."

Became the strongest Tiger Monk at the fastest pace.

After a long period of meditation Jago had mastered the Tiger Spirit.

Fought against UltraTech's Butcher, Fulgore on three separate occasions.

First time Jago demolished Fulgore.

Second time Jago needed Orchid's help.

Third time Jago and Fulgore fought to a standstill

Can lift a car with telekinesis.

Destroyed a wooden pillar with a single kick.

Toomi: One other unique feature regarding Shadow Jago is that he has the ability to erase memories such as what he did to the Immortal Barbarian, Tusk, after defeating him and taking away parts of his memory. It messed him so bad that a literal shop owner who saw the fight had to re-jog his memory of their fight.

Megumi: Damn, that's the equivalent of having to having some rando who saw you get shitfaced tell you about the dumb stuff ya did after a terrible hangover

Toomi: Despite the immense power Jago is given here, it comes with a massive downside. The more Jago spends time as Shadow Jago, the more his soul gets torn apart as he is driven further and further into madness

Sachi: And as his base form, Jago isn't really much a team player and usually works by himself.

Megumi: Hell, that's what screwed him over when he faced off against Gargos for the first time.

Weakness

Constantly keeping himself in control to not give into the influences of Gargos.

The longer he stays as Shadow Jago, the more he plunges into madness

Not a teamplayer

Skilled in many Martial Arts, expert in none.

Charging an Endokuken can leave him wide open.

Toomi: Another problem of Jago is that while he is skilled in many different types of martial arts, Jago is an expert in none of them, having been bested by more skilled opponents in battle

Sachi: And charging an Endokuken can leave him wide open

Megumi: You better not be trespassing in his monastery, otherwise, Jago is gonna show you why he don't mess around.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hulnKfO-ypQ

Jago: I'm afraid your path ends here.

Toomi: Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.

Sachi: Don't forget to vote, comment what you think of the fight.

Megumi: Yeah, but right now, it's time for a Death Battle!

Fight

Sky Temple

On the courtyard of the Sky Temple, Liu Kang moves his hands in a slow circular fashion, training as he prepares for the next Mortal Kombat tournament.

Just then, Liu Kang sensed something approaching him, causing him to swerve his head back, narrowingly dodging a fire ball.

FWOOM!!!

Liu Kang looks up, seeing a tall muscular shirt less man armed with a sword approaching him.

Liu Kang: Who are you, what do you want?

Jago: I sense great power in you, now fight me! For I want redemption.

Liu Kang: Impressive, show me what you can do.

Both Liu Kang and Jago faces each other as the two Shaolins prepares to fight.

Announcer: Fight!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vobOK4zbqMs

<Cue: Kung Fu Fighting by Fatboy Slim>

Jago: Endokuken!

Liu Kang: WAAA TAWWW!!!

Both Jago and Liu Kang fires a projectile at each other which cause them to explode upon impact.

BOOM!!!

Jago narrows his eyes just as Liu Kang lunges out, performing is Dragon Flying Kick as he slams into Jago's head.

BAM!!!

CRACK!!!

Bones deep within Jago's skull cracked as the Shaolin stumbles back, dazed by the attack as Liu Kang began attacking him with a flurry of punches and kicks.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

Liu Kang then performs his Dragon Tail attack, emitting a burst of fire as he performs a cartwheel, sending Jago flying.

FWOOSH!!!

Jago: ARGHHHHHH!!!

Jago screams out in agony as he was sent flying in the air.

Liu Kang jumps up, preparing to throw a punch when Jago brandishes his nunchuck, counter attacking the Earthrealm champion by swinging it down onto him.

BAM!!!

Announcer: COMBO BREAKER!!!

Liu Kang: WAAAAHHHHH!!!

Liu Kang screams out as he was sent crashing down onto the floor

CRASH!!!

As Liu Kang bounces up, Jago attacks him with a combination of kicks and punches.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

Before Jago could swing his Kora Sword at Liu Kang, right at that moment, Liu Kang summons a burst of flames, countering the Tiger Warrior.

FWOOSH!!!

Jago falls back as Liu Kang moves towards him.

Both Shaolin monks began exchanging blows amongst themselves.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!!

Liu Kang swings his leg out, delivering a round house kick across Jago's jaw.

WHAM!!!

Jago retaliates by performing his Tiger Fury, striking Liu Kang under the chin as he sends him flying with a powerful uppercut.

POW!!!

Liu Kang spins in the air, landing feet first onto the roof of the temple before lunging towards Jago, drawing his sword just as Jago draws out his own, the two clashing into each other.

CLANG!!!

Liu Kang bouncer back before throwing the sword at Jago to which Jago destroys it by firing an Endokuken at it.

Jago: Endokuken!

BOOM!!!

Both Jago and Liu Kang faces each other as Liu Kang compliments him.

Liu Kang: You're good, but let's see how long you can endure.

Jago: Underestimating me will be your downfall.

Jago activates his Instinct, summoning a Tiger silhouette around himself as he launches himself forward, only for Liu Kang to counter him with his signature bicycle kick.

Liu Kang: Yuyuyuyuyuyu!!!

WHACKA!!! WHACKA!!! WHACKA!!! WHACK!!!

Jago's body ringed with agony from the blows as Liu Kang engulfs his fist in flames before throwing a punch across his face.

WHAM!!!

Liu Kang then began attacking Jago with an aggressive combination of punches, striking Jago repeatly acoss his body.

BAM!!! BAM!!! BAM!!!

Jago takes three more consecutive hits before his eyes flashes white.

SHING!!!

Before Liu Kang could react, Jago lets out a loud scream as he unleashes a powerful burst of aura.

Jago: YAAAHHHHH!!!

WUUUSSSHHH!!!

Liu Kang: WHOOOOAAAA!!!

Liu Kang screams out as he crashes backfirst into a statue.

CRACK!!!

As the Shaolin pushes himself up, he widens his eyes in shock at Jago's sudden change of appearance.

Jago's body is now engulfed completely in darkness, emitting dark aura as he faces Liu Kang, his eyes white.

Jago has transformed into Shadow Jago!

Liu Kang: I don't know what theatrics is this but I shall not be intimidated by it!

Liu Kang declares out as he fires a ball of fire onto him.

FWOOM!!!

Shadow Jago draws his sword as he swings it out, neutralizing the flames before shouting out.

Shadow Jago: I shall destroy you!

Shadow Jago lunges forward, pulling out his sword as Liu Kang jumps back, backflipping backwards as he narrowingly dodges a swing from Shadow Jago.

Liu Kang lands feet first on the ground, launching another ball of fire onto Shadow Jago.

FWOOM!!!

Shadow Jago clenches his fist, summoning an orb of dark tether before throwing a punch, neutralizing Liu Kang's Dragon Fire before lunging towards him.

Shadow Jago: EYYYAAAA!!!

Liu Kang raises up his arm, blocking a punch from Shadow Jago only for the latter to strike him with an elbow.

WHAM!!!

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!

Liu Kang winces in agony as Shadow Jago strikes him repeatly before throwing one powerful uppercut.

POW!!!

Announcer: COMBO BREAKER!!!

Liu Kang: ARGHHHHHH!!!

Liu Kang screams out in agony as he was sent flying up into the air before collapsing onto the floor.

Shadow Jago stood over the fallen Shaolin monk, declaring out to him

Shadow Jago: I'm afraid your path ends here.

Shadow Jago's fists began charging up a sphere of dark energy as the warrior monk prepares to finish off his opponent.

Shadow Jago: It's over!

However, right at that moment,Liu Kang's body disappears in a puff of smoke, stopping Shadow Jago.

POOF!!!

Shadow Jago: Hm?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoPufVt2d0Y

<Cue: Mortal Kombat X Rap>

Shadow Jago looks around, confused at his opponent's disappearance.

Just where has he gone?

However, right at that moment, another figure emerges from a portal behind Shadow Jago, saying to him.

???: Not bad. But I'm afraid this isn't your victory to claim.

Shadow Jago turns around, his eyes widens in shock.

Though the figure is Liu Kang, his features however are completely different.

His long dark hair is now silvery white in color, his eyes white and his body now engulfed completely in an overwhelming amount of energy, too powerful to be a mortal, powerful enough to be considered a God.

Fire God Liu Kang faces Shadow Jago and he declares out.

Fire God Liu Kang: The hourglass shows me the one that gives you that power and I shall help rid you of this evil!

Shadow Jago: This fight shall be over before you know it! Endokuken!

Shadow Jago fires a dark Endokuken at Fire God Liu Kang who fires a crackle of electricity at it, causing it to explode upon impact.

KABOOM!!!

BZZZTTT!!!

Fire God Liu Kang reappears behind Shadow Jago before swinging his leg out, striking the monk in the cheek.

WHAM!!!

Fire God Liu Kang engulfs his fists in fire and electricity as he began throwing a combination of punches onto Shadow Jago.

WHAM!!! BAM!!! POW!!! BZZZT!!! FWOOM!!!

Fire God Liu Kang throws one powerful upper cut, sending Shadow Jago flying upwards.

BAM!!!

Shadow Jago: ARGHHHHHH!!!

Fire God Liu Kang then began crackling with electricity as he flies up into the air, electrocuting Shadow Jago with a burst of electricity.

BZZZZZTTTT!!!

Shadow Jago: ARGHHHHH!!!

As Fire God Liu Kang stops electrocuting Shadow Jago, he spreads out his hand, generating electricity as he creates a dragon resembling the Mortal Kombat symbol, causing the lightning dragon to fly around before biting down onto Shadow Jago.

CHOMP!!!

Shadow Jago: WAAAHHHHH!!!

Shadow Jago screams out in agony as the dragon brought him down before slamming him hard onto the floor, creating a massive explosion.

KABOOM!!!

As the explosion dies down, Fire God Liu Kang flies down as Shadow Jago stumbles in dizziness, the dark energy enveloping his body disappearing as he reverts back into his base form.

Fire God Liu Kang faces Jago as the annnouncer announces out.

Announcer: Finish Him!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wecXflv33Lc

<Cue: Mortal Kombat 11 Fatality Theme Song>

Liu Kang performs a backflip kick, launching his opponent into the air, before charging his feet with ki and jumping up and tearing Jago in half with his legs.

SPLURCH!!!

Jago: ARGHHHHHH!!!

Jago screams out in agony as his body splits into two, pouring blood as he falls backwards.

Liu Kang then transforms himself into a dragon before opening his jaws, biting down onto Jago's upper half before devouring it completely.

Gulp!

FWOOM!!!

The dragon reverts back into Liu Kang as Liu Kang faces the audience, bowing as the announcer concludes the fight.

Announcer: Liu Kang wins. Fatality!

KO!

<Cue: Compound I Love You by Jincheng Zhang>

Megumi: Whoo! That's what I call a Kungfu showdown.

Toomi: Both Liu Kang and Jago are skilled in their own style of martial arts but Liu Kang holds a massive advantage over Jago in many ways.

Sachi: Being trained by Gods and beings from other realms means that Liu Kang has more versatility in his fighting style compared to Jago who is only trained by shaolin monks and humans.

Toomi: While Jago has fought a variety of opponents ranging from werewolves, mummies, cyborgs, dinosaurs and even demons, Liu Kang pretty much fought enemies of a similar category, defeating even Gods and Titans, beings that Jago has never fought before.

Megumi: And their knowledge of martial arts is also a key, with Jago not being an expert in any known martial art while Liu Kang's knowledge in jeet kung do has made him a mentor to his fellow monks, with him also being able to analyse and outsmart opponents like Kitana, Goro, Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn who has more fighting experience than he does.

Toomi: There are ways to say that Jago is powerful as he did defeat Gargos who did threaten to destroy the universe itself except that Liu Kang has defeated enemies far more powerful.

Sachi: Liu Kang in his base form alone can defeat Shao Kahn who can merge realms, and just to note that merging realms is no small feat as doing so means that Shao Kahn is pulling planets together. And the fact that Shao Kahn has conquered many realms to even earn his title as the Emperor of Outworld.

Megumi: And not to mention that the same Shao Kahn has even succeeded in conquering Earthrealm before, now note that while everything that has happened in Mortal Kombat Armagaddon may be changed due to Raiden changing the past, Mortal Kombat 9, X and 11 does not render any of the past games non-canon so Shao Kahn defeating Raiden and conquering the entire planet itself is still canon despite the change.

Toomi: But as Fire God Liu Kang, Liu Kang completely dominates Cetrion, an Elder God the same level as Shinnok who can grow larger than a planet and even beaten her mother, Kronika who can control space time itself which makes this a universal to even multiversal degree due to how Kronika even referenced events like Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe which shows a possibility of her knowing about the DC Universe

Sachi: Which sad to say, is not something Jago has ever accomplished.

Toomi: Having the edge in skills, powers, accomplishments and even ability, we can conclude that in this fight of martial arts, Liu Kang has the upperhand to completely takes this fight.

Megumi: This fights sure Kung-Firms Liu Kang's victory.

Sachi: The winner is Liu Kang

Liu Kang: I am impressed.

Toomi: Hey guys, thank you so much for checking out our battle in What if Battles 2.

Sachi: If you want more content like this, don't forget to add this in your library and comment if you have any idea for a fight.

Megumi: Until then, next time on What if Battles....
