Vote WHO WINS MKX match-ups!

5 Scorpion vs 5 Sub-Zero - I really can't think who would win.

6 Ermac vs 4 Quan Chi - I think Ermac is way powerful than Quan Chi, but Quan Chi's powers and skills growed a lot since his debut.

9 Goro vs 1 Johnny Cage - Goro says it all!
 
Hope I did this right...

5-5: Both of these guys are very balanced characters. I can see them getting into a tie at the end of 10 matches.

6-4: Both of them are also strong, but I'll give this one to Quan Chi, I think he may be able to overpower Ermac within 10 matches.

10-0: Just... no. Goro can literally squish Johnny Cage in an instant.
 
5-5 Sub/Scorpion split
8-2 Quan Chi
10-0 Johnny Cage. Goro may be bigger and all, but Cage knew his weakest spot and promptly exploited it.

Sub-Zero 5-5 Scorpion
Evenly matched rivals.

Ermac 3-7 Quan Chi
Since Ermac is a fighter made of thousands of souls and Quan Chi's is a sorcerer that manipulates souls Quan Chi would have the edge in a fight between the two.

Johnny Cage 1-9 Goro
Goro would probably win 10 out of 10 times since he is much stronger, more experienced and smarter than Johnny, but that doesn't mean he can't get lucky and win a match through luck and that he is much faster than Goro.
 
Awesome idea.
Awesome pic of Goro vs Johnny Cage.

Scorpion 6 - Sub-Zero 4: Like everyone's saying these two seem equally matched and locked in eternal struggle, but in a universe created by Ed Boon I gotta give Scorpion a slight edge.

Quan Chi 8 - Ermac 2: Don't get me wrong, I like Ermac and all. Cool concept and cool designs post palette swap. However when you get right down to it, Ermac is little more than a meat sack filled with souls. Whereas Quan Chi has aspirations of ruling Hell and becoming the next Devil.

Goro 7 - Cage 3: I agree that Goro would have to be the overwhelming favorite, but I don't think people are giving cage enough credit. He's not just an actor, he wields some mystical power to throw around green balls of chi which may or may not lead him to become some kind of Seidan demi-god. Plus Cage is still probably pissed about those $500 sunglasses. Asshole. Furthermore, I don't care how many arms you have, I punch to the nuts still hurts.

That was a literal Flawless Victory, by the way.

I'm a Cage fan and I think you're overselling him (and/or underselling Goro). What made that fight great was that Cage was such a huge underdog going in and had an inspired performance. OK, he's clever enough, and talented enough, and has his green chi enough, to have more than 1/10 inspired performances... but 10/10? That's ambitious.

But Cage's victory over Goro was a Flawless Victory...

The results are in! All results can be found in the OP.

I'm surprised by how damn close Scorpion vs Sub-Zero turned out to be. I expected more of a slant in Scorpion's favor.

The next three duels are Kitana vs Kung Lao, Sonya vs Mileena, and Kano vs Reptile!

Spoiler:
I'm sorry for using a still from that movie that doesn't exist. It was that or Sonya's MK9 outfit. :(
 
I call shenanigans on the results for Cage! :eviltongue: Clearly you're all jealous of his talent, the man is an icon and a national treasure.

Anyway my numbers for the new match ups;

7-3 in favor of Kitana
8-2 in favor of Mileena
6-4 in favor of Reptile
 
Scorpion VS Sub-Zero: 3-7
We've seen Sub-Zero evolve as a character throughout the series while Scorpion has been stuck in the same place since game one, which I believe that in a realistic 101 between the two, Sub-Zero will use his experience to gain the upper hand. Scorpion hasn't really evolved at all, and Sub-Zero generally seem like the more intelligent one of the two, not to mention he grows more and more powerful, so I believe he will come out on top.

Ermac VS Quan Chi: 4-6
Ermac has the power of a thousand souls, two of them being King Jerrod and Shao Kahn, which are both rather powerful characters, but he is an unstable individual who needs to charge up now and then. Without a source of soul energy, Ermac would quickly become weaker, so he would end up losing to Quan Chi's power and experience. However, Quan Chi is also arrogant, so I can see him underestimate Ermac at the beginning which will make him lose a couple of fights before he put some real effort into defeating Ermac.

Johnny Cage VS Goro: 2-8
Both of them are rather arrogant, but in the end, Goro has an immense strength and alot more experience that Johnny. Goro killed several Earthrealm champions before he met Liu Kang, and even killed the legendary Great Kung Lao, so I doubt Johnny would get far against Goro. The Prince of Pain will surely win this one.
(Note: the movie isn't canon)

...

Kitana VS Kung Lao: 6-4
Kitana is a 10.000 year old assassin who have probably killed millions of people in her lifetime. Kung Lao will be a mighty foe, but I believe Kitana will gain the upper hand and win the battle.

Sonya VS Mileena: 4-6
Though Mileena has the body and fighting capabilities of Kitana along with the ruthlessness and bloodthirst of a Tarkatan, she is still very "young" and unpredictable. And Sonya is a tough badass chick, so I can imagine these two being very equal when going toe-to-toe, but I believe Mileena will end up the winner.

Kano VS Reptile: 5-5
Two henchmen known to take a beating every second they are on the screen. There's a reason Reptile has survived as long he has though, and his acid could melt through Kano's cybernetics. Kano is also very arrogant and known to taunt his opponent, but in the end he always gets the boot.

I'll tally these up once the second round is complete, but re: Scorp vs Sub-Zero specifically... I'm not sure if I agree with your reasoning. If this was Armageddon, then certainly Sub-Zero has been through a lot more. But in the new timeline, none of MK4-9 have happened, so can it really be said that Sub-Zero is so far ahead of Scorpion? In the comic, they both seem to have moved on to bigger and better things than their MK9 obsessions. What say you?
 
Kitana vs Kung Lao
6-4 in favour of Kung Loa, he seems more disciplined and a better fighter all round than Kitana.

Sonya vs Mileena
7-3 in favour of Sonya, Milleena is a brute and more ferocious than an actual deadly threat. Sonya is well trained and has a few more tricks up her sleeve to help turn the tide in her favour

Kano vs Reptile
6-4 in favour of Kano. Kano is strength compared to Reptiles speed, but Reptile seems sloppy and Kano is ruthless with a bigger arsenal at his disposal. Close, but a Kano victory more times in my opinion.

I say I hold on to my statement.
 
7-3 Kitana (stay away from your best friend's girlfriend)
10-0 Sonya
5-5 Kano/Reptile split

7-3 in favor of Kung Lao
6-4 in favor of Mileena
5-5 for Kano and Reptile

Kung Lao trained as a shaolin and under Bo' Rai Cho. Kitana seems to sit around all day near Shao Kahn's throne fanning herself. When she does get around to doing something, it's an assassination - usually not a one-on-one fight. If she has the element of surprise, Kitana takes it. Otherwise, I'd give Lao the edge (har).

Kano and Reptile are the most difficult comparison thus far. Nothing makes me think either would better one another on a consistent basis.
