Who wins this fight?

Violent2Dope
IMO Wesker, he is faster, as strong, has H2H skills himself, and has a healing factor if memory serves me right.

Snafu the Great
Wesker beat the crap out of Chris in Code Veronica X. All Wesker has to do is probably break Johnny's shades and that'll set Mr. Cage off. One Nutcracker and Decap Upper later, Johnny takes Wesker's shades as a trophy.

That no-talent ass clown can do some massive damage in Mortal Kombat II...so long as the opponents were male.

I'm talking about the updated version of Wesker seen in Resident Evil: Code Veronica.

He doesn't use any guns.

I hate Johnny Cage! He is such a loser man, such a loser!

Albert Wesker for the win, he's already dead.

Since it's the version of Wesker without guns batdude's talkin' about, I'm gonna have to go with Cage.

Indeed. That seems to be what everyone here is doing.

I'd take Johnny in this fight.

Wesker was extremely fast, strong, and agile. There's no denying that. He was toying with Chris and Claire like they were nothing. However, Johnny regularly fights gods and beings with mystical powers. Plus, he has the shadow kick and his plasma balls.

Neo Darkhalen
Wesker is named after Capcom's mascots main villain.

Johnny has the tools to win this. Energy projection + better fighting abilities.

And Cage is absolutely fast enough to land hits on Wesker.

MK characters may punch or kick slower in cut-scenes (most likely done by Midway for cinematic appeal), but they're not in any way, 'slow' during the gameplay, and that's what matters most, not the cut-scenes which are only a very small part of the games.

So saying "too slow" in like every VS thread involving an MK character is just retarded.

Let's compare these two:

When Wesker tried to fight Alexia, he was barely able to dodge the blood flung in his direction. Granted, it was slightly impressive when he started the scale the walls, but he still had trouble dodging the blood. Hell, now that I recall, she did actually hit him with some of her blood. And he seemed to be hurt by the fire emanating from her body. Afterward, he fled so that Chris could fight her. This tells me two things:

1) Johnny Cage is fast enough to hit him with a well placed shadow kick. It's not like Wesker was dodging bullets or any crazy shit like that. And the shadow kick creates the same after effects as Wesker's running. It even says in Cage's bio that he has enhanced reflexes. And why not? The guy rumbles with gods and sorcerers on a normal basis. He has to have some reason as to why he's still alive. Johnny also demonstrates a higher level of fighting skills as well.

2) Cage's plasma balls would play a huge role in this fight. If fire can give Wesker fits, imagine what plasma would be like to him?

The only time AW looked truly impressive to me was when he was fighting Claire and Chris. But the fact of the matter is that Claire and Chris are lame comparisons to Johnny. However, let's recap what happened during Chris and Wesker's last battle of the game:

Al was beating on Redfield for the duration of the fight. Not gonna lie about that one. But, the fight was basically over when Chris pulled the lever that dumped all of the steel girders on top of him (and Wesker had time to get out of the way, but he didn't). It didn't knock him out, but it definitely staggered him. Wesker is fast, sure. But fast enough to the point where Johnny wouldn't be able to land hits? Absolutely not.

Oh, and the fire from the self destruction of the Antarctic facility severely scorched his face. Another red flag in the plasma balls' favor. smile

Wesker is no doubt cool. I'm not denying that. But you need to put personal bias about MK characters aside. Bottom line: I'm not buying your "too slow" argument as a logical reason for why Wesker would defeat Johnny. If anything, Cage has been much more impressive throughout his history. The only thing I'm hearing here in Wesker's defense is that Johnny is an "ass clown."

Certainly Yoshi, myself, and Ridley aren't the only logical ones here (I hope).

Violent2Dope
I love MK fyi, they are slow compared to the rest in their genre. I think Wesker wins 1. He is a bit faster. 2. He is strong enough to fight Cage. 3. He does have some fighting skill. I think he wins, not by much tho.

Doing what fast? I have the game, though from what I remember of the intro, Kabal was running with his super speed (shortly after the pyramid arose) if that counts as "fast" by your definition.

Oh wait. That's no fun.

By "cutscenes > gameplay" though, if ya'll mean that gameplay can't be used as a way of determining something about a character against another character (like his/her speed), then to hell with that equation.

A generic Samus vs Master Chief topic shouldn't require much debating (if any) to determine who would win anyway, unless some people are totally in denial about who would triumph.

No not really. Wesker has a fair fight on his hands here, It depends on the area they fight and if Wesker has access to Umbrella's toys.

I think anyway Wesker would win.

Midway doesn't have to go out and say it, that's what feats are for. Since Midway has never stated that if you pump four clips of Assault rifle bullets unto Johnny Cages brain he will die, does that mean that he won't die?




That's an attack. A quick burst of speed. Not overall running speed.




Ask Satsujin, he has the eir listing. But I can ensure you that the top tiers consist of people like Shao Kaon, Lei Kang, Shang Tsung all the big boys.




That's exactly how things work here. If you can not show a canon cutscene or canon scan from a comic to back up your point then your point is false until proven. Gameplay and game mechanics never count. If you don't like it, leave.






As I said before, if you don't like it then leave.

Too lazy to quote everything stick out tongue

1.har har!
2.Uh.. dunno.
3. It's more of an implied thing, because in most cases things you can do game mechanics wise, the character either can or can not really do. Example being the fact that in Mortal Kombat in the actual game, when you fight, a character can be frozen by Sub-Zero, but when Sub-Zero punches him the guy doesn't shatter into a million pieces.. the ice just falls off. Yet, when he does his fatality, even though he does the exact same move the outcome is different; the opponent getting fatalities shatters into a million pieces. But fatalities and cutscenes are both more accurate showings of what one can do.

4. Fair enough stick out tongue

I guess the Sub-zero example's a good enough reason that game mechanics shouldn't be applied unless the thread author says it can stick out tongue, so I'm fine with it now. smile

Furion
Albert Wesker could beat Johnny Cage for several reasons:
1.Albert Wesker has shown healing capabilites like healing burns from his face in a short amount of time. He was also IMPALED in the chest by a tyrant and healed that too.
2.Wesker has shown in Code Veronica RE4 & Umbrella Chronicles that he has abilities that Johnny Cage Doesn't have like jumping over buildings and 90 feet off the ground.
3.Wesker is WAY freaking smarter then Cage, so he could easily outwit him.
4.Wesker has shown that he is skilled in close combat like his Chikyo Kick. As good as Cage is a fighter, he's an actor. Wesker is a professional killer with way better reflexes then Cage's.(Although Johnny's Shadow Kick could match Wesker's Palm Thrust.
and as for that one thing about Wesker having Chris fight Alexia, Wesker left Chris to fight her because he thought she would be too tough for him to beat. So I think that Wesker's one major weakness is his overconfidence and underestimating his opponents.

Violent2Dope
Just so you all know, it is canon only unless stated otherwise.

Johnny doesn't regularly fight gods. The only gods shown so far in the MK universe are Raiden, Fujin, and Shinnok. Raiden and Fujin are Cage's allies so he wouldn't fight him so that leaves only Shinnok who in my opinion sucks. Cage didn't do anything outstanding in MK, he was killed in MK3 and again in Deadly Alliance. Johnny's kick is about the same as Wesker's Palm Thrust, and he could just dodge Cage's plasma balls

Not only did Cage fight Shinnok, but he overwhelmed him prior to the events of Armageddon.

And for the record, Shinnok doesn't suck. He had everybody's moves in MK4, and was nearly invincible in MK Mythologies (the Subzero game).

Originally posted by Furion

Wiki says otherwise. 31

"Cage's Armageddon bio tells of his worries about the future. Since Liu Kang had died, and Raiden was now following his own personal agenda, the warriors who have long battled against the forces of darkness didn't seem to have a leader anymore. Some time later, Cage began to receive visions of Shinnok, who was coming up with a plan and giving commands to his minions. Cage decided to find out what was going on, by visiting the locations that he saw in his visions. He found evidence that Shinnok had been to these places, and eventually found Shinnok himself at Shang Tsung's island fortress. Communicating via a portal, Shinnok was speaking to Quan Chi, commanding him to gather their forces and take control of Shao Kahn's Outworld fortress. Once the portal disappeared, Cage approached Shinnok, and the former Elder God attempted to use his powers against him. Cage evaded Shinnok's attacks, and even managed to overpower him. Shinnok retreated by vanishing in a cloud of smoke. Now that Cage knew something about Shinnok's schemes, and with no-one else to lead an assault, he took it upon himself to gather his allies and plan a course of action."

A God running away from the "no-talent as clown" ? That's something outstanding. laughing out loud
Plus, Cage pretty much became the new "team leader" due to Raiden's corruption. Yet another outstanding fact for the man.

That kinda depends on what version of the Shadow Kick you're talkin' about. In MK2, MK4, and what not, the red Shadow Kick is more powerful than the green Shadow Kick, but his Shadow Uppercut is more effective than either of those kicks. smile I'd like to see Wesker's Palm Thrust match that.

Can't believe no one even pointed out those moves in support of Cage earlier. erm

And the MK Mishaps are total crap compared to the actual movie.

Furion
Oh please for the love of god, don't bring Mythologies into this, that game sucked hard. Shinnok sucks personally in Armaggedon. If Cage could overpower Shinnok, then alot of other people could who are WAY superior then Cage like Scorpion, Subzero, Noob, ect could. In MKtrilogy, it states Cage was killed by extermentation squads before it started but came back to life by magic or something.
In RE4, Wesker's Palmthrust is instant kill on anything cept the bella sisters. It wouldn't likely kill Cage with one hit, but would still send him flying.

how the hell was Cage the new team leader? Shujinko or Bo Rai Cho or Subzero was new team leader I think. Plus Raiden only got pissed off at people. Raiden in Armaggedon pretended to help evil dudes then he was going to waste those bastards

johnny Cage tries to Shadow Kick Wesker, Wesker jumps over Cage, grabs him by the neck, grabs Cage's Sunglasses and crunches them up and then sticks the shards in Cage's eyes. Wesker>>>>>>Cage

Opinion.

Mythologies' storyline is canon to the series regardless of what you think about it (which took place just before MK1 of course), and so it's still eligible to bring up. stick out tongue

Shinnok sucks personally in Armaggedon.
Just because he wasn't as overall powerful in Armageddon (since he didn't have the amulet) as he was in Mythologies and MK4 doesn't mean he sucks. He's still a formidable fighter in MKA, and quite easy to become skilled with, unlike the other characters that truly suck, like Drahmin, Frost, or Nitara.

If Cage could overpower Shinnok, then alot of other people could who are WAY superior then Cage like Scorpion, Subzero, Noob, ect could.
Not necessarily. Shinnok's so powerful that even Taven and Daegon respect him, as we see in Armageddon's Konquest mode, and the 2 Edenian brothers are far more powerful than those ninjas you mentioned. They're half-God after all.

All and all, Cage single-handedly overwhelmed Shinnok, a former Elder God who poses a far greater threat to the realms than Scorpion, Subzero, or Noob Saibot ever could.

In MKtrilogy, it states Cage was killed by extermentation squads before it started but came back to life by magic or something.
Raiden's handy work. stick out tongue

It wouldn't likely kill Cage with one hit, but would still send him flying.
Yes. it would send Cage flying... if he just stood there like an idiot, allowing himself to get hit, but Cage is smarter than that. As the paragraph I posted from Cage's wiki article states, Johnny evaded Shinnok's attacks. If Cage can dodge a God's attacks, he can dodge Wesker's palm thrust too.

Bo Rai Cho was only a team leader in Deception, where he led the team against Outworld's Tarkattan hordes. Cho didn't have that kind of role in Armageddon.

As for Shujinko, he seems to be independant from the rest of those guys, and Subzero only leads the Lin Kuei. stick out tongue

More than just pissed off. His entire soul became corrupted ever since he sacrificed himself against the Dragon King (Deception intro).

Was Raiden "pretending" when he tried to kill Taven? No. Raiden sided with Shao Kahn. He's a traitor now.

Well, I guess that goes to show that Cage's and Wesker's battle could go either way. stick out tongue

Your hatred for Cage knows no bounds.

1.No, the only really good Adventure MK Game is Shaolin Monks.
2.Drahmin and Nitara I find can be kinda powerful if you use them right.
3.The only reason Taven respected him is because he didn't know he was cast out of the Elder Gods, and Daegon needed Shinnok to become powerful. Scorpion>>Shinnok.
4.How fast are Shinnok's Attacks, I don't think they're as fast as Thrust Punch.
5.They didn't really focus on Story things in Armaggedon. Just Taven's Crap and you never See Bo'Rai'Cho in Konquest.
6.Raiden got pissed off because The people of Earthrealm were treating their realm like crap and because Shujinko collected the Kamidogu for Onaga.
7.I don't really think Raiden would turn from Earth Protector to Traitor just like that. Raiden is not stupid you know, He only accepted Shinnok's Offer to find out what he was doing. Taven he viewed was expendable.
8.Yes
9.Nop, no Bounds.

To be honest, I haven't played that one in particular, so I can't really have an accurate opinion about it, though I will say it looked okay, but Armageddon's Konquest mode seemed to surpass it.

Also, playing as Goro & Kintaro > playing as Liu Kang & Kung Lao. stick out tongue

Drahmin has no dial-up combos whatsoever though (only pop-up combos, which aren't as effective), is slower than most other characters, and relies heavily on his special moves to even be good. All of which makes him a very predictable opponent, so he sucks to most people because of that.

But to each his own, I guess. erm

I can agree that Scorpion's much cooler as a character (in general), but how is a spectre > a God? That equation just doesn't seem to add up. erm

I mean, Shinnok's posed a much greater threat to Earth-realm than Scorpion ever has (even Raiden had difficulty with Shinnok), so technically, Shinnok > Scorpion (though not in terms of coolness stick out tongue).

I was only referring to Bo' Rai Cho's ending in Deception when I mentioned his leadership role in that game stick out tongue, which Cage had during most of Armageddon, behind the scenes. His official Armageddon bio suggests that too, not just wiki.

http://mkarmageddon.com/assets/bios/bio_johnny_cage.html

"When he dismissed the sorcerer, I approached Shinnok. He was startled and immediately conjured up a skeleton hand to trap me. I jumped out of the way and followed with a Shadow Kick to the chest. I pummeled him, and he never regained his composure. The coward escaped in a cloud of smoke... a teleport of some kind, I suppose."

Well, I guess you're right about the first part, but Shujinko didn't know it was really Onaga he was collecting the Kamidogu for. If Raiden's soul hadn't of gotten corrupted, he would've understood that, and not attacked him, but he did get corrupted, and because of that, he attacked him.

"That Shujinko undid his mistake and destroyed the Dragon King is no of importance."

And you know what? That's bull. The original Raiden would've never said that.

Face it. Raiden's sacrifice against Onaga earlier corrupted his soul. That's the only explanation as to why he changed so much stick out tongue (and not just in appearance). Liu Kang's Armageddon ending even implies that.

Hmm. Well, I guess you're right about that too...

Still, it's not like Raiden to try and do such a thing at all. erm

If I may ask though, why? Why do you hate Cage so much?

Furion
1.Liu Kang eats people as a dragon in Shaolin Monks. Dragon>>>>>Goro.
2.I don't use Drahmin too much. But Nitara is pretty good.
3.Scorpion has the power to destroy Onaga who could wipe the floor with Shinnok. Scorpion isn't a threat to Earthrealm cause he doesn't want it.
4.Shujinko was stupid, if you were in Raiden's position, I think you would get pretty tired of people doing stupid things and then having to clean up after them.
5.Only cause he was desperate and his patience was wearing off.
6. Cause Cage things he's super cool and he's the best fighter ever. In his movies, he has him not Liu Kang as the Hero of Earthrealm and Champion of MK. I only like Cage in the Movie cause well anyone who can punch Goro in the crotch and get away with it is cool. Movie>>>>Games

Meh. Point taken. stick out tongue

I forgot about Cage doing that. That's definitely a good enough reason then, I suppose. >.>

Although I dislike how Cage won THAT easily in the movie.

Furion
Wesker still owns Cage cause Wesker has Super Speed and will smash Johnny across the floor
