But that's ignoring their basic abilities. Cutscenes don't usually involve too much action so using ONLY those is kind of...nonsense in my opinion.
1. A. But you still can't ignore the fact the character has those abiliities.
B. But you didn't explain how it was fast.
2. He didn't swing the hammer slowly. The guy was twisting around with and manage to knock away the people who got next to him. They couldn't even get near him. Only later it was Shang who managed to attack.
3. Similar but not the same. And the reason he doesn't do it in game is because the other characters' souls are protected by Raiden.
1. A. No. But we can't use them as definate indications of speed or strength either.
B. ...Dude wtf, he out-ran a fvcking Military Jet, how did I not explain it was fast?
2. He turned around and swung his hammer. And almost everyone in MK is slow, hell, Shang Tsung is only human in terms of speed, and he was able to attack Kahn.
How's about you shut up, quit stalling, and show some proof of Khan's speed?
3. Only a few people are protected by Raiden, not to mention he won't be able to use his soul power before Gouki punches him so hard in the chest that his torso will fly off his arms, legs, and head.
2. With just a kick, that is. Besides, that's Shang Tsung, which isn't the issue here.
Also, remember, this whole thing started because you said Kahn was slow. I think it's best YOU quit stalling.
3. Really? I must have missed that Gouki was The Flash. And so what if Raiden protected a "few people"? The many people who didn't get protected still got their soul taken.

1. That's different though. In game, Batman also uses the gadgets he alos uses in other media. As far as speed and strength, that can't be determine by gameplay mechanics but whether the character actually have the ability can (unless proved otherwise).
2. Okay.
3. Gouki only used it on Bison once though. And it's yet to be explained how he got back this time.
Mortal Kombat 9 shows Kahn ripping apart Raiden, one of the gods.
I don't know.. Storyline wise, Mortal Kombat seems to operate under a different set of rules. Elder gods fighting with gods, gods fighting with humans, sorcerers with powers on par with omnipotent beings, beings that can affect dimensions losing to Johnny Cages Shadow Kick..
Street Fighter, going by storyline, comes across more as a bunch of metas duking it out.
Look at Shinnok. He attacked the Elder Gods directly, and affected dimensional barriers.. The Saurian civilization nearly died out because of the war against him, and they had to move to another world. There's no one like that in the Street Fighter-verse. or no comparable high stakes storyline..
I would think MK characters due to the killing intent and powersets. I mean they do have guys like Shao Kahn and Raiden. Isn't M. Bison like the only uber powerful guy in the SF universe. I was under the impression that even Ryu couldn't handle him alone.

I think their universes are even for the most part. When you start moving up the tiers from Ryu and up, that's when SF will pull out the win.
I mean, even Chun Li can create canyons with her Kiko Sho. Sagat shoots out mountain sized blasts of chi. Ryu blows up a giant BLEECE machine, which in turn blows up most of S.I.N's base. Seth creates mini gravity wells. Sakura and Ryu's normal HDKs can push back giant explosions. Gief tanks tornadoes. This is pretty great material coming from characters who wouldn't even rank in the top 10 most powerful in their world.

MK has the titles and the violence, but it doesn't mean they mower powerful. People think blood and guts means more powerful. SF characters have been shown to do more powerful things more frequently. Don't know why people don't like that fact.
Gods are just titles and Gods lose to mortals all of the time in fiction. Like in Mortal Kombat.
According to Mortal Kombat mythology, the Elder Gods took on the One Being that comprised all of reality, and created Kamidogu that they used to shatter its body, than used its remains to create the realms.
This same One Being acted through Onaga and Shao Kahn.
And those same Elder Gods used Scorpian as their champion, to destroy Onaga,
The entire plot of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is based on the concept of the Mortal Kombat warriors becoming so powerful, they'd threaten all the realms, too..
Basically, Mortal Kombat works on high stakes storylines.. Either an entire realm gets laid waste, or all the realms get threatened, or the Elder Gods that defeated the One Being get threatened..
While that's probably what would've happened if Scorpion had the chance to do so, it proved to be non-canon, as Shujinko beat him to the punch and shattered the Kamidogu to defeat the dragon king according to Onaga's Armageddon bio.
