You humans are just so ridiculous.

edit

If you could create an alien species, what would it look like? Be original by the way.

Humans with bumpy foreheads.

On that how come no one has made an original alien? Its always familiar to a squid, an insect, human-like or looks like it was made on Earth.

Many has made original and very creative aliens. You just don't see them because it's more popular with aliens that humans can relate to ๐Ÿ™‚ The more obscure types are viewed as "unreasonably monstrous" ๐Ÿ˜›

Hahahaha, now bison is portrayed as surviving missiles but sonic booms can ko him. Bison might not beat Akuma but he is portrayed as being a threat to him. What they decide is canon is one thing but it's well within bison's strength and power to beat him maybe just not the skill to pull it off. You missed the point. Shocker.

Fatalities are a consistent part of the mk games and are well within their powers not akuma taking on Thanos with the ig. See I easily destroy your false comparisons. No need to insult the better man.

So evil ryu can just sit there and if they attack him all of them they can't hurt him ? You can't be serious.

Liu Kang tears through shao Kahn's body. Shao Kahn isn't some average human. Maybe according to you but anyone unbiased knows I am right like always. Shao Kahn is that badass who can slap raiden's ass.

Yes, because their opponent needs to be beaten like in most fights to be able to kill them or what not. We see ermac though in canon gameplay easily destroy jax's arms yet he can't do that in gameplay and doesn't need to beat his ass to do so. I have you either way you wanna do this.

If he had Onaga dead to rights I see no reason why he couldn't. Would he ever get the chance no because Onaga would annihilate him.

Nope.

1. You know, just stating something over and over again doesn't make it true.

2. Please show me an instance of M. Bison canonically being KOed by a Sonic Boom, and be sure that the examples are of Shin Bison, not normal Bison. Bison is portrayed as being a threat to Akuma? Yeah man I guess that is why in Street Fighter 2 Akuma one-shot him. Bison has never been presented as a threat to Akuma personally. THEORETICALLY, Shin Bison may have the power to beat Akuma, but in practice, it has never been proven. I missed no point. It is painfully obvious that you are only saying I missed whatever idiotic "point" you presented to cast the illusion that your argument is anything but the result of you mindlessly grinding your skull across the keyboard, and just happening to form something vaguely resembling coherent sentences. Note I said coherent sentences, not coherent arguments.

3. Uhuh, only the MK character's ability to perform fatalities on massively more powerful DC heroes and villains is a gameplay mechanic, one that is present in a noncanon game, no less. You also missed my main point, that you are a very bad troll who brings up noncanon troll points that establish you as a troll. Or something more unfortunate, I shall let you work out that. Oh, and for the fun of trolling, Akuma in his ending defeated Galactus, which is in fact more valid as a feat than random MK character performing a fatality on Captain Marvel. Not that it is valid at all, I am making a point, that you bringing up noncanon "feats" is a sad troll tactic. Oh, and I believe you meant "See, I easily destroy your false comparisons." The comma is important. Lern2English

4. Well considering that the one time Crimson Viper was able to attack Evil Ryu it did absolutely nothing to him, yes, I am saying that. Evil Ryu was unstoppable when he showed up. And Akuma is even more powerful than that while holding back. Oh, did I mention that by the way? All of Akuma's feats and canon fights were performed while repressing the bulk of his power. Even Shin Akuma is apparently not Akuma's full power, Oni Akuma is a step above that.

5. When did I say Shao Kahn is a normal human? Please don't strawman my argument. That said, Shao Kahn is in fact not as durable as many Street Fighter characters. And you know, IIRC no one has ever in canon torn through Shao Kahn's flesh. Onaga probably could though, so could that other guy whose name I forget, the former Elder God.

6. I don't think you know what you typed. We see Ermac in canon gameplay destroy Jax's arms yet he can not do that in gameplay? What are you talking about? And he does NOT need to beat his ass to do so? Can you prove that statement? Please, humor me, and prove that Jax does not need to be nearly dead to do that? Since that is almost the only time Fatalities show up. If you can not prove it Quan, then shut up, hang your head in shame, and admit defeat.

7. Well for the same reason why Killer Croc, who can pull the head off a normal man, could never even begin to harm even a nearly dead Superman, he is too durable. Is this concept too complex for you? Do you need it to be explained?

8. "Nope" is not actually an argument, you are aware of that, right? And consider your own argument Quan, Liu Kang can punch the head off of fighters his own level whenever he wants. These are your words, not mine. Human beings possess the strength to injure one another, but never to my knowledge has one human punched the head off of another human. Which according to you can easily happen in MK. Therefore, although more durable than human beings, the gap between a Mortal Kombat character's power output and durability is wider than that of a normal human's, despite the human being's smaller levels in both overall. This is not complicated. And look at how fights in the new MK end up. The fighters through punching the shit out of eachother end up with skulls showing, bones completely shattered by mere punches and kicks and shit, that is glass cannon bullshit.

No one?

That is legitimately an impossible statement, since archetypes and cliches were original once.

Cthulhu was original when it was created, as were many of HP Lovecraft's alien beings.

Daleks from Doctor Who are basically beeping trashcans, that is pretty original.

Stuff.

Not original by when it was made. Original as in a design of an alien that doesn't follow the anatomy/code that things of Earth follow. Cthulhu for example with its human-like body, squid features and bat wings or the Darleks squid bodies. Predator/Alien being quite human, Triffids looking like Earth plants and even the tripod aliens from War of the worlds (Both versions) having a similar anatomy.

Point out any real-world creature which looks like Yog-Sothoth.

Oh, and:

A Flying Polyp and a Yithian fighting. WHAT ANIMALZ LOOK LIKE DAT IRL GAI?

I hope you're not insinuating Howard Lovecraft wasn't original ๐Ÿ˜‘

Yes. That picture is a being ๐Ÿ˜›

Those designs suck though.

Shoggoths are hardcore.

Ok we got a tentacled blob, a tentacled blob, deep-sea plant thing with crab claws and another tentacled blob. Fair enough the blob part is not really something that can exist, and nothing can be grow to look like that on Earth, but whenever its not a shapeless mass its form takes on more Earthy traits.

Yithians are not deep sea plant things. They are twelve foot tall cones with claws, little antenna, an eye, and stuff.

And here is Yog-Sothoth. mmm

Well of course it's going to take on Earthy traits.

Considering, y'know, we naturally take inspiration from what we see around us. =|

Everything we come up with in fiction draws inspiration from SOMETHING that we know of on this Earth, even if we are aiming to create a completely unique creature or being.

It would be nigh-impossible to create an alien creature that bears not the slightest resemblance to anything on Earth, considering that's all we know.

Br is putting a rather high expectations on humans though, wanting us to work blindly. No matter how hard one might try, there will always be something that will resemble our own world in some way. If it doesn't, then it will suck.

I saw your post Aura, in the same way I might see an ant crawling beneath me. That does not warrant paying it any real notice. I mean, unless it begins crawling up my leg in some cry for attention like you are doing now.

Yes, and I saw that comparison coming before you even posted it my dear King. Diminishes your point after a while when you become so predictable. So many other, more interesting comparisons to make. And yet you keep on with the insect one. If it ain't broke, don't fix it I guess. Certainly a staple of the video game industry.

Galactic Soap? O-o

Yithians look reminiscent of the plant things though.

Basically this. I'm waiting for someone to create a being or creature with a form thats completely alien to anything on Earth.
