Lord Rayden vs Emperor Palpatine

Mortal Kombat's resident Thunder God takes on Star Wars' favorite son of the Dark Side.

Since the second MK flick blew, I'm going to use Christopher Lambert's version.

Oh god.

No.

Rayden

Rayden. He can fight up close and personal while also using his lightning. Plus, wasnt he a God?

end of story then?

God is nothing more then a title...

You realize that Raiden got knocked the ****ed out by a mere mortal in Armageddon? A mortal whome Palpatine would outright destroy?

Read the conditions of the fight.

Point still stands.

What's Raiden best feat?

Let's see..in the game he actually destroys the world in the MK1 ending. He beats the shit out of Kintaro in the second game.

and Chris Lambert is a badass actor...that and blasting both subzero and scorpion was pretty sweet.

In addition to blowing up the planet, he also loses to Taven.

Taven. As I said, Palpatine would destroy Taven. 😐

And Palpatine can teleport across the Galaxy... so destroying the planet would ultimately just hinder both of them.

I am under the impression we were talking about the Raiden portrayed in the movie Mortal Kombat 1 and Palpatine as portrayed in the 6 Star Wars Movies. Though, I suppose if we take their most powerfu non-canon/movie abilities into consideration Raiden kills Palpatine even more.

Snafu said it is Raiden from MK 1.

Raiden takes it.

Prove it.

Well, I was under the impression that Raiden at his strongest had the powers of an Elder God, or am I wrong about that?

Raiden is a GOD.

Well, to be fair, the wrinkly half of Picollo was a God. It's just a title...though, in Raiden's case, as far as I know connecter do quite some power.

Raiden doesn't become an elder god until I think MK 2 or MK 3.

I'm confused now though.

Is this Raiden from the MK1 game, or the MK1 movie? Or does he get his abilities from both? Is this Palpatine in general, or only from what we've seen in the 6 movies?

If it's just what we've seen from the movies, then I agree that Raiden takes it with some effort.
