Lord Rayden vs Emperor Palpatine

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.

I thought it was Raiden from Mortal Kombat 1 Movie (Christopher Lambert) vs. most powerful Palpatine from the two Star Wars trilogies.

I'd say Raiden, since Palpatine has never been shown with his lightsaber in 4-6, and the only thing he really has is his lightning.

Raiden from MK1 Movie wasn't very impressive. He would get diced by Palpatine.

Game Raiden on the other hand, would utterly destroy (movie) Palpatine.

Raiden is a GOD.

You say that like that actually MEANS something, RJ.

Yeah, God is just a title. Not that Raiden wouldn't win. But you could call Alfred a God, wouldn't make him stronger.

Because it does. How is a mortal (The Emperor) supposed to kill the Japanese God of Thunder?

The same way Kratos eats gods for breakfast in God of War? The same way Taven, a mortal, beat Rayden's ass with utter ease in Mortal Kombat Armageddon? The same way Raiden was injured by.. "raptor ninajs" in the second Mortal Kombat movie? Gandalf is a god (Demi-god, rather.), yet he could be killed by orcs...

Simply being a god does not make you invincible.

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

Are you?

Nope, though I don't see what the OP's post has to do with anything. But lets make it easy for you.

Provide feats that prove that Raiden wins, aside from "He's a god so he wins".

Show me why he wins because he's a god. What has he done that makes him even a slight challenge for Sideous?

He has his power of thunder and lightning, plus he can come and go like the wind. and being a God means he doesnt tire or bleed.

Prove that him being a god means he doesn't tire or bleed. Not all gods work the same way and have the same powers and abilities.

well, remember the second MK movie?

thread starter specified Raiden from the first MK movie, so thats what we have to work with.

The mere fact that Raiden can come and go like the wind, in addition to his godly powers, thats enough really.

They square off and Raiden starts dematerializing/materializing around the room, Palpy is gonna have his hands full.

What "godly" powers? Show them to me. Your entire argument seems to hang upon Raiden having some uber magical powers that he can pull out of his ass even though we've never seen him do them before.

Regular old lightning is something Sideous can easily handle, considering lightning is his forte. Teleportation is only helpful for dodging attacks. It won't help him against someone who knows what direction you're going to attack from before you even do it, thanks to the force. Sideous lightsaber will cleave right through his staff and his hands with no effort. So this is how it will play out.

Raiden can't get in close because he does not have anything that can beta a lightsaber. So his only hope is to teleport out of reach and shoot lightning blasts, which is something Sideous can easily counter with both his hands and his lightsaber if need be. So... what weapons does Raiden have to kill Sideous with? His hat and his bad diologue maybe?

An up close Raiden pwns Palpy. Did you see what he did to Lui Kang when Lui attacked him?

A lightsaber is the standard weapon for all Jedi and Sith, considering he kept one in his sleeve for all of his time as chancellor, I.E. the first three movies, it's logical to assume that he would start off with one. That'd be like saying in an Obi-Wan vs. whoever match that because the thread starter didn't specifically say Obi-Wan had his lightsaber, he doesn't have it.

And the thread starter didn't say Luke had his lightsaber in the Luke vs. Neo thread, yet you automatically assumed he had it and even used it in several of your arguments. You're using a double standard because it suits your argument. Again.

Grasping for straws.
