Cyrax (MK) vs Ryu (SF)

Robot vs Karate Man
West vs East

Hmm not sure, Cyrax doesn't seem to have a lot to note, probably Ryu. I love Cyrax though.

If Cyrus actually possessed the ability he would have actually done it by now, instead of losing every fight he's ever been in. That being said, he has never shown the ability to do that in canon.

IT'S NOT CANON WAHH

Nope.

Clearly the developers intended to show what the weapons he had were capable of even if he never used that in the story. He wouldn't want to, last time I checked Cyrax is aligned with good.

Prove it.

Fatalities have been used as "joke" moves, and have things like Liu Kang dropping an arcade machine, hence the reason fatalities are hard to grasp as canon many times.

And where the hell did he store so many bombs anyways?

Don't be silly dude.

You think it isn't actually capable for Sub-Zero to freeze someone and then uppercut them? Only because it never happens in the story? Of course not. Same thing here. Only difference is that people will have a hard time accepting it because it would make Cyrax too strong for their liking.

Oh, and before it's compared to supernova.

Cyrax Blows up the planet, everything dies, end of story.

Sephiroth uses supernova Nothing dies, the planet is still there.

Reasons why I think it counts.

-Not a gameplay balance restriction
-It's within the same games as the rest of the canon series
-It's a cutscene

Sub-Zero has been shown using ice powers outside of fatalities, so that's a bad example.

And if Cyrax has ever actually demonstrated this capability, Cyber Smoke too for that matter, there would not be any MKs after MK3...

It doesn't make much sense seeing as they would just use the ability in the first place if so, and really would you let a cyborg walk around with that in case they malfunction?

its just a wepon
if he were to use it then ryu scrowed
but he wouldnt
he is good
meybe sektor would do

He has not shown in his story the ability to blow up the planet, and Smoke had that move too. I guess Liu Kang can drop arcade machines on people as well.

There is no reason Liu Kang could not drop a arcade cabinet on a mofo in the story.

Cyrax Fatality should count IMO but whatever. I don't recall the developers ever stating the fatalities are 100 non- canon. They seem like what-ifs. Don't think it would have been a dealbreaker though for Ryu. He still has a speed and strentgh advantage.

Cyrax may get some new stuff in the new game so wait for that.

Lol, I doubt the arcade thing, but maybe I'm crazy.

What I said on the subject in another thread re: Nightmare Geese vs Shin Akuma.

The Meteor thing is the only one I can think of that is not canon.

The Island Sinker was done in story, as was the Uluru spliting Kongou Kokuretsu Zan and the ship destroying Tenshou Kaireki Jin. The Forest cratering Sekia Koretsu Ha is also potentially canon.

The reason for this? The events that these feats took place are either needed for other characters stories to proceed (Ryu's from SFA2) or have no bearing on anyone elses story at all (IE: they can happen because it does not interfere with anyone elses events at all).

The difference bitween this and Cyrax's fatality, is that all of these events happened in story, and they are not game breakers like blowing up planets. If Akuma ever got to that level, he would be 'a' class Darkstalker tier, probably even more.

I need not say anything more on the subject.

The master's patience has been tested!!

Cyrax wins if he blows up the world. lol. Not unless Ryu can breath in space like Batman.

Lol, would Cyrax not kill himself, too?

And is Ryu really going 2 let Cyrax pop out all those bombs without doing anything? AND, if the thread starter feels that Cyrax can just blow up the planet, Y even make the thread?

This smakcs of fishyness.

It would be draw at best...
