Cyrax (MK) vs Ryu (SF)

No, ryu wasn't just stand there, but if 23 or so of those bombs can do that than one should easily destroy a country. Cyrax could just toss one in ryus general vicinity.

Please don't tell me the world-busting fatality is being taken as canon? 😬

It's not. At this point, we're just humoring him.

That aside, best case scenario for Cyrax is that it would be a draw, as he would end up killing himself as well.

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.

Including Cyrax, so suicide bombing for the ****ing win I guess.

Nothing dies except for the majority of our solar system. And it is worth noting that Sephy would not want to destroy Gaia.

Country destroying?

I don't think so. It doesn't even chip a bridge...

Nothing is destroyed period. All supernova does is make a cool illusion. When Cyrax does his fatality everything is done. It's legit. Seph does supernova and can't even kill anything.

Non-Canon though.

*giggle*

And the same can't be applied to Cyrax because....?

Because Cyrax can actually kill something with his attack.

Sephiroth's attack is scripted and is not allowed to kill anything. Does not mean it did not blow up all those planets. :3

And yet the planet he does the attack on isn't even damaged. Lol nope.

Sephiroth can't kill or damage anything with his attack. What Cyrax does is actually believable. There is no comparison. The only thing that stops Cyrax is that it never happened in the story. I have yet to hear the developers say that the fatalities aren't canon.

They haven't said they are, either. Which is why it matters if it's shown in the storyline. Obviously if Ed Boon came out and said fatalities were canon it wouldn't matter. As it stands though, the MK creators put a lot of jokes and parodies in the game through fatalities.

I didn't say the were canon in the story, just that the fatalities they do would be impossible for them to do. A lot of fatalities are easily in the capabilities of the MK fighters.

But I won't use them then.

Then whats the point of even bringing them up?

Hell man, if Fatalities where canon and story bound, you'd have something, as it stands, there have only been a handful of actual deaths in the entire history of Mortal Kombat's storyline, and Cyrax's fatality is not listed as one of them.

Even if I belived U, which I don't, win U say that Cyrax could Dstroy a country with a single bomb, that would STILL kill Cyrax, too. 😂

Which was Sephiroths intent. :3

Except the people caught in the attack and the planets? Cyrax blowing up the world is believable? Explain that one please.

Dude....I just...said that I knew they don't happen in canon.... I just highly disagree that because of that, every fatality the fighters can do are 100% impossible. Smoke has had the same exact fatality for three games aswell. I highly doubt the developers would keep on giving smoke the same fatality of they themselves thought he couldn't do it.

That's why I brought it up. If KMC doesn't want to use them, then I won't use them.

@ Aura

His intent doesn't change anything and he doesn't damage any real planets. It's just a weird lightshow.

Look.... you said that, AFTER my post... Don't be snapping at me because I'm raising a point.

This is becoming a touchy issue, and frankly it's a difficult one for me... I could take almost any fatality at face value, but that one and Liu's Arcade drop? Those are jokes.... If Cyrax and Cyber Smoke could actually do that, they'd be beyond impossible to defeat by anyone else in their own series...

That said, the Fatalities in MK1 where beleivable, and I think they could be applied. MK2 started loosing beleivability, but where doable. MK3 thu to Trilogy saw some ridiculous things come into play... Beleivability was somewhat restored for MK4 and MK4 gold. Deadly Alliance was pretty beleivable, almost back to MK1 levels. Deception... Not too sure about, and Armageddon had those do-it-yourself fatalities....

Ugh. Damn you Darkstorm. I'd almost forgotten about the **** your feelings Armageddon game. sighs
