Originally posted by battlemaster161It's massive PIS, they all attacked her one at a time instead of jumping her together. None of them tried using their powers either. Instead of using his pistol Stryker tried using his stun gun, Sub Zero didn't even try using ice, Kabal didn't even try to use his speed. I loved MK 2011 but that entire scene was simply there to kill off those characters.
she killed kitana, jade, stryker, cyber subzero, kabal and a few others at the same time hell she killed someone with the heel of her boot.

There are a lot of people in MK who haven't shown the strength to be able to do that though.
There's a very significant number who have, or *more* (I mean, spine ripping? *Much* harder than arm ripping, and not even done by one of the top-tier fighters), and most of the rest are shown to be at least near-peers to them.
Originally posted by Q99Ever hear of a character called Bane? Dude has ripped Cyborgs arms off and beaten them to death with it.
No, but he also doesn't show the capability to.If you can't rip someone's arm off with a yank, you probably shouldn't be in MK.
And how many people have canonically ripped people's arms off in MK?
Try not to use gameplay mechanics this time.

Sure (though I will mention what happens in normal gameplay *is* representative of their power generally speaking).
Here is the first of several cutscene videos. 13:12 has Sonya break thick metal bars easy, 14:28 has Shang Tsung casually blow up a helicopter.
Next vid, 3:09 in, Raiden has a vision of Scorpion doing his spine-rip thing (And Raiden's visions are simply from the original timeline- the Raiden of the original sent them back to change things when he felt all was lost), and in 8:28, his handiwork is shown.
You get the idea.

Several problems with this. May I?
1. Sonya broke the bars with her wrist mounted plasma blaster. Notice how she needs to grab her wrist to fire? That's not an ability she has on her own.
2. Scorpion did not spine rip Sub Zero. He burned him alive and picked up his skull.
3. Not one of these instances show anyone in MK having to strength to rip limbs off. Burn them off? Sure. Blast them off? Why not. But not physical strength which is what was asked for
That's just how she channels it. She has no 'blaster'.
And notably, being hit by projectiles like that is not an auto-win, characters can often deal as much or more in melee as they can with projectiles.
2. Scorpion did not spine rip Sub Zero. He burned him alive and picked up his skull.
First vision shows a spine-rip (and remember, those visions are things that *happened*).
1:42, Sindel hits Nightwolf into a large stone alter hard enough to break it. Nightwolf's fine, showing both strength and durability.
