How well you apply your weaponry and training are what's relevant. We already know how well Slade can apply his weaponry and skill because he has decades worth of feats, Cyrax and most MK characters for that matter don't.

He has several- pre upgrade, he beat Johnny Cage. Post, he beats Cyborg Sektor. And being the elite of the Lin Quei, well, that also tells you he's on a similar level to the Sub Zeros, Smoke, etc..
But, since you're dismissing MK's fighting prowess as a *whole*, I know you're going to discount them.
So Johnny Cage and Cyborg Sektor are on the same level as Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl and Katana? What are there feats again?
Beating other equally featless characters isn't a feat. Nor does it give us any indication of his physical stats or skill level
I'm going to dismiss it because like everything else you post it's utter garbage, here's a typical argument from Q99
Feat-less character A has a feat, he beat Featless character B so he must be able to beat someone with decades worth of continuity herp derp
That sounds about right

He doesn't have to be immune, though. He's a high-level ninja who has great agility, teleportation, etc.. *And* he's made of metal on top.
In other words you have nothing. And yes he'd have to be immune because he's going to get decapitated, it's inevitable. Show his agility feats, how does his agility compare to Slade's?

Your argument seems to be, unless someone's totally invulnerable, you're going to assume they're outmatched and doomed.Not much of an argument, with nothing to back it up!
If you want to keep debating might I suggest obtaining a reading comprehension on a 3rd grade level. No one ever stated that Cyrax is outmatched because he's invunerable, the argument is that Cyrax is outmatched because in every physical stat he's outclassed and outclassed in skill, and where Slade has decades worth of feats, your only argument is that he's made of metal and that he's beaten equally featless and unimpressive characters

Btw, another one of the fighters on this list, Scorpion, has beaten Nightwolf.
No, a demonstration of one MK fighter's toughness who isn't even in this thread, nor is the durability relevant to getting impaled or decapiated.

It is, however, a *very* good toughness feat by someone fairly representative of MK fighters, who's neither high nor low tier.
Again, an MK character who isn't even in this thread. If you want to make a Nightwolf vs Deathstroke thread then go ahead and make it, I'll go to that thread and explain logically how Deathstroke would kill Nightwolf also.

And how about this? Burden of proof. You prove he can. You prove that Cyrax won't teleport behind him first.
You prove your claims, because you're presenting me with air. You don't get to just assume everything your guy does works based on, oh yes, Deathstroke never doing that against skilled humans/world class fighters like Batman or Nightwing, and here he is against superhumans/world class fighters...
I wish I had short memory, I could get this diarrhea you call an argument out of my head.
Burden of proof? I never argued that Cyrax couldn't teleport, but apparently you think that he can teleport fast enough, get behind Slade and do a sufficient amount of damage to him before getting shot or garroted. It goes back to my first post, having all the powers and weapons in the world means nothing if you can't apply them properly.

Yea, a peer. Because they don't go around showing every character beat up in cutscenes, but the stories do show the characters fight each other a lot and aren't too far in level.I've also shown you the offensive capability of three different fighters.
Now, when someone shows you feats from 4 fighters to indicate their general level, and there's another character who is considered a peer to them, do you assume that the info on other characters
Heck, even if we did discount it on Cyrax specifically, some of the others are in the list themselves.
A peer? Where does it state anywhere in this series that Cyrax is as durable as Nightwolf? You're simply pulling things out of your ass now.
If they don't go around showing every character getting beaten up in cut scenes then that's YOUR PROBLEM.
I'll say it again, you want to debate with Nightwolf go make a Slade vs Night Wolf thread and I'll humiliate you there too. Nightwolf isn't in this fight, Nightwolf and every showing that Nightwolf has holds ZERO relevance here.
You've listed power sets for 3 different characters, none of their physical stats, none of their skill based states, and most importantly none of their feats, outside of Cyrax beating Johnny Cage and Sektor who are both equally featless.
Do you know why it's easy to debate for Slade? Because the characters he beats have decades worth of feats and continuity
If you take Cyrax, and take every character he's beaten, you could probably count all of their feats on one hand. That's why Cyrax and your argument fail, because the only thing you can do is list Cyrax's powers rather than demonstrate how well he can use them.
That's like me arguing that Slade wins because he has guns, grenades, armor and a sword, rather than demonstrate his competency with them. It's a stupid argument but then again look who I'm talking to.

It's a series full of blatantly superhuman fighters and your arguments amount to 'prove they won't stand still!' 'prove that they're invulnerable because they'll obviously be standing still!' 'prove that they can hit someone who's not standing still!' when they do it constantly by the very base nature of their plot.
I agree, a series full of blatantly superhuman fighters, so full that out of over 40-50 MK characters on the entire roster the one and only physical feat you were able to find was Night Wolf getting slammed into stone
😆

Lets take a look at that shall we?

1:07:18 was Jax fighting at the same speed he fights at in gameplay?
1:34:51 is Kitana fighting at the same speed she fights in gameplay?
2:05:40 are Johnny Cage and Ermac fighting at the same speed as in gameplay?
2:56:30 are Night Wolf and Noob fighting at the same speed they use in gameplay?
2:59:16 was anyone here fighting as fast as they do in gameplay?
The answer to all of them is no, no and NO. None of these characters in the cut scenes, the actual canon are fighting at the same pace they fight in gameplay. Another Q99 argument down the toilet.

I can't reject evidence because there is no evidence to reject. I already disproved your notion of gameplay being a representation of how characters fight with at least 5 examples, and that's only from one game.
Which basically leaves you with listing a characters powers without describing how well they can utilize them, and the use of Nightwolf's mediocre durability feat for the entire MK roster. That's some strong evidence there 😂

I'm taking this as a concession because this argument ended a while ago, somewhere between the use of gameplay mechanics that aren't accurate representations of the characters and the fact that you've been riding one characters mediocre feat for this entire thread

All debates are a matter of convincing the other person. I've succeeded, you know that everything I've stated so far has been 100% factual . Go ahead and keep posting though, it's a win win situation for me, either you concede or I continue to get a good laugh by reading your post.
