Someone questioned me on Death Battle's MK bias, bringing up that Raiden lost to Thor, Akuma defeated Shang Tsung, and Black Canary defeated Sindel. (Now though ironically, Shang Tsung >>> Shao Kahn as of MK11 Aftermath)
But as a counterpoint I brought up that Shao Kahn defeated Bison, Scorpion defeated Ryu, Sonya defeated Cammy, and Sub-Zero defeated Glacius. The last one was pretty spot-on though, but the others gave a mostly asspull explanation for the MK characters, like Akuma vs Kahn here.
Bison and Akuma have shown themselves to be city and island busters, but Death Battle likely ignores that and would probably say that Shao Kahn could beat both of them together or something. lol
And why did Death Battle show Cetrion when they were going over the MK gods? Shao never fought her; he'd probably job to her too. Later it was basically said Raiden is like a demigod, which makes sense; a lesser god whose not on the level of the Elder Gods or anything, and that's the best that Shao Kahn has fought consistently.
