I see Baraka as nothing more than a mindless brute. He not so much of a fighter as he is a killer. A beserker who swings his blades like a madman. Milleena appears to have much more cunning and intelligence. She would outsmart him easily. Mileena for the win.

Baraka.
He's just....a beast.
But I do think that us voting for our favorite
won't have any effect on the cannon event.

I like them both aswell, but I give this to Mileena because she has what Baraka has(power,agression,meanstreak) and what he lacks(brains,speed).

Baraka_9
Mileena_8


It's gonna be a close one...

First off Mileena is frieken weak. And if you are thinking about it as if this is happening and they are real life entities than there is no way in hell mileena could get passed those blades. All things considered Baraka would be one of the strongest characters, if these characters existed. Not to mention the fact that he has previously been called the leader of the Tarakatan race and the strongest, so Mileena being a Tarakatan(i think) would mean she is lower rank and obviously not the strongest Tarkatan in the MK Universe. Oh well, guess its a matter of who you like.

1. where is it stated that she is weak? her styles aren't damage prone, true, but that doesn't mean shit.

2. why would Baraka be considered among the strongest.? He has the average possible muscle mass of a well trained body builder with martial training. Still human.

3. you know being kleader doesn't automaticly grants superior stength among from those who are underlings. Perefct example: Genghis Khan.

4. Mileena is not a tarkatan, he carries tarkatan features, but she is not actually one, neither is Shang Tsung. And she has no affiliation with the nomadic mutants whatsoever, aside her interaction with Baraka.

5. Barakas lades sprout from his forearms, what makes it imediatly lesser than hand-wielded bladed weapon of arms lenght. To put it simple, the position already limits the usage of the blade, and the sai is SPECIFICAL-LY usefull for locking on, holding and parrying long, edgeg weapons with EASE. This is not to be debated, it's true.

Source: Saijutsu and a hungarian armblade weapon called Kezipenge.
Your speculation is although well meaned, but lack any backup material, is far fetched, and based on personal preferences.

Baraka ofcours...

So because Baraka has blades coming outta his arms and has huge teeth, it makes him more powerful. In his ending he cheap shotted Mileena. Baraka coulda faught back in millies ending.

mileena is definelty better.

BARAKA IS THE WINNER!!!!!!!!

Please man, they just all think that cuz baraka is a guy and mileena's a chick

Dude the fact that his blades come out of his arm does not limit them, he can't have them knocked out of his arms first off. Secondly he could get more leverage in a swing since they come out his arms making the swipe more powerful.

And Chrome mileena is a mix of tarkatan. She does have some tarkata in her blodd if you go back and watch all of her endings and bios it says in there that she does so you dont know what your talking about.

Again a lot of people credit her as being deceptive or smart? I was just wondering where you got this superior knowledge and intellect you say she has.

Actually that supposed to be a quote.

This will get interesting, I'll look after the saijutsu and the wielding of the arm mounted weapons to find characteristics for each other to ease this debate. But only if I have the time, okay? Peace.
