TOURNAMENT BATTLE - ROUND 2:
Shao Kahn versus Jacqui Briggs
#14 Supreme Ranking #63
12 wins 7 losses Record 2 wins 5 losses
Quarters (2017) Best Result Round 2 (2015)

Shao Kahn was plucked from the past by Kronika, to return to an Outworld he no longer rules. In MK11 Aftermath he was healed of previous injuries, reuniting with his Queen to lay waste to those who oppose him. Jacqui Briggs battled the forces loyal to Kronika in MK11, forcing her to confront her own disillusioned father while on mission to capture The Keeper of Time's crown. Choose their destiny. FIGHT!

This is Shao Kahn's year

Shao Kahn was a total beast in aftermath!

TOURNAMENT BATTLE - ROUND 2:
Tanya versus Frost
#43 Supreme Ranking #33
5 wins 8 losses Record 7 wins 8 losses
Round 3 (2018) Best Result Round 3 (2016)

Tanya was completely unseen during the conflict of MK11. She served Mileena's doomed uprising during the MKX Outworld civil war, but her true loyalties were to herself. Frost submitted herself to cyborg transformation in MK11, serving Kronika as the leaer of a new Lin Kuei cyber initiative. She pits her cold fusion against her former Grandmaster. Choose their destiny. FIGHT!

At first I was mad that they retconned Tanya's treasonous nature with Edenia-- as that was one of her only defining qualities--, but I actually think it allows for more depth and dimension for her character. She was amazing in MKX! I hope they don't leave her in the dust again.

Cyber frost is such a good update and Tanya's dead or whatever. So frost.

Frost , I miss her old version of MKDA and I hate her new looks in MK11 yuck!

Neither are particularly good characters. but Frost is one of the worst in the franchise.

So Tanya by default,

TOURNAMENT BATTLE - ROUND 2:
Kenshi versus Sindel
#7 Supreme Ranking #42
21 wins 8 losses Record 5 wins 8 losses
Runner-Up (2017) Best Result Round 3 (2018)

Kenshi helped defeat Netherrealm in MKX, but did not return for MK11. The sword saint's corpse can be found in The Krypt, seemingly drained of life by Shang Tsung. Sindel lives again in MK11 Aftermath! The Edenian Queen is recruited to prevent the rise of Kronika, but instead reunites with her Emperor Shao Kahn to reclaim the Outworld throne! Who's next? FIGHT!

The one and only Queen Sindel ! ❤❤❤

I miss kenshi but sindel was crazy good in aftermath. I'm learning to live with her being evil.

TOURNAMENT BATTLE - ROUND 2:
Geras versus Kung Lao
#19 Supreme Ranking #13
3 wins 1 loss Record 15 wins 8 losses
Round 3 (2019) Best Result Quarters (2012)

Geras is an ancient artificial being built by The Keeper of Time. He has watched events unfold over centuries, wielding the shifting sands of time to escape destruction. Kung Lao is a descendent of Earthrealm's last great champion. While his corrupt revenant serves Kronika, his time-displaced younger self battled Geras to avert the plot for a new era. Choose their destiny. FIGHT!

Hard to choose. I think Geras is a little better. Kung lao has lost something.

TOURNAMENT BATTLE - ROUND 2:
Mileena versus Sheeva
#16 Supreme Ranking #41
13 wins 8 losses Record 5 wins 7 losses
Semis (2015) Best Result Round 3 (2017)

Mileena fought a civil war to claim the Outworld throne in MKX. She was executed by D'Vorah and was not brought forward from the past by Kronika's timequake. Sheeva proved a pivotal ally against The Keeper of Time. Making her playable return in MK11 Aftermath, she was forced to turn against her former charge to protect Kitana's new regime in Outworld. Choose their destiny. FIGHT!

MKX was the only game that I enjoyed Mileena's story. But shes dead and overall just a 'meh' for me.

Ive always liked Sheeva and love what theyve done with her in MK11. So Sheeva,

Maybe if Mileena was in MK11 as she should be, this would be a more difficult pick

Sheeva is awesome in aftermath. Rip mileena

TOURNAMENT BATTLE - ROUND 2:
Kai versus Raiden
#50 Supreme Ranking #2
4 wins 7 losses Record 30 wins 7 losses
Round 2 (2019) Best Result Champion (2019)

Kai was last playable in Armageddon. First appearing in MK4, he was a trusted ally to the White Lotus Society, who was entrusted Raiden's staff as he journeyed the world seeking enlightenment. Raiden is the eternal protector of Earthrealm who rallied forces against the threat of Kronika in MK11. His power helped to destroy the Keeper of Time, but in Aftermath that power is at risk of being subverted. Who's next? FIGHT!

I like Kai but he'd have to be in another game to be close to raidens league. Seems like that ship sailed.

TOURNAMENT BATTLE - ROUND 3:
Sub-Zero versus Fujin
#1 Supreme Ranking #11
38 wins 6 losses Record 20 wins 7 losses
Champion (2017) Best Result Champion (2015)

Sub-Zero is Grandmaster of a Lin Kuei under siege from the newly reactivated cyber initiative in MK11. He joined the frontline fight against Kronika and her army of new era advocates. Fujin returned in MK11 Aftermath, escaping the void once Kronika's crown was destroyed. He then travels back through time to avert the artifact's destruction, wielding its power to avert the end of reality itself! Choose their destiny. FIGHT!

I've been convinced by Fujin. He really lived up to the hype in aftermath. Subzero is cool but not as special.

TOURNAMENT BATTLE - ROUND 3:
Scorpion versus Shang Tsung
#9 Supreme Ranking #6
18 wins 8 losses Record 24 wins 7 losses
Semis (2019) Best Result Champion (2018)

Scorpion fought on the frontlines against Kronika in MK11, perishing before his younger self's eyes. The origins of the ninja spectre were revisited in Scorpion's Revenge where he was almost crowned champion. Long after the animated tournament: Shang Tsung returned in MK11 Aftermath. Escaping the void, he led efforts to rescue existence by recovering Kronika's shattered crown from earlier in time. Choose their destiny. FIGHT!

Shang tsung is just too good in aftermath to not pick.

TOURNAMENT BATTLE - ROUND 3:
Kronika versus Reiko
#25 Supreme Ranking #40
3 wins 1 loss Record 5 wins 6 losses
Round 3 (2020) Best Result Round 3 (2017)

Kronika is the final boss of MK11. As Keeper of Time she determines fate, but the future is not as the Titan designed it. Rallying forces from the past and present, she works to unravel time to devise a new era. Reiko hasn't been playable since Armageddon, but in MKX tie-in comics, he steered Mileena's efforts in the Outworld civil war. His manipulations ended when his body was torn apart from the inside out. Who's next? FIGHT!

Reiko shouldn't have made it past round 1
