Have you ever been sitting around daydreaming and MK pops into your brain. You say to yourself, "who would win in fight between Baraka and Kabal?" or "Who would win between the new black dragon and the old?" Well I wonder these things all the time.

note* (For thoughs of you who have read this before I've decieded to bring this back because I really just love doing it. so far everything is the same as before so I'll post some new stuff in the coming days.)

I was talking to a friend of mine who does the same thing only with DC and Marvel characters but he puts it on paper and maps out the battle. He has gone as far as listing each of the characters along with their statistics. I thought it was a cool idea and so I've started doing the same thing with the MK Kharacters.

For starter I should point out that this is NOT a tier list for any of the MK games. I base all the stats on the training and experiences the character has gone through within the STORYLINE. I have been thinking, and tweaking for a while now but I still have a ways to go.

I've started by giving a breif synopsis of the characters personality and story, followed by a grade symbolizing the characters strengths or weaknesses in a particular area. Each Kombatant is given a point value for different attributes, like agility, strength and vitatilty, which operates on a scale of 1-7. A 1 is pethetic, 4 representes average skill, and a 7 is flawless. I've even given some fighters, like Raiden for example, an 8 in some places for godly, or a 0 for none existent

So far, the attributes are as follows:

Agility - over-all speed
Experience - over all Kombat eperience
Vitality - how much physical punishment the fighter can take
Strength - home much physical punishment the figher can dish out
Will - how much heart the kombatant possess
Leadership - How well the fighter can work cooperatively and cohesively with others
Fa jing - How well skilled the fighter is with mystic and chi based attacks

Depending on the character, some attributes over lap, working together by strengthening each other. example. Raiden, his strength is rated a 6 but combind with his experience (8) and Fa Jing (8) it can be pushed up to a 7 or 8.

If you have any other ideas or imput please tell me. I'll start with a couple characters that have been around for a while.

Sub-Zero - A powerful warrior who has mastered the element of cold, he is the Grandmaster of the newly reformed Lin Kuei. Through years of fighting and bloodshed, he has proven himself to be one of Earth's greatest heros. Going against all he stood for years ago, he forges a new destiny for himself and his fellow clansmen, by moving them from the darkness into the light. He has traveled into Outworld with his prize pupil Frost to help Raiden and the other heros of Earth to combat the Deadly alliance. He was ultimatly betrayed by frost when she stole the prize posession of all Lin Kuei Grandmasters, past and present, the Dragon Medalion. She tried in vain to harness its power but the strain was to much for her undiciplined soul...she was consumed by her own freezing ability. Sub-Zero took her reamains deep into the snow covered plains of the north. By chance, he came across a collection of ancient ruins and decieded to take refuge there. Within those walls he discovers what he believed to be his and frost's ancient heritage. He places Frost's frozen body in a tomb, and takes the mystical armor of his forefathers hiden within the ruins.

Scorpion - As a hellspawned spectre, Scorpion is a being filled with unyeilding torment and hate. He pursued his manipulator, and ultimate betrayer Quan Chi, from the farthest reaches of the Netherealm into the Outworld where he was ambushed by two Oni who had followed them both. The Oni flung his battered body into a soulnado leading to the heavens where his body and soul would have been ripped apart by the purity of that realm. He was able to escaped it to the void, the space between realms , where he met the Elder Gods themselves. After witnessing the destruction of the forces of light and the rise of the Dragon King, Scorpion was transformed in the the Elder Gods Champion...the Enforcer of their will.
