Me: This Death Battle is no way associated to Screw Attack's online series.
...
Me: Monks live in solitary, away from the outside world to follow and practice their religions and various martial arts.
Sonic: But when it comes to monks in fighting games, these two always come to mind.
Me: Liu Kang, Warrior of the Shaolin and Champion of Mortal Kombat...
Sonic: And Jago, the Crème of the Crop and Champion of Killer Instinct. I'm Sonic, and he's Ultrasonic215.
Me: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to see who will win a Death Battle.
...
Me: During the times of Earth being endangered with the tenth Mortal Kombat being the final judgment call, the Wu Shi Academy have believed that one of their best students will be the victor and save Earth from the clutches of Shao Khan and Outworld.
Sonic: That is when their chosen warrior was Liu Kang, one of the MANY Bruce Lee clones in the fighting game genre. Why is that? Just listen to him yell!
Name: Liu Kang
Debut: Mortal Kombat
Knows several fighting styles of Martial Arts and the Nunchaku
Occupation: Former Shaolin Warrior, Former Champion of Mortal Kombat, Ruler of the Neatherrealm
Me: Trained by Shaolin Monks, Liu Kang has became the best student of the Wu Shi Academy and was allied in Raiden's White Lotus Society. With his training, Liu has studied and mastered seven styles of martial arts. These styles being Jun Fan; Pao Chui; Karate; Jeet Kune Do; Choy Lay Fut; Monkey; and Dragon.
Sonic: With all these styles put together, Liu Kang is an instant master of Hand-to-Hand, close quarters combat. He also master the Nunchaku, a farming tool meant for beating grain. See, he's a Bruce Lee clone!
Me: Now, the Nunchaku is a hard weapon to master, as you have to use the momentum of the weapon to give stronger attacks. Though it is impressive, a baseball bat can give out the same damage with less effort.
Special Movies:
-Flying Kick
-Bicycle Kicks/Windmill Punches
-Dragon Fire; can be aimed high, low, and be shot from the air
-Dragon Parry
Sonic: With that aside, Liu Kang can pull off impossible but cool special moves that can give a serious edge for combo attacks. Like the Flying Kick and Bicycle Kick, with one being to leap and kick from a distance and to give MULTIPLE kicks while launching himself to the opponent. Hey Nintendo, get me that move for the next Super Smash Bros.!
Me: Liu Kang also has unique pyrokenetic abilities like his Dragon Fire, burning projectiles that can be launched by any distance, even in the air. He can even use his fire for his Dragon Parry, a quick counter attacker to get out of a beginning of a combo. And, his fire can be used to enhance his over all attacks.
Sonic: Maybe he and Blaze could get along. But, fire is not the only element he can control. Somehow, Liu has control of light and darkness. Using light, he can heal himself and launch projectile just a good as his regular fire projectiles. And using darkness, Liu can set timed traps that can set up for a good combo. And like all other Mortal Kombatants, old Shoalin Boy can pull over 17 fatalities, even becoming a FREAKIN' DRAGON!
Feats:
-Having 17 Fatalities
-First to perform an Animality
-Defeated Goro, Shang Tsung, and Shao Khan
-Handled on his own against dangerous opponents
-Earning the respect, and love, from Princess Kitana
-Declared as Mortal Kombat Champion...twice
Me: During his time of the Mortal Kombat tournaments, Liu Kang has defeated a wide variety of highly skilled ninjas, assassins, Tarkatans, and the three most biggest, cheapest bosses. He was the first human since The Great Kung Lao to defeat the unbeatable Mortal Kombat Champion, Prince Goro; beaten the shape-shifting sorceror, Shang Tsung; and bested the Outworld Emporer, Shao Khan.
Sonic: Anyone who can mop the floor with big baddies is okay in my book. He sounds invincible!
Me: Don't mistaken beating powerful foes as perfection. Despite having abilities to give him an edge, Liu Kang is still mortal, and he lacks armor to give him better protection. Not to mention that, while trained to keep his emotions in check, his own anger can get the better of him.
Sonic: Now that you mentioned that, he was, well, killed...twice. First time was an unfair fight against the Deadly Alliance, and the second time when he was fighting against Raiden in the second timeline. And he was resurrected on both occasion, only as a mindless fighting zombie, and as a revenant for Quan Chi and Skinnok.
Faults:
-Only mortal
-Lacks armor
-Projectiles are not the most powerful
-Can be quickly angered when on his toll
-Has been killed...twice
Me: Which after the death of Quan Chi and Shinnok, he became the Ruler of the Neatherrealm along side Princess Kitana as his Queen. But that does change the fact that Liu Kang is in fact the Champion of Mortal Kombat.
Sonic: MORTAL KOMBAT!
Liu Kang: Shang Tsung! Only one challenge remains! Face me...IN MORTAL KOMBAT!
