Vs.
Nightmare: The wielder of Soul Edge...
(Nightmare swings his mighty sword 'Soul Edge' cutting down multiple soldiers at once before swinging it a second time cutting another in half consuming their souls)
"This is another fight I've been waiting to see. Two fighting-game villains as well as our most polar opposite match to date. Regards to fighting styles Sorcery versus Swordsmanship." MKFreak explained.
"The stats we raised on these two were close in physique. Shinnok is taller while Nightmare is physically, muscularly larger. Lets look at those stats now." Marley said.
Shinnok:
Origin: Mortal Kombat
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 285 lbs.
Armor: None
Nightmare:
Origin: Soul Calibur
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 336 lbs.
Armor: Steel plate
Both of these two video game villains come equipped with a massive arsenal designed to kill, Shinnok's signature weapon is his Staff
The Amulet Staff:
Length: 7'
Weight: 85 lbs.
Material: Wood, Steel
Stats: Pros-Can teleport anywhere, anytime, and through time. Cons-Most of it's power comes from it's amulet
"Shinnok's greatest weapon was his own creation, The Staff of Shinnok. Most of its power comes from the Amulet held inside. This amulet allows him to teleport wherever he wants and whenever he wants. It can also project fireballs from the tip." MKFreak explained.
(Shinnok battles Sub-Zero teleporting out of the way of his Kori Blade before appearing behind him striking him in the back the head with a Fireball)
Nightmare's signature weapon can take on armies of soldiers and devours the souls of his enemy upon contact
The Soul Edge:
Length: 6'
Weight: 10 lbs.
Material: Evil spirited living material
Stats: Pros-Devours souls upon contact. Cons-At times can be unwieldy
"Nightmare's signature weapons might be one of the deadliest swords in video game history. It has the length needed for close combat. But, unlike most weapons it devours the souls of his enemies upon contact." Marley started. "This blade also seems to have a mind of its own taking control over whoever holds it."
(Nightmare swings his mighty Soul Edge in rapid succession cutting down multiple enemy soldiers with ease, devouring their souls)
After examining both weapons which do our experts believe gets the edge?
"Despite the Staffs options I don't see it causing such significant damage to Nightmare with his armor, and with no armor projecting him Shinnok is in a lot of trouble, edge: Soul Edge." Marley said.
"Agreed armor means everything in battle and since the blade devours souls Shinnok is even more danger, edge: Nightmare." MKFreak said.
For mid-range weapons the edge goes to Nightmare's Soul Edge
Coming up the ranged attacks of these two video game villains are put to the test. Afterwards Shinnok's legendary amulet faces off against Nightmare's signature claw. Shinnok (Mortal Kombat) or Nightmare (Soul Calibur) Who will be the Deadliest Warrior...?
Both of these two video game villains come armed with their respected ranged attacks
The Amulet Fireball:
Range: Limited
Weight: N/A
Stats: Pros-Amulet from staff projects a fireball at high speeds. Cons-Not as deadly against armor
"As stated before Shinnok's staff is powered by an amulet this amulet can project a fireball at high speeds. Combined with the teleporting abilities and magic powers Shinnok poses it is incredibly lethal." Marley said.
(Shinnok swings his staff knocks Sub-Zero backwards using his Amulet Fireball)
Nightmare's ranged weapon lacks in kill ability but makes up in defense
The Soul Wave:
Range: Up Close
Weight: Depends on opponent
Stats: Pros-Enveloped with electricity, sends enemies crashing backwards. Cons-Great defense but horrific Offense
"The Soul Wave is a special defensive ability Nightmare can use to stun foes and knock them back with it's sheer power. This power envelopes his entire body in electricity isn't a lethal weapon by far. Used primarily for defense and breaking an opponents offense." MKFreak said.
(Nightmare fights Cervantes using his Soul Wave knocking the undead pirate of his feet)
After examining both ranged attacks which do our experts believe gets the edge?
"The Soul wave is designed to knock foes back and can inflict some damage but not enough to kill, the Amulet fireball is more range, faster speeds and is designed to kill, edge: Shinnok." MKFreak said.
"Agreed the Amulet fireball is far deadlier than the Soul Wave, edge: Amulet Fireball." Marley said.
In ranged weaponry the edge goes to Shinnok for his Amulet Fireball
These warriors are neck in neck Shinnok intends on settling the score with his amulet
The Amulet of Shinnok:
Length: 5" In Diameter
Weight: Under 1 Ounce
Stats: Pros-Increase in magic power, Pure immortality. Cons-FAKE!
"The time has come for us to examine one of the most destructive weapons in fictional history. The Amulet of Shinnok was created by Shinnok himself. It grants him basically everything he would ever need. From teleportation, fireball projection and even pure immortality. Even though it is a fake it works pretty well. If our calculations are correct this weapon might just be enough to survive Soul Edge." MKFreak explained.
(Shinnok holds his amulet in his right hand teleporting across the battlefield multiple times before slamming his staff in the back of his opponents head)
Nightmare retaliates with his claw
The Nightmare Claw:
Range: 18"
Weight: 6.6 lbs.
Material: Organic
Stats: Pros-Can inflict massive damage in an instant. Cons-Limited Range.
"This claw is bound to Nightmare's body and acts as his sole weapon. The armor is incased in a massive shoulder pad and gauntlet. This claw can be used in multiple attacks or moves. Double Death Claw, Upper Claw, and the Shoulder Claw Throw." Marley started. "The Upper Claw is a powerful slash, while the Shoulder Claw throw is as it name suggest is a claw strike and throw over the shoulder, and finally the Double Death Claw."
(Nightmare fends off an enemy combatant swinging his Soul Edge before slashing the foe with his massive claw cutting deep into his foes chest)
After examining both special weapons which do our experts believe gets the edge?
"The Amulet is an incredibly lethal weapon it increases his magical powers and make him immortal, edge: Shinnok." Marley said.
"Agreed despite the attack bonuses behind Nightmare's claw the Amulet of Shinnok is one of the most powerful weapons ever used or even created in video history, edge: Shinnok." MKFreak said.
For special weapons the edge goes to Shinnok for his powerful Amulet
Our experts have examined each fighters weapons, armor, and skills. Now its time to run the simulation.
Two fighting game villains enter the arena. Will Shinnok's Sorcery prove enough to defeat the deadly Nightmare. Or can Nightmare's soul devouring Soul Edge kill the vengeful elder god...

Daly clicks the switch and the battle opens up to a recently ransacked temple with Quan Chi's corpse rotting not to far away. A tall man in clad in robes walks up to the corpse and digs through it picking up an amulet. The man walked towards the entry of the temple, looking over his shoulders to see a bulky figure wearing armor(Nightmare). Shinnok slowly turned towards the mysterious figure and shouted,
"Who are you?"
His opponent didn't reply...
Shinnok drew his staff and spun it around his head and held it in Nightmare's direction. Nightmare chuckled and swung his mighty sword in Shinnok's direction in an attempt to intimidate his foe. The camera panned around both combatants before zooming out.
FIGHT!
Nightmare and Shinnok ran towards each other swinging their signature weapons. Soul Edge clashed with the Amulet Staff, knocking Shinnok off balance. Nightmare swung his sword twice slashing his opponent across the chest twice. Shinnok retaliated spinning his staff around his head smacking Nightmare across the face. Frustrated Nightmare backhanded Shinnok with his massive claw throwing him backwards crashing through the doors to the temple. Nightmare rushed his down foe raising his sword above his head prepared to end the fight. Shinnok teleported away from Nightmare and used Amulet Fireball hitting Nightmare in the back. With little effect on his armor. Nightmare charged towards Shinnok swinging his massive sword multiple times however his foe managed to dodge every attack.
Shinnok swung his staff slapping Nightmare across the face knocking him backwards. Nightmare swung his sword at his foe slashing his foe across the chest stunning him before using his Shoulder Claw throw slamming his foe into a wall not too far away. Shinnok quickly jumped to his feet and teleported in front of his foe and swung his Amulet Staff slamming onto Nightmare's shoulder. However Nightmare had used his Soul Wave at the last second sending his foe flying backwards crashing onto the ground. Nightmare charged towards his stunned foe leaping into the air swinging Soul Edge. Shinnok teleported away from Nightmare his massive sword cutting a massive hole into the temple floor. Nightmare turned towards his opponent but was shocked to see a massive firestream heading towards him. As the smoke cleared Nightmare looked up in time to block Shinnok's Amulet Staff. Nightmare retaliated swinging his massive claws into Shinnok's stomach doubling him over in pain. Shinnok shook off the attack and threw Nightmare across the room heavily denting his armor. Nightmare ran towards Shinnok reaching out for him with his claw, his enemy leapt backwards knocking the claw out of the way. Nightmare swung his sword stabbing Shinnok in the chest. Shinnok roared in pain fumbling backwards and looking at his massive wound.
His opponent hanging on the edge of life Nightmare advanced on Shinnok swinging his sword in rapid succession. Shinnok blocked his massive onslaught with his Amulet Staff. He teleported around Nightmare multiple times punching him between each teleportation. Shinnok teleported in front of Nightmare as he fumbled backwards slamming his Amulet Staff into Nightmare's forehead sending him flying backwards and crashing through multiple support beams. The temple shook violently and began to collapse. Shinnok teleported out of the building and watched from a distance as it finally fell. He teleported back in front of the remains to examine the area. As he searched for the corpse of his fallen foe a massive claw punched through the debris grabbing Shinnok by the forehead. Before the rest of his body followed and threw Shinnok onto a hillside. Nightmare walked towards Shinnok holding his sword by his side. Shinnok teleported into the air and fired dozens of Amulet Fireballs at Nightmare. He was shocked to see his opponent running through the powerful volley of fireballs. Nightmare jumped into the air stabbing Shinnok in the groin with his claws. His opponent in hand Nightmare spun around slamming Shinnok on the ground. Shinnok struggled to stand, Nightmare held Soul Edge above his head and flew at Shinnok in high speeds. Shinnok had no time to react as the massive blade cut through his chest. Nightmare ripped Soul Edge out of his opponents body only to be surprised to see what followed.
_
Shinnok slowly rose to his feet gripping his massive wound coughing up blood by the gallons.
"Is that the best you can do!"
Nightmare roared in anger and charged towards Shinnok swinging Soul Edge. Shinnok raised his Amulet Staff in the air blocking the massive blade. The staff shattered to thousands of pieces. Nightmare grabbed Shinnok by the head with his claws slowly crushing his skull. Shinnok screamed agony, his screams ceased as Nightmare drove his sword into his stomach. Shinnok's head and shoulder slumped in defeat. Certain to make sure his opponent doesn't come back from the dead. Nightmare swung his sword cutting Shinnok's head and body completely in half before letting out dozens of swings reducing Shinnok to pile of dust and bones.
K.O!
Nightmare walked towards the remains of Shinnok and picked up his Amulet with this new found power he would be practically unbeatable.
WINNER:
Nightmare:
Soul Edge: 500
Nightmare Claw: 121
Soul Wave: 8
WINS: 629
Shinnok:
Amulet Staff: 158
Amulet of Shinnok: 143
Amulet Fireball: 70
WINS: 371
Results: Shinnok's amulet was incredibly effective however Nightmare's armor kept him alive long enough to counter the amulets so called 'pure immortality'. The amulet could only protect him for so long against the soul devouring, Soul Edge. Even if he could have somehow survive it he couldn't ever harm Nightmare through his armor.
"This was surprisingly even match. Shinnok's amulet was incredibly powerful in offense and in defense. It allowed him to survive the soul devouring capabilities of Nightmare's sword. However he couldn't really hurt Nightmare trough his armor thanks to his weaker physical attacks. This fight could've gone on for hours, though Nightmare's armor and sword proved just enough to counteract Shinnok's magical abilities and pure immortality." Marley said.
