Akuma VS Shao Kahn (Street Fighter VS Mortal Kombat) | DEATH BATTLE! 

Shao Kahn: Flawless victory Me staring at the gaping hole in his chest: You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means

Shao Khan: I've Killed Bison. Akuma: So have I. Shao Khan: I'm intrigued.

I love how consistently but subtly Capcom reminds us that Akuma is a pretty decent, normal guy when not fighting. He sells fruit at a roadside fruit stand to make a living, plays arcade games, waits for his luggage at the airport, and made friends with Elena. Sure, some of that was from the anime series a while back, but it's there.

Fun fact: When he’s not stalking Ryu, Akuma likes to run a little fruit vendor stall in Japan.

Honestly, Kahn seems like the kind of guy that would be so full of himself that he'd say "flawless victory" even if he did have a hole punched in his chest.

"Flawless victory" says a guy with a hole in his torso. That's some Black knight levels of confidence right there :D

This video showed Khan more respect than any of the modern Mortal Kombat games.

Kahn: Flawless victory! Literally everyone else: Dude, you have a giant hole in y... Kahn: I said flawless victory! Everyone: ....yes sir...

When you look at both characters' resumes, Shao Kahn may have some bigger wins, but he's taken on much worse losses IMO. Perhaps the problem here is that Netherrealm Studios is just really bad at power scaling their characters.

"Shao Kahn has conquered multiple realms." Noob Saibot: Name one realm he controls.

Just remember everyone. Don't blame DB blame MK for being bad at giving us power scalings for their characters.

I like how Shao Kahn says Flawless Victory in both of his Death Battles, despite getting hit and hurt multiple times. (To varying degrees)

They forgot his main power. The Akuma Mata Ta. Where he empties his mind of all worries for the rest of his days.

Kahn: Flawless victory Also Kahn: **has hole in chest**

you gotta love how much less intimidating Shao Kahn looks without his helmet

That counter to Shin Akuma's kick is everything.

Akuma: "Kills Shang Tsung" Shao Kahn: "Kills M.Bison" Akuma and Shao Kahn: Fine, i'll do it myself

Shao Khan: " flawless victory " Everyone: "you sure about that buddy." Me an intellectual: "why wasn't he spamming shoulder rush" Edit: thanks for all the likes guys.

Don't get me wrong, Shao Kahn is insanely strong and tough, but "Because he fought Raiden, he must scale to Cetrion, which means he can move fast enough to avoid the laser fired from space during her cinematic fatality!" is some of the absolute dumbest BS I have ever heard in the context of any VS debate. And the fact that it's the deciding factor by allowing Shao Kahn to avoid the Raging Demon makes it even worse.

Wait, isn't "Wrath of raging demon" determined by the opponents's sin, not how strong Akuma actually are ? It's like ghostriders stare, and with how many crime Shao Kahn has committed, it's will easily kill him

I like how everyone’s pointing out the fact that Shao Kahn says flawless victory even though he has a hole in his chest, but nobody’s mentioning that he took hits during the battle, and in mortal kombat you can’t take any damage at ALL to achieve a flawless victory

"He's basically a wrestling heel in the form of an otherworldly invader." Possibly the greatest summary of Shao I have ever heard.

Everytime I watch this I can't help rooting for Akuma.

The hole in the chest thing should have knocked Shao Kahn out, because in MK9 if not for Quan Chi, Shao was still out recovering. Yall did Akuma dirty in this fight.

Fun fact: As an April Fool's Day joke, Akuma was once rumored to appear in Resident Evil 2 as a playable character. The supposed requirements varied, with one being to complete the game no less than six times using only a handgun and the knife while obtaining only A-Ranks.

I just love that despite all this Liu Kang, a humble mortal human, keeps kicking Shao Khan's ass because he's just THAT skilled at martial arts.

Comic akuma once carried dimensions and became a living threat to the existence. Even if akuma dies during battle, the satsui no hadou would revive him and he'll come stronger(Reference to CVS2 ending)

Honestly, if you ask me Akuma was the faster fighter if you include his appearance in Tekken 7 into account assuming its canon which I think it is considering surviving the Raging Demon was considered a canon feat by Heihachi Mishima in his death battle against Geese Howard, I see no reason why it isn't canon for Akuma. Akuma landed the Raging Demon on Heihachi Mishima (Granted it didn't kill him due to plot and he was caught by surprise) who could react to at least 4.09% the speed of light according to the episode mentioned above by scaling to an Inferior Jack models and Heihachi and Akuma could outmanoeuvre Jack-7s no problem. That is more then double the fastest speed feat Shao Kahn has shown. This didn't even mention the fact that Akuma wasn't in Shin Akuma or Oni form when he fought Heihachi so it's likely the gap been Akuma and Shao Kahn is even bigger then that. I am not saying that Kahn couldn't win this fight he was stronger and more powerful but that doesn't really translate into direct combat I mean Liu Kang has beaten him time and time again so between the Raging Demon and Akuma's superior speed I think Akuma should have won this.

Shao Kahn: "Flawless victory!" Me: *Staring through the hole in his torso* "You uh... you sure about that one, buddy?"

Shao Kahn: “FLAWLESS VICTORY.” Me: “Considering that hole in your chest, I wouldn’t exactly call it "flawless", dude”.

not mad at all, I found this very entertaining, but I feel Akuma assumed his other forms a little too quickly.

I LOVE when two villains fight. They always have a big personality and make the fight more interesting that typical.

Shao Kahn: *Challenges the might of the Elder Gods themselves and completely manhandles Kotal Kahn* Also Shao Kahn: *Get's bodied by Kitana pretty much casually in a 1v1 match.* This is why I freaking hate the character scaling in Mortal Kombat.

I'm not generally a fan of power-scaling, but I acknowledge that it can be used well in some cases. "Cetrion barfs a space-laser in one of her fatalities, and she's an Elder God like Raiden, and Shao Kahn has beaten Raiden, so Shao Kahn can move at the same speed as the space-laser Cetrion barfed." is not one of those cases. Just the absolute dumbest and most uninteresting way you could have handled this fight.

Just for clarification, Liu Kang and Raiden's power combined was capable of matching Cetrion because one is a Thunder God and the other is one strong enough to beat Shao Kahn single-handedly everytime they fought. So how exactly does this mean Shao Kahn scales to the Elder Gods in power? Shao Kahn beat Raiden outside of Earthrealm each time he won, Raiden is much weaker when he steps into another realm. Even Shang Tsung feared Raiden's wrath during the first tournament that took place in Earthrealm. When Kahn invaded Earthrealm at the end of MK9, he was powered up off the majority earthrealm souls and that of the slain Earth's greatest warriors that Sindel killed. Kahn obeyed the Elder Gods' rules for a reason. If we're to get even deeper, Shao Kahn was murdered by a combined assault from Shang Tsung and Quan Chi, the same two who defeated Raiden and Liu Kang. If he truly was as mighty as the Elder Gods, he would have been Shinnok level power which he certainly was not. Kahn is a beast, but he is not Elder God level.

Shao Khan: "Your soul is mine!" Oni: "Jokes on you, I don't HAVE a soul!"

Well, hope you all brought your umbrellas because a Storm is about to brew in the Next Death Battle.

"can we still do it?" "fine" The biggest bro moment

Me: Sees Akuma for the first time Also me: Pure evil... But when I saw 4:50: THIS GUY IS GOOD GUY.

I just realized boomstick just said the hurricane flying kick perfectly

Yeah, uh, flawless, this victory was not. He took tons of hits, and some truly gnarly wounds.

they have disrespected akuma with this one. shao kahn not even close to akuma’s power

Saying "flawless victory" while having a huge hole in your body doesnt exactly work

My biggest issue is that Shao Khan literally needed help walking after Liu Kang punched a hole in his chest. The moment he received the blow, Liu Kang was declared the winner of the tournament and everyone believed that he died. There should be no reason that he should be shaking it off and continuing the battle like nothing happened.

He couldn’t yank his soul, but he could fully absorb him. I’m surprised he didn’t just let one of his clones get that fight.

Shao Kahn vs M Bison: Kahn wins Shao Kahn vs Akuma: Kahn wins me: eight more victories and all of earthrealm is his.

I actually thought that Akuma was gonna win by crushing his soul, especially since he sucked out so many. Hey, I’ve been wrong before.

Shao Khan was so kind, he took his time to show the fighters from his universe how to win in a Death Battle, such a nice detail from Outworld's emperor.

Plot twist: Kahn bleeds to death soon after winning, realizing his victory was not flawless after all.

Plus don't forget that Shao Kahn has centuries of experience over Akuma.

If they were going to bring up Akuma's cameo fights, why didn't they bring up his fight against Asura from Asura's Wrath?

I think my biggest criticism here is that they used Cetrion's Laser Beam as a speed feat. It's a fatality. It's fatal. He's not dodging it in gameplay or anything. It kills every time it's used.

I love when SF fantards like to bring up Shao Kahn losing to Liu Kang, which would be the hilarious equivalent to Gill, another SF top tier losing to Alex, a NORMAL HUMAN and how they bring up his inconsistent defeats in MK11, which would be the equivalent of Oro, another SF top tier getting hurt by IBUKI Looking at them at their full potential, Shao Kahn stomps Akuma due to greater power(He literally fused Worlds) and durability(He can survive a HOLE in his chest and tanked an Elder God attack) and haxes so stay mad SF tards, Kahn stomps Akuma

Liu Kang beats and humiliates Shao Khan. Death Battle years ago: "Compared to Akuma, Liu Kang's the nicest guy in the world!" But this is Death Battle: Usually if you power up first, or your explosion feats aren't higher than your opponent's - you already lost. This version of Akuma and this vid's animation quality gains a flat L.

Akuma: But I fought Azura, a demigod, and stood my own against him. Wiz & Boomstick: Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

Weird they included the non-canon Shao Khan feats but not Oni fighting Asura in the same form he used to fight and kill Chakravartin the creator god of Asura's Wrath to a standstill.

With all the analysis that Wiz and Boomstick do it makes you wonder if the creators of the characters they go over in the show had all this incredible power in mind as in was it really intentional?.

A death battle with M. Bison Vs. Shang Tsung would be cool.

That Wiz and Boomstick interaction during Akuma’s analysis was really wholesome.

I'm thinking the "Flawless Victory!" with a hole through his stomach is a reference to the Mortal Kombat movie where Liu Kang declares his win over Shang Tsung to be a "Flawless Victory" despite it being nothing of the sort.

I honestly disagree with this outcome. While Shao Khan may have been a millions of years old, I think Akuma had more dedication and technique. Shao Kahn was just a massive brickwall who mainly sat on his throne and was just a ruthless bully, whereas Akuma was a warrior who dedicated his life to fighting.

Nah akuma s better 😂 i don’t want to hear anything else

This is the one Death Battle I was confused never happened. Akuma and Shao Kahn seen more appropriate fighting eachother than M. Bison and Shang Tsung (who are a better match for eachother as well).

"The Raging Demon... Its power is unequaled... It is not my fist but your past sins that will kill you... The more evil your past doings, the more painful your death..." ~Akuma, Street Fighter Alpha 3. So is that non-canon, or?

the animation! the fight choreography! the voice acting! the lines/adlibs for the voice actors! this has got to be the most superb episode ever ! god i want more to look and feel like this.. i was heavily invested lol

17:07 17:17 ACTUALLY technically Blazes ending in MK Armageddon IS CANON. THE CATCH IS: it just wasn't done by blaze. The canon ending of Armageddon was Shaos ending, AND IN THAT ENDING he destroys the realms with blazes power after shao defeats him THEREFORE causing Armageddon.

If Shao Kahn doesn't say "You suck!" or "Is that your best?" then this fight isn't 10/10

Honestly I think Akuma could work as a good Mortal Kombat 11 DLC.

lol, Shao Kahn got owned by Earth Realm fighters, and just because you make up powers and strength for him, he would never win this fight.

What's funny, thanks to Mortal Kombat 1, which all but confirms all character endings in MK11 is canon, it means there is a canon version of Shao Kahn who became the titan of time, giving him power over all of creation in his timeline, and became more powerful than all of the Elder Gods combined (If Liu Kang's words about titan power is correct). So depending on how you want to look at it, and this is just me, Shao Kahn could've just erased Akuma from existence.

This has to be your best animated battle ive seen

Shao Kahn: Is that your best? Boomstick: I though it was funny. Shao Kahn: You suck. That is concerning as hell given that Kahn legit just called Boomstick out when he got insulted by his habit of taunting his opponents.

Fun fact: Shao Kahn started out unmasked and with large gnashing teeth similar to Baraka, since everyone from Outworld was originally to be of Baraka's race. The idea of all inhabitants of Outworld being Tarkatans was later dropped.

This fight is trash and not accurate at all you have Shin Akuma that would split a whole mountain in half and Oni that literally destroyed an entire moon. Akuma has even one shot Bison, so honestly this is a lowball fight

Shao kahn: "You dare interrupt my tournament, another fool seeking my throne." Akuma: "I only seek: is your life." Shao Kahn: "I Don't fear you ni---" *punched first by Akuma*

Shao Khan: “You dare interrupt my tournament?” Akuma: “A tournament that apparently no one cares about since I don’t see any spectators?”

Can't really call it a flawless victory when you have a big hole in your chest. Flawless victories are when you beat your opponent without taking a single hit.

Honestly, with that “piledriver seen from space” as one of Mike Haggar’s feats, along with Zangief scaling to Balrog, DB could probably do a rematch between Haggar and Zangief.

Actually.. Shao Kahn DIDN'T survive getting punched through his chest? Quan Chi ressurected him.

OK but it wasn't a flawless victory... he literally has a hole in his chest

I think a lot of people misunderstand just how many powerhouses are in MK, Shao arguably chief among them

I remember when Shao Khan's episode was the best deathbattle, this series has come so far

bro won without a heart, and it said “Flawless Victory!”

Don't think you can use the word "flawless" when there's a hole in your chest the size of your opponent's fist.

Leaving all controversy aside, can we appreciate that Boomstick was finally able to say Tatsumaki Zankukyaku?

A Kahn with a LARGE hammer vs a evil man with martial arts experience

Shao Kahn should be grateful he didn't fight the version of Akuma that stalemated Asura.

Having shao khan say flawless victory with a hole in his chest makes no sense he should have said "ITS OFFICIAL, YOU SUCK" woulda been a better fit and be funnier

Shao Khan : " flawless victory " Me: "but.. that hole in your chest " Shao Khan: *"t'is but a scratch"*

"Flawless victory" Also Shao Khan: Has hole punched in his chest

Akuma would have won this i dont agree but the have reasons to believe not!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they implied Akuma had speed equal to 20x the speed of sound while Kahn had no speed feats at all? If it was accurate, Akuma wouldn't have been hit once, never mind losing.

I don't agree. Shao Kahn did NOT survive the wrath of the Elder God's. He only came back in Mortal Kombat 11 because Kronica merged time lines, he was resurrected as a result. He was dead post Mortal Kombats 2009 reboot. Death battle participants can't receive outside help, and since Kronica was the reason he "survived" the elder gods. He doesn't have the luxury of their help in this situation

This was one of the most badass death battle fights I’ve seen in a long time but I'm sorry, that was not a flawless victory. This upcoming death battle between Storm and Korra is an utter stomp tbh it shouldn't even be fair

Never once have I seen Khan use telekinetic moves or a soul steal...

No one in SF universe can match with Shao Kahn. And he's not even a Top 5 fighters from that franchise.

Yeah Storm is definitely going to win. She’s an omega level mutant and can control COSMIC storms.

When you realize the writers don’t understand the meaning of the word “flawless”.

Look, Akuma is powerful, but Shao Kahn is a god among mortals

To anyone claiming fatalities aren’t canon, they are, though admittedly we can’t take all of them seriously, the best example being anamalities and Smoke blowing up the planet in MK3, but considering Cetrion and the Elder gods defeated the one being, the physical embodiment of at least six universes, her being planet level is reasonable Examples of fatalities being used in story mode include 1. Nightwolf using a super charged version of his ascension fatality on on Sindel in MK9 2. Davorah using her fatality to kill Baraka in MKX 3. Sindel using her MK3 fatality on two shokan soldiers in aftermath
