I think Nightmare takes this battle by far. First and formost, This Nightmare is not a being made of flesh, but the living embodiment of the cursed sowrd Soul Edge. So flesh wounds and being ripped in ahalf won't really do much to him in the end as it will someone in the MK world. I also think his blade, The Soul Edge, is by far the most devasting weapon here and will tear through Shao Khan and his hammer in half. Nightmare's attack also seem to be able to do more damage than some of Shao Khan's attack, overall my edge goes to Nightmare.
