BeastMan14's "Ya'll Remember When Saying "Baraka Obama" Was The Best Joke Imaginable" Edges

Weapons: Lust. Lust's biggest advantage over the more close-combat suited Baraka is the substantial range edge over Baraka's claws, which have more cutting power to them. The claw spark is a neat trick, but it's relatively easy to avoid and not really something Baraka would consider spamming, given his preference for dealing with his foes up-close. Lust, on the other hand, will glad hang back, skewering Baraka when he tries to get too close. Not to mention,  as Mortal Kombat X (alternate timeline but bear with me here) shows, Baraka's true weakness is an opponent with proper range.

Special: Lust. The Philosopher's Stone is a huge edge in Lust's favor, enabling her to bounce back from wounds and keep fighting at a rate much faster than Baraka's damage output could possibly match. He's probably a more skilled combatant, but that won't do squat against a foe that can piece herself back together.

Deadliest Warrior: Lust. Despite this newfound shot at the big leagues, Baraka is simply outclassed by Lust. He just can't keep up with a warrior who outranges him and can easily recover from every attack thrown at him. Even with her sadism and arrogance, I don't see Lust giving Baraka the chance to get the drop on her the same way Mustang did, meaning she should mop up the Tarkatan fairly handily. Overall Score: 750-250
