AnnihlationNation will be the MK expert and i will back up the KoF

AN:Major reasoning suggests this, because Scorpion is one of the most powerful kharacters in the MK roster, his devestatign rope-dart move will hit, and lead to an easy free attack, rounding out punishign combos, devestating uppercuts, or slashes from the Mugai-Ryu.

He has teleportation abilities, which he can vanish into smoke, and come from behind and knock an opponent into the skies. He can summon teh very flames of hell to erupt and torch the opponent in battle, even.

Plus, Scorpion is hell-bent on revenge, he cannot be killed easily, and not only that, the hellspecter will not stay dead. He has emerged from the Netherrealm after death about 3 times, after being first killed by the elder Sub-Zero (Noob Saibot), and thrown into a soulnado, which rips apart specters, such as him), by the deadly alliance.

And the ANnhilation Fatality... it's so devestatign, they couldn't show what actually happens. just a load of Shirai-Ryu members massacring their foe... it's awesome.

MP:In contrast to Scorpion being the most popular character in MK, Kyo is also one of the most popular character in KoF. What makes Kyo so deadly is his pyrokinesis ability and Martial arts training. Kyo inherits the power to control fire at will, he can create fire out of thin air or cover his entire body on fire. Kyo is trained in the ancient Kusanagi martial arts which utilizez the combination of his pyrokinesis abilities with his fist, so everytime Scorpion gets punched by him he gets burned too, and Kenpo training helps him develop devastating empty/open hande strikes and counter grappling.

Scorpions rope dart is a devastating strike against normal opponets, but not if your enemy can burn it to crisp once it touches his body. His hellfire punch is a good suprise attack, but it dosent compare to an anti-air strike from Kyo's Oniyaki if Scorpion is doing an airborn attack or to Kyo's devastating Aragami combo strike if scorpion is striking from the ground. the Annihlation fatality is truly scary a bunch of undead ninjas ready to rip you apart, but not if Scorpion and them are all burn to a crisp thanks to the molten Orochinagi burst.

Hell-bent on seeking revenge is a great motivation for fighting(even in escaping death 3 times), but it leads you into making rash deciscions on the battlfield which would most likely be the cause of your defeat(explaining his last two deaths). Kyo has been defeated on three seperate occassions, but that never made him seeking revenge it motivated him into becoming a stronger fighter. in course of the KoF series, kyo changed his fighting style 3 times too always keep his opponent guessing

Overall Devasting strikes, anti-air counters, and Devastating special will make Kyo the victor.

now its time for you to decide the winner, remember only good, valid reasons are the main key to your wrriors victory.
