User blog:Nkstjoa/Liu Kang vs. Ryu

''Currently incomplete. Will attempt to finish it whenever I get the chance.''

Starting off...
Two of the fighting genre's first heroes, these two champion warriors are legendary.

Liu Kang, the Champion of Mortal Kombat.

Ryu, the wandering warrior of Street Fighter.

I'm no Wiz or Boomstick, so I'll just look up a few things and try to see if I can come any closer to figuring out who would win... a possible Death Battle.

''Note: This Liu Kang is a composite of both the classic and new timeline. Also, while I will include a special move and fatality from MK vs. DCU, none of his accomplishments will count in this comparison, so his victories over the Flash and Green Lantern will not count.''
