Best Ninja

[K1LLKANO]

Ninjas are assassins, but not all assassins are ninjas

Just like an apple is fruit, but fruit is not necessarily an apple.

ninja

n 1: a member of the ninja who were trained in martial arts and hired for espionage or sabotage or assassinations; a person skilled in ninjutsu 2: a class of 14th century Japanese who were trained in martial arts and were hired for espionage and assassinations

Sub-Zero, belonging to the Lin Kuei, a Chinese clan of assassins and cutthroats, could not possibly be a ninja because he isn't Japanese.

The Lin Kuei Clan
For centuries, in the northeastern parts of China there existed a secret clan of assassins and thieves known as the Lin Kuei. Its warriors were humans with special skills and abilities, chosen at birth to be raised apart from the workings of day-to-day civilization. These warriors were stripped of their former lives, and only the clan knew of their existence. Their abilities were passed on from generation to generation and honed through life experiences.
A fourth-generation Lin Kuei warrior by the name of Sub-Zero made himself a life in America as a cover for his true identity and purpose as an assassin. He had a wife, two sons, and a daughter. His wife wanted a normal life for her sons, so she tried in vain to hide her sons from their father. Eventually, the two sons were found, and their father returned with them to China. Their mother and sister were never seen or heard from again. The older son soon inherited the name of Sub-Zero.

The Ninja
During Japan's feudal period, a renegade Japanese-born Lin Kuei warrior named Takeda returned to his homeland and offered his services to various lords and generals. Many of his skills and techniques were copied and learned throughout Japan, eventually evolving into the art of ninjitsu. Unlike Lin Kuei, the art of ninjitsu involves the use of weapons and magic that can be mastered by any human with enough practice.

The ninjas didn't exist as a single collective clan, but rather worked as a loosely connected spy network made up of several small clans. The first ninja clan was the Shirai Ryu clan, founded by Takeda. These ninjas became foes of the Lin Kuei, and Takeda became a target for assassination.

That last blurb was actually co-written by Cliff O'Neill and our very own Jeff Greeson.

The whole history of Mortal Kombat as it existed at the time (MK - MK4) can be found here, GameSpot: History of MK. It's posted on the main page of TRMK near the bottom left.

Can we call this debate over now and all agree that Scorpion is the only true ninja of Mortal Kombat. That is, until we see another member of the Shirai Ryu or an offshoot of them surface in a future game.

CLICK ME!!!

best ninja is scorpion just because his spear gives you a free hit. but my fav is noob because i like the way he looks

 

[Sub-Zero]

Meh, Sub-Zero is surely better. His freeze gives you a free hit, he can clone himself, and he's got those awesome moves on Dragon which are good for sending your opponent into death traps. So

 

[jeroldo]

Y is smoke not on the list i know he is a ninja of sorts...

 

[mkslanger]

but didnt you say that scorp was a ninja and hes not a jap. and when you play konquest mode and you do that mission with the lin que you are assined to take out OTHER ninjas which means that to take out OTHER ninjas you have to be one yourself. But back to the piont of you being a hipocrit. Scorps not a jap but you said he was. SO how do my balls taste so far. SLANGER WINS FATALITY. I just ripped your damn head off.

Oh, in your own defintion of the word did it or did it not say assaination OHH i think it did i think its about time for your HARA KIRI.

OWNIN these girls one day at a time

Dude, you're so far off base. You musn't have read what was posted because it says right there that a Japanese-born Lin Kuei, Takeda, returned to his home land.

Takeda is Scorpion before he was killed and reanimated. He is from Japan.

Lets see, I killed a squirrel the other day, poor fella...(on to the point) If I were to kill the other squirrels, that does not make me a squirrel.

Your attempts at rebuttals really do suck your own dangling appendages. You've got no skill when it comes to picking apart a post and digesting the information presented there. Your arguments are like that of a 12 year old. Someone shows you the correct answer, but just because you think you're being rebellious against your wiser elders you retort with some inane response that has no validity. You've already lost, but you're just too damn blind/self absorbed to see that.

I can't say that I didn't have a bit of fun with our little exchanges, but it's time for me to call it quits.

On another note. You're rips at the end of your posts are about as original as mustard on a soft pretzel. Get some new material instead of the same old crap thats been used on the web for ages. Maybe you should try an intelligent arguement instead :shock:

I'm outta this one, y'all can have your thread back now

OH in the 2005 WEBSTER DICTIONARY it says NInja- Any one that has studied or mastered ninjitsu.

2005 Encyclopedia - 14th century impirialliistic mercenaries in japan correct. Ninja assasins spread all over the china territory reaching mongolia and the tokyo palace. they pulled recruits from china. the art of Ninjitsu spread quickly throughout the chinese people.

Yes started in japan but also went to china so does the salt on my balls burn your tongue. they learned ninjitsu and it says in the dictionary that makes you a ninja. its called cross reference. So watch your tongue last time you missed and hit my crack. im not into all that so you and your scorp buddies lose again.

 

[mkslanger]

apparently you pussed out i win by default

 

[mkslanger]

dude really i dont even care i just like to get scorpion fans pissed off because they are only one tracked minded and its funny for them to put there own foot in there mouth. i mean all you people think about is yellow geek and it just gets old so i just try to get them pissed off because of reactions like yours. i mean it is sad when somebody can tell you how many ball hairs he has on his right nut. I know a whole lot about MK but damn. But anyways good argument. I win but thats because you made yourself look like a fool and everybody thought it was damn funny. iv been gettin messages from scorp fans tellin me how funny it is and they really got a laugh out of you. SO i win Fatality

 

[Princess Dis]

I don't quite see what your rampage on Scorp is all about. So, you don't like him. Big deal. There're better ways to handle your undying "rage" towards a video game character.

Take this for example: I hate Havik. I think he was a worthless character. But, I don't go around making threads about his sexual preference, now do I?

I really can't quite comprehend why people like you go to forums just to piss on the community there. It doesn't make sense, doesn't add up.

But, then again, I'm probably better off speaking to a brick wall, so, I'll sum it up: You're a douchebag, and your contributions to this site are worth less than the shit I shoot out of my ass.

 

[mkslanger]

your really breakin my heart. the poiint of all this useless feed i put out is because soon as any starts a topic people do what ever they can to turn the attention over to scorpion. everytime. so they want attention so i give it to them. i ddint mean for this topic to head this way but it did because little oussies and there smart remarks bring it on them self. i mean all that had to be said was scorpion not well scorp wins by default he is the only ninja, Suck my balls yeah right. so you little bitch boy quit tryin to run your mouth to me cause are not big enough. so shut your mouth and tuck you dick in between your legs and run off little boy.

Do you have any idea how childish that sounds? Please, either grow up and straighten up or just avoid TRMK. Maybe this shit cuts it over at MK Online, but it won't fly here.

So, what you're saying is that you can't come up with an effective argument?

 

[mkslanger]

Hm. I wasn't aware I was "arguing with you about the fag only known as scorpion." I could've sworn that I just pointed out that you're an idiot.

Weird.

I'm done with this anyway. You've proven that you're not worth our time.
