For those of you picking 10-0 in favor of Kano...
Umm...how many times has Kano beaten Sonya on the field again?
Mortal Kombat is fought on the field, NOT on paper.

The bad guys have won in MK AT LEAST 14 times (including tournaments won by Shang Tsung and Goro, as well as the merging of Edenia). That fact alone is a foolproof rebuttal to your "Good guys always win".

Sonya Bland
BANALITY
All the 100% humans get a 0 vote from me, no way a human could beat a guy with lasers and technics, hell lasers even beat chimera, minotaurs, and dragons if they were real.
Don't underestimate lasers.
Also Kano is a male and looks much tougher than Sonya, he plays unfair and sonya plays following rules, he has so many advantages it hurts. The only thing Sonya has on her side is speed.
But let me tell you something.
Catoblepas a mythological monster has very little speed but is very big and powerful, he has challenge rating 12, Kamaitachi, a very EXTREMELY fast weasel monster from Japanese mythology has all the speed of the world but little strenght, it is challenge rating 3... Speed never wins from strenght in fantasy.

On the contrary, if this thread was only about "field wins," it would make sense to put Sub-Zero at 10-0 over both Fujin and Quan Chi, and Stryker 10-0 over Ermac and Kintaro. This kind of stickling for fights we've personally observed is not the purpose of this thread at all. If that's all I wanted, there would be no point asking for public input, I could just look up the numbers on the MK wiki.
In MK9, we clearly see Kano outwit Sonya and catch her with her pants down. If not for Cage's superheroics, she was dead to rights. That sounds like a defeat to me. In the MK film, Kano was dismantling Sonya throughout that entire fight. The fact that she managed to get off a killing blow doesn't mean that she will always manage to get off a killing blow (in fact, in MK3 she failed to do so), which is what a 10-0 signifies. And in the games, Sonya is basically the same as MK film Sonya, while Kano shoots lasers from his eye. 10-0 means zero chance. Neither Kano nor Sonya is that far ahead of the other to deserve a 10-0 sweep.

Kotal vs Goro 6-4
You know, Goro cheated for a reason. He cheated because he knew Kotal is a great warrior, he said the contrary to mock him. When Rain blotted out the sun, only Osh-Tekk warriors lost their special powers, while Goro, a four armed individual, still kept his projectile. That's why it was a CHEAT.
Kotal fulfilled the blood kode to incapacitate Goro, because he knew (who doesn't) that he was a formidable foe. But that wasn't something he found on the street. He even apologizes for his father. It was something connected to him.
So, I think the best would be 5-5. Both harmed enough to stop fighting. But Goro cheated bad. Did he need that? That's what makes a 6-4 to Kotal.
Scorpion vs Raiden 8-2
Two of my favorite characters, but I have no doubts Raiden would succeed. Scorpion is a deadly, formidable warrior. Raiden would have some tough work. But let's admit, Raiden is a god, we probably never seen his powers on full potential.
Kano vs Sonya 4-6
Sonya is underestimated. Ok, Kano has all of his upgrades. Do we seriously think that someone "normal" would survive a MK Tournament? Or worst, Outworld? Even an Outworld invasion and a Netherrealm invasion?
Kano would be tough, but Sonya would beat him in the end. He doesn't play fair, because in a fair fight, he would have his ass kicked.

You don't think that Raiden used his full powers against Shao Kahn in Armageddon? Yet Shao Kahn still won. And Liu Kang has consistently defeated Shao Kahn in every tournament. But I'm sure that people would vote that Raiden is stronger than Liu Kang, I would be tempted to as well. Something here doesn't make any sense.
The thing is, Sonya hasn't actually done much fighting in MK that we know of. We know that she fought Kano in MK3, and until MK9 that's the only fight we have ever had a conclusive outcome for involving her. In fact, the only MK tournament she ever participated in was MK1, and there are plenty of characters in MK1 that a regular human could defeat with a bit of luck. MK2 was the only other game with a tournament, and Sonya was kidnapped for its duration. In MK3, for all we know she acted more like a leader/tactician marshaling Earthrealm's defenses than a warrior on the front lines. Past that, there were never tournaments, just different characters running around doing whatever they wanted (for Sonya this involved dying, but not much of beating anyone). In MK9, she beat Sub-Zero, Raiden (obviously going easy on her), Jade/Kitana, and Kano. No truly supernatural opponents.
I think MKX (and the comic, going forward) will be pivotal in cementing Sonya's fighting abilities... or lack thereof. I expect her to keep fighting regular humans, i.e. wraith Kitana, Jax, Kung Lao, maybe Kano and Erron Black.

I think he may have used all of his forces until perish, but Shao Kahn, who is already one of the strongest living being of all realities, was empowered by Blaze's essence, so he was some kind of god too. Raiden nor Earthrealm stood a chance.

About Sonya, well, MK1 didn't show us who were the kombatants, we only saw some of them on MK9.
During the first game, it's stated that those we can play are the survivors, among them are only incredible fighters, I think she is some kind of unique.
The only tournament she had was MK1. The rest was war, and if she survived those invasions...she is pretty strong. You are right, during the comics/game we shall see more of her potential.
I think Kano is a tough opponent, but I think she really can randle :laugh:

7 Kotal Kahn - Goro 3 The only reason Goro has that third victory is due to the cooldown effect of Kotal's blood code.
9 Raiden - 1 Scorpion As strong as Hanzo is, withou Scorpion's power he can't defeat Raiden so easily. Beside, Raiden killed Lui Kang and Scorpion did not.
4 Sonya -6 Kano With the new upgrade Kano has gained, It's going to be hard for Sonya to keep up. Plus she's old without upgrades while Kano could move like a human Cassie's age no matter how old he gets as long as he has his upgrades. Sonya can't keep up forever.

5-5 for kotal vs Goro. Kotal did beat him in the comics, but was losing and almost lost until the rage of him losing his father propelled him to victory. Seems like an even match to me.
7-3 Raiden over Scorpion. This pains me to say cause Scorpion is my fav character, but Raiden is the thunder god and has beaten him before.
6-4 in favor of Sonya. Classic matchup, and Sonya has seemed to have a slight advantage in the past.

Im a Kano fan and while i don't necessarily disagree with you about the outcome of this match up. I see things alil differently. Sonya is a military trained Vet and Kano is a tough street fighting/thug. I honestly think if it was a FAIR fight Kano would come out the winner. Not saying Sonya is a push over, but take away all the nonsense and Kano is the Winner. I think Kano defeats himself. He's your typical bas guy that has to boast and gloat giving his victim/opponent time to recuperate and spring a surprise attack that takes him out. Thats just how i see Kano.
IDK why but i saw your post and i had to stick up for my boy Kano lol

I agree you can't go purely off field wins. However I think it's pretty silly to completely ignore them. You can't use them to argue for your fav character but ignore them when they back up a character you like. To me the 10-0 fights are just unrealistic btw. I mean Raiden vs Sonya, sure I believe 10-0, but kano Sonya 10-0 just seems biased imo. Not saying you did any of these things obviously, just was related to your post lol

Hahahaha and I must confess something. When I was writing about it, I remembered of you, because you are a fan of both, and I imagined what would you vote when you like them a lot :laugh:

You're a disgusting human being. You have absolutely no right to attack others because you think their opinion is 'wrong', yet you continue to do so whenever someone states an opinion you disagree with. Stop trying to convince yourself that your opinion has a higher value than everyone else's, because it doesn't. Your opinions aren't facts, although you seem to think they are.
I've yet to see you actually state an opinion that isn't extremely biased or one-sided, so I find it hilarious that you're accusing others of being biased. You're such a hypocrite.
