Heihachi Mishima (Tekken) vs Shao Kahn (Mortal Kombat)

[Agent Z]

The Patriarch of the Mishima Clan vs the Emperor of Outworld. Who wins?

[Nik Hasta]

I feel like the whole Tekken 4 intro/Tekken 7 story confirms Heihachi has having significantly better stats than Shao Khan.

I mean, I've watched the storylines of MK 9, 10, 11 and Aftermath and Shao Khan doesn't seem very ridiculous.

Whereas Heihachi is more obviously metahuman.

[The Chou Lives]

Heiachi can head butt a robot and win. Along with insane stuff.

Heihachi in canon has survived being dropped off a cliffside while unconscious and - while weakened - being at the epicentre of an explosion with enough force to destroy a significant part of what appears to be a villa.

He also fought Kazuya in Devil Form, whose lasers are sufficiently powerful to destroy satellites, in the grounds of an active volcano, and even then he managed to go the distance before ultimately succumbing.

He also survived fighting Akuma, but your mileage may vary as to the legitimacy of that feat because it was a cross-promotion based on marketing power.

Shao Kahn did his best work with scheming and with preptime assistance with Shang Tsung and Quan Chi. He's undeniably strong, but he doesn't have the same cartoonish resume as Heihachi does.

Shao Khan is probably a better father though.

Which says more about how utterly insane Heihachi is than anything else.
