Ryu and Scorpion Engage in a Little Street Kombat (II)
Seeing as Ryu and Scorpion’s “fight or flight” responses are firmly stuck on the “fight” side, it makes a decent amount of sense that if they encountered one another in the forest, they’d immediately start to tussling. This is the second in a series of “ultimate fan fights” — the first was Captain America vs. Batman — but I think the fight choreography in this one is much improved, and has better special effects, too. If you’re concerned about the winner, don’t be — you get to choose your own ending. I’m a fan of Scorpion’s ending, personally, if only because everybody’s skulls are so freakin’ big. You’ll see.
