This has been a long time coming, for better or worse, this is the beginning of the end.
We'll start with the minor stuff and work our way up
Part 1: Minor Profile Clean-Up
A short list of minor gripes with some current profiles that need some clean-up:
It's already accepted that everyone scales off of Quan-Chi blocking Raiden's lightning, the thing is that everyone is able to move in tandem with Raiden's lightning, even up to a Sub-Relativistic yield. So I propose we replace the Massively Hypersonic+ rating with Sub-Relativistic.
Part 3: Tier Upgrades and UES
Now for the good stuff.
First and foremost, Midway Mortal Kombat operates under a Universal Energy System as explained here. Let's go over some facts:
1) Shang Tsung can use his magic destructively, and enhancing his magical potency requires enhancing his physical strength.
2) Earthrealm warriors use their inner strength and body energies to manifest their projectiles.
3) Shao Kahn's powers are enhanced when merging realms, including his strength as seen in MK3 where Liu Kang wouldn't have defeated him without a rage boost despite defeating him previously in the Outworld tournament. His defeat and the unmerging of both Earthrealm and Edenia left him depowered.
4) All the warriors in the battle under the Pyramid of Argus, through fighting one another, contribute to the destruction of the realms through Armageddon.
These suit the requirements of a Universal Energy System, particularly:
Now, for the specific tier changes:
An old Shang Tsung, prior to being restored to his prime, used his magic to cause violent tremors across his island (as see in Shaolin Monks) to a 6-C yield. This is before his power was multiplied upon Shao Kahn restoring his prime or being granted even more power on top of that for the Earthrealm invasion.
6-C was quickly shot down, so we're not doing that.
As stated above, all 59 warriors (Armageddon's entire roster minus Taven, Daegon, Blaze, and the two custom characters) taking part in the battle under the Pyramid of Argus were responsible for causing Armageddon, which would throughly destroy the entire 2-C cosmology.
So the tier revisions will go as follows:
I can already hear protests about consistency, so let's address the anti-feats. This'll be quick, because there aren't any:
In summary, all the anti-feats against 6-C and 2-C ratings are either done casually or the current calcs aren't indicative of their potency according to the lore of the games they take part in.
That's all for this one, Midway Mortal Kombat revisions and I have had a good run together, but now I think it's time we part ways.

We'll start with the minor stuff and work our way up
Part 1: Minor Profile Clean-Up
A short list of minor gripes with some current profiles that need some clean-up:
- Reiko
- Remove the unjustified abilities: "Regeneration (Mid), Immortality (Types 1 and 3), Self-Sustenance (Type 2), and Resistance to Telekinesis"
- Downgrade his projectile range to just tens of meters just like everyone else
- Goro
- Give him a range of several meters with his ground tremors and giant leaps
- Remove his fire breathe, since it was introduced in MKX and not the Midway games
- Shang Tsung
- Give his projectiles a range of tens of meters just like everyone else, as well as extended melee range with his sword and soul steal
- Give his portal creation Low Multiversal range since it allows travel throughout the realms
- Homing Attack
- Onaga
- This new Superhuman flight speed feat, only for his travel speed and nothing else
- Motaro
- Being a centaur, it's reasonable to assume he has the travel speed comparable to that of a real horse
- Havik
- I was meaning to add this, but I forgot: currently Armageddon Havik is scaled to Taven specifically because an identical apparition to him fought Taven, however Shinnok stated Taven defeated all of his apparitions with ease, so this scaling should be removed.
It's already accepted that everyone scales off of Quan-Chi blocking Raiden's lightning, the thing is that everyone is able to move in tandem with Raiden's lightning, even up to a Sub-Relativistic yield. So I propose we replace the Massively Hypersonic+ rating with Sub-Relativistic.

4) All the warriors in the battle under the Pyramid of Argus, through fighting one another, contribute to the destruction of the realms through Armageddon.
These suit the requirements of a Universal Energy System, particularly:
- "a character or the system they are using must have explanations or showings that indicate that the powers which should scale to each other draw from the same source of power (or can convert between the different kinds of power) and use up a similar amount of power to each other"
- "they have to demonstrate or have reliable statements that all their supernatural or otherwise non-physical powers scale to each other in Attack Potency. Hence an increase in power / energy should correspond to a proportional increase in the potency of their powers and abilities"
- "they have to demonstrate that they can channel their power through their own bodies in a way that quantifiably enhances them or otherwise allows scaling of their supernatural powers through their physicals"
- "If the power source or universal energy system should be removed from a user by some means that should result in a notable loss in physical strength or alternatively even in physical harm or death"
Now, for the specific tier changes:
6-C was quickly shot down, so we're not doing that.
As stated above, all 59 warriors (Armageddon's entire roster minus Taven, Daegon, Blaze, and the two custom characters) taking part in the battle under the Pyramid of Argus were responsible for causing Armageddon, which would throughly destroy the entire 2-C cosmology.
So the tier revisions will go as follows:
All the 8-Cs will be changed to 6-CAll the High 8-Cs will be changed to twice the lesser 6-Cs- All the 7-Cs will be changed to 2-C, massively downscaling the cosmology
Test Your Might is done easily by every character in the original game, without having to power up or any other indication of it being a "peak feat"The feats in this compilation are either via state transitions that anyone can do and survive, or done casually by a fodder ice beast, again without any indication of being "peak feats"All the 9-A to 8-C fatalities done to Cyrax are based on the assumption that Cyrax is only as durable as a real human and real steel, most are done easily by the characters in question, and ultimately are just instances of characters harming one another, which remains consistent regardless of what tier the characters in question areTaven survives a High 8-C meteor without much trouble, getting up immediately afterwardsRaiden's Low 7-C sacrifice blast is just the side-effect of the blast, as he was directing it onto Onaga in the hopes of killing him, who is currently accepted to have 2-C durability due to the narrative stakes of Deception, and therefore it is not indicative to any peak in power for RaidenBlaze's 7-C cloud-moving is done easily, without him attacking or really doing anything.Cyrax's Low 7-B self-destruction is just based on the range of the explosion, not what the explosion actually destroys, we see in Sektor's MK3 ending that his self-destruction is sufficient to not only destroy Kahn's Fortress, but even an amped Kahn himself (already accepted to be 2-C as per Liu Kang's profile) as Earthrealm gets unmerged with Outworld which only can happen upon Kahn's death/defeat as it was his presence that merged the realms.
That's all for this one, Midway Mortal Kombat revisions and I have had a good run together, but now I think it's time we part ways.
