[3-3-0] homander - TV Show vs Mortal Kombat

[O0DSF0o]

I have never watched the boys

Equal Speed, Both 8-A, battle takes place in Vought Tower

Homander (TV Show): 3 (Fallen_Angelicx, Hellbeast, TheGatto)
Homander (MK): 3 (Nonynho, Arkansalter2, Funniest_person_alive)
Homander (Tie): 0​

I feel like Mortal Kombat Homelander unironically skill stomps his TV counterpart.

Doesn’t show Homelander have a huge edge in AP? MK upscales 391 tons of tnt while show scales to 800 Kilotone.

So Homie is slightly over double his game counterpart’s strength.

 

[Fallen_Angelicx]

TV Homie is everything original and better the Imposter is not, except for skill. Skill isn't enough, and Rather the skill difference doesn't make up for the abilities and superiority in stats, the original has

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

A 2× AP difference is not that big of an obstacle to overcome. Also also, doesn't Mortal Kombat have like canonical Super Armor when using special moves or was that just a thing for Mortal Kombat X?

I don’t even think he’s that skilled since the page basically lists nothing for it and his AP shows him just one shotting Liu Kang, not having an extended battle with him.

He’ll, I’d argue Showlander has better skill feats since he could compete with the trained killers Billy Butcher and Soldier Boy

A 2× AP difference is not that big of an obstacle to overcome.

N buts it’s not great when the character has no real ways to overcome those obstacles. Game Honelander has no real hax or skill keeping him in the game against him it just better in every way.

Also also, doesn't Mortal Kombat have like canonical Super Armor when using special moves or was that just a thing for Mortal Kombat X?

Nope, I think WOG alluded to blood magic keeping them in the game but that’s not really referenced anywhere and it’s not on the profiles in any case.

And Homelandsr isn’t even from the MKU so why would he have it?

Joke aside: actually having martial arts skill is a good enough feat that could possibly fetch a win, indeed

See, Showlander's used to just beat his enemies to a pulp instantly, or, more usually, be overconfident in his powers and try torturing and demoralizing his opponents due to huge ego yadayadayada
Like, how is that not going to work, since it does with people far more skilled than Showlander could dream of being, and diminish a bit of Showlander's morale, destabilizing him and making his dad be correct about him (lol)?

• Dirty Trick: Homelander puts his hand up, where he parries any punch-based Basic Attack or Special Attack, including Jump Attacks. When parrying the opponent, Homelander will catch their fist, then kick them away, dealing damage.

Don't think there'll be much to be argued more than what happened, so count me in for MKlander

Doesn't have Martial Arts. Doesn't mean He is unskilled. He should be able to keep up because he keeps up with people who indeed have martial arts capabilities. TV Homelander should be able to keep up and somewhat fight back. It isn't even noted what kind of martial arts MK Homelander uses, its just there which is pretty strange to assume its even remotely notable. This combined with 2x AP and im guessing slightly higher LS due to scaling to a higher value in Class K. TV Homie shouldn't be getting outclassed in any point. He has a notable advantage. Its very funny how other choose to believe TV Homelander is some slacky in combat. He isn't a Skill God but he isn't your average Joe either. Took part in a 3v1 against actually skilled combatants.

Like, how is that not going to work, since it does with people far more skilled than Showlander could dream of being, and diminish a bit of Showlander's morale, destabilizing him and making his dad be correct about him (lol)?

Parrying attacks from someone 2x stronger is pretty funny. They aren't one shot but with each parry, MK Homelander is getting overpowered. This is pretty bad for the imposter.


And here comes the part we all love, what's the Imposter doing against 3500° laser? He is Homelander, albeit an Imposter and does not have the same heat value and he for sure doesn't have any heat resistance. So hes getting sniper and killed in one go.

YOU KNOW HOW LITTLE THAT NARROWS IT DOWN

Joke aside: actually having martial arts skill is a good enough feat that could possibly fetch a win, indeed

I mean, what skills though? The page lists nothing of real note and, aside from
The gameplay counter (are we seriously arguing a reversal scales Homelander to Liu Kang in skills?) could easily just be a showing of LS (likely is if it’s a shove) rather then any deeper execution of technique

The only time we see MK Lander seriously fight he’s also resorting to a stamp gap to oneshot his opponent and none of his moves illustrate real technique on his part.

Like, how is that not going to work, since it does with people far more skilled than Showlander could dream of being, and diminish a bit of Showlander's morale, destabilizing him and making his dad be correct about him (lol)?

Again this assumes Mk John can adequately abuse this against a character whose easily twice his superior in AP

You’re also ignoring the HV, show has superior Heat Vision capable of burning people doable of withstanding blue Oxy flames, something we know John will spam at times

Showlander wins

 

[Nonynho]

He isn't a Skill God but he isn't your average Joe either. Took part in a 3v1 against actually skilled combatants.

Did those 3 skilled combatants acually had a chance of beating him with their APs?

Parrying attacks from someone 2x stronger is pretty funny.

And doable too

YOU KNOW HOW LITTLE THAT NARROWS IT DOWN

lmfaooooo that's the idea lol

I mean, what skills though? The page lists nothing of real note

Him actually competing with characters who also have it, including one-shotting Liu Kang?? Having techniques that connect with other techniques in order to defeat opponents in a more certain way?

Again this assumes Mk John can adequately abuse this against a character whose easily twice his superior in AP

Parrying is something reliant on skill more than strength in most cases exactly for this reason, to deal with stronger opponents

 

[Fallen_Angelicx]

Two of them scaled to the same value and can harm him lol. If anything, its impressive of a feat that his rage made him power up that strong and that fast. He's was stronger than them but not by much since they all held him down.

And doable too

It is, but he won't be able to parry all of his attack. He tries parrying his fist the 6th time and Homie kicks him horizontally straight to the stomach, sending him flying.

Considering one of them

• can bruise John with his strikes
• draw blood from him when sufficiently angered
• is someone John himself questions he can even beat
• is stated in Behind the Scenes material as being the first real threat to John’s life

I’d say so, especially since it’s two characters relative to each other with military training

Him actually competing with characters who also have it, including one-shotting Liu Kang?? Having techniques that connect with other techniques in order to defeat opponents in a more certain way?

One shorting does not require skill unless you also think Superman is >>> Batman tho. That’s the only real combat feat we have for him and, unless there’s something in the intros I’m missing, I remain unconvinced. Especially when the page does not even bother to name skill feats

Parrying is something reliant on skill more than strength in most cases exactly for this reason, to deal with stronger opponents

Except as demonstRated by his ending, Homelander is the stronger opponent so no

There are people who also can beat God Liu Kang in the universe. To not torture yourself, check Akain's video on MK11 Aftermath for more details on why he's kinda fraud

Why do i point this out? Because Homelander can't dream about beating those like Sindel or even God Shang Tsung who matched Liu lol

Not with a oneshot tho lmao
And Liu got stronger for the final battle, fuelling himself further with the Jinsei before defeating empowered Cetrion and Kronika, before then baking eons to master his powers

Why do i point this out? Because Homelander can't dream about beating those like Sindel or even God Shang Tsung who matched Liu lol

By Homelander are Roy referring tk Showlander?

 

[Nonynho]

Was mainly talking about MKlander, but i can guarantee you that Showlander is also not able to beat them

 

[TheGatto]

First of all Goatlander is my goat here its full of disgusting starlighters.


Parrying someone who's about 2x stronger and can also spam heat rays isn't that easy (Goatlander heatvision is also kinetic not only heat). Plus, Homelander from the series is very aggressive and flies more.

My vote goes to Showlander, it burns my heart to see homelander lose and win at the same time its too conflictual for me i just cant.

 

[Arkansalter2]

I'll go with MKlander. Because DIDN'T THE MAN KILL FIRE GOD LIU KANG? Who is like a bajillion times more skilled than anyone in The Boys verse?
Yall are missing that completely.Additionally, MKlander literally fights everyone and their momma in MK1, who are also more skilled than anyone in The Boys verse.
Easily going with MKlander, low-mid diff.

Yeah but Mklander speed blitzed Liu Kang, and surpised attacked him, he didnt outskilled him in a fair fight he one shotted him with a speed blitz looks more like a gap in strenght, speed and durability more then anything i dont think it should count as a skill?

My second point still stands. MKlander can legit block lasers and has martial arts which makes him automatically more skilled than Showlander.
