Kirito vs. Baraka

Not many MK Characters use swords besides Kenshi surprisingly.

And Kenshi is... Kenshi

Both 8-B and Speed Equalized

Kirito: 0

Baraka: 0

Baraka (MK9)
Say cheese.

Kirito SAO 2 Cropped
"Black" Swords Ma
 
So Baraka backscales from 8-A while Kirito backscales from 8-B+

Alright that's a pretty rough start
 
To be fair

Mortal Kombat has a really long scaling chain and Baraka is one of the lowest on the list.
 
Kenshi is the best MK character to come out of the awful 3D era, he's the best and Scorpion is overrated. Takeda is just a lesser version of his dad.

Anyways, what will Kirito do first?
 
The AP advantage of Baraka says no to that.

But I'm leaning on Kirito for being versatile, such as his speed boost. Baraka has nothing to offer here.

In character, he'll do one of the following:

1. Stand still and wait for Baraka to hit him

2. Swing his sword at Baraka

3. Start off with a basic Sword Skill like Sharp Nail or Vertical Arc.

But since Baraka is a dude who doesn't even look remotely similar to any Aincrad monster whatsoever, either 2 or 3 are more likely.
 
Eh, I'll just give it to Kirito for being more versatile than Baraka. He's the true king of jobbers, surpassing Bill Cipher and Kaguya. He should be easy to beat despite him being stronger.
 
Mid Low

Which doesn't help against being stabbed in the heart or head
 
Comparable opponents should be fine cutting into eachother. I don't think the gap is even 3x.

I mean what else does he do
 
Just gonna

post this sister site Mortal Kombat vs SAO battle
 
If baraka used his x-ray move kirito is pretty much dead. Unless he can survive getting stabbed through the neck then into the eye and through the head I don't see him winning. Plus baraka is ruthless and his normal attacks are already fatal. His throw in mk9 is literally him just stabbing you through the head with both blades.
 
You know the "My Numbers are bigger then yours" scene

Yeah Kirito can definitely survive getting stabbed through the neck, then eye, all the way through the head

Both have the same sort of AP, but Kirito is a proper swordsman
 
Why is Kirito going to singlehandesly heat something with higher as AP then the thing his squad needed help on?
 
Baraka is like, ludicrously under the 8-As and other 8-B+s though
 
At least 8-B without the + is likely more fine for him, i'll talk about it in the MK thread.
 
Speed Equalized


Well there goes Kirito's advantage. Kirito's mostly dead given the gap in striking power. Though he might pull through with Incarnation and a successful Starburst Stream if he can do it but given Baraka's unpredictability and the fact that Kirito is the type to analyse his opponents means he's at a disadvantage. Skill Connect might help considerably with this battle if Kirito can adapt to Baraka's wild and unpredictable style of combat.

That was a special case since he was on a much higher level than those guys that tried to cut him up. Baraka on the other hand would have no problem beating him since he's practically on the same level, if not stronger. And assuming that Kirito's wounds would heal the moment he gets slashed, well baraka could just stab his head and simply not remove the blade.
 
I have a question to ask, can Baraka react to the speed amplification of dual blade sword skills like starburst stream? If not that might give Kirito the chance to counter his style of combat. If not, Kirito is just screwed until he brings out Incarnation into the mix.
 
One thing I'd like to say is baraka isn't that weak

Yes he's a jobber but remember just a few tarkatans was able to O.K Jax and baraka (having killed the previous general and gaining shao khans praise) is the strongest of the race not including the hybrid mileena (which, even then, some endings show him fight with or kill her anyway)

Another thing, his spark isn't energy manipulation but rather him slamming his blades together and directing the trajectory of the fire. Which is fast af btw, wonder if we can get a calc on that ƒñö

That was OG Baraka, he was beast af and his "Likely 9-A" stats should be straight up 9-A since he killed Sub-Zero. Current Baraka isn't really impressive but MK11 will probs change that.

Could be a nice feat to calc, but I'm not sure if anyone has done this kind of calc before.
 
One problem Baraka now has is that Kirito kinda has incarnation in every VR key
