This post is so much fail I just can't handle it.
It is implied that bla bla bla.... Implied.... implied.... implied... billions souls... pussies out instead of 1v1 Onaga.... billion souls... gets bodied by Liu Kang.
Liu Kang > 1 billion souls...
Gets bodied by Deadly Alliance..
Deadly Alliance > 1 Billion Souls
Quan Chi + Shang Tsung > 1 billion souls
Quan Chi was pimp smacking Shang till Onaga arrived
Quan Chi > Shang
Qun Chi > Gets bodied by older Sub-Zero.
Older Sub-Zero > Quan Chi
Shang Tsung - gets bodied by Liu Kang.
Liu Kang > Shang
Liu almost gets bopped by older Sub Zero until the latter is hyper kombo'ed by a bucket of water.
Bucket of water = how many souls ?
See how much your logic doesn't make any sense ?? Dawg !! YKWIS.
TLDR
Just because something is implied doesn't mean it is true. On panel showings prove how much of a weakling Shao Kahn is by losing to Liu Kang and getting killed by DA. Even in his ending in MK Unchained he needs a freaking Goro with poisoned blades to help him against Onaga. So much for billions of souls, hahaha.
- Shao Kahn didn't get bodied by the DA. That was a clone, and they blindsided him.
- Quan Chi and Shang Tsung are the strongest sorcerors in the franchise. But who do you think trained Shang Tsung to get to his current level? Shao Kahn.
- Quan Chi wasn't pimp smacking Shang. But yeah, he is marginally more powerful and skilled. He's lived longer and has traveled freely to many realms for years.
- The bucket of water thing is not seen in any of the main games. And anyways, whether or not Liu Kang can manhandle one guy (which he never has against Shang or Shao Kahn), but do worse against another means nothing. It's like saying Boxer A can beat Boxer B because Boxer B couldn't beat Boxer C, who Boxer A did. Liu Kang is human, unlike the other beings on this list. It takes every fiber of his being, and all the willpower in the world, for him to beat people like Shao Kahn, Shang Tsung, and Shinnok. He's not the most powerful, but he is one of the, if not the, greatest kombatant(s).
- Shao Kahn's Deception/Unchained ending is non-canon. Also, after MK3, he was greatly weakened, both politically and physically, which is why he remained inactive during Shinnok's war, and why he needed Goro's help against Onaga. He didn't ally himself with Goro just for this though; he also wanted to reclaim the loyalty of the Shokans, who had sided with the Edenians against him.
- I'm not going to argue that it isn't debatable whether Onaga or Shao Kahn is stronger. But the last time we saw Onaga, he carried Shao Kahn off into the sky in Armageddon. But who was on top of the pyramid in MK9? Shao Kahn. And who is sitting on the throne of Outworld in Armageddon, looking like a boss while Onaga stands and watches him talk? Shao Kahn, who regained power after Onaga's defeat.
- I'm not pulling the "billions of souls" thing out of my ass. In MK3, when Shao Kahn invades Earthrealm, he claims the souls of nearly every living being of that realm instead of ruling over them. What do you think he does with these souls? Makes a glow lamp? Maybe. But in MK9, we clearly saw him transferring the souls of Shang Tsung onto Sindel, powering her to a point where she effortlessly killed almost all the good guys. I'm pretty sure he doesn't make a habit of powering up his allies over himself. And if that's the case, one has to think for second........he's been doing this for HUNDREDS OF YEARS!
TL;DR - Shao Kahn is one of the strongest characters in the series, whether you like it or not, and possibly stronger than Onaga w/o Kamidogu. If he gets beaten by a human (albeit, the strongest human in existence), despite having hundreds of years of experience and billions of souls in his possession.......well, I'm not the one who writes this stuff. Same people had Stryker beat Kintaro and Ermac.
