You're saying that because Sub Zero fought MK opponents he's better... "Has Ryu ever fought ______ (insert random MK fighter) ? NO!?! Game Over!!"

That's absolutely not a factor in this fight, and there is a damned good reason for it. I could, logically, say the same for Sub Zero, right? Has Sub Zero ever fought... say... Blanka? No? Game over, Ryu pwns him.

The reason you can't pick a random character (bosses included) and say that his experience fighting the aforementioned character makes him stronger than the opponent is because we haven't established which game has stronger characters.

It may be true that any random MK fighter might get his everloving ass smashed by any random SF fighter. The opposite may be true. The fact of the matter is that what we are arguing is a specific example of this question. Therefore, it doesn't matter who Sub Zero has fought before. Ryu is a new type of combatant.

Go Ryu!

What is it they say about silence being golden?
