Talk:Reptile VS Riptor/@comment-28661267-20160331014944/@comment-28970831-20160401030758

The logic wasn't really the fact that Reptile lost to a cop, its that more or less Reptile is one buttmonkey of the many in the MK universe like Baraka. And the thing about Stryker beating Reptile is that an average cop beat a reptilian ninja and an every day action star and martial artist beat him (and may I remind you without that green aura he has) as well. He has around four or more canon losses while Riptor only has one against TJ.

Also TJ Combo, like Jax, has cybernetic enhancements in his arms the same kind of cybernetics as Riptor and he was barely able to take her down as he ended up in the hospital. Not only that but in the recent 2013 incarnation of TJ, he isn't your average boxer at all like the aforementioned cybernetics and being the undisputed heavyweight champion because when he later did rip out the cybernetics his arms healed rapidly because UltraTech messed around with his DNA.

Stryker was an average cop who beat a suppose professional killer with ease and no grave wounds. Not to mention that I used both KI 2013 and the original 2 which are different in canon, but hey I used the original and alternate timeline for Reptile too.

In a nutshell: TJ Combo>Johnny Cage & Stryker

And just so you know, I think it can go either way due to lack of any real feats for Riptor but she could scale to the rest of the KI-verse which could make her around building but that's a stretch and also because of the not so impressive feats of Reptile.
