     Chishio No Me 
  • We get our first taste of action, in chapter 3, with a very well choreographed fight between Asuka and Mika which displays the skills of both fighters quite well. Mika manages to edge out, being able to out-maneuver Asuka and grapple her, but both give it their all.
  • Raven's introduction in chapter 4 is certainly this, as he easily defeats a group of terrorists without getting a scratch on himself.
  • Ashrah gets a pretty impressive introduction, having all ready defeated Smoke before managing to stab Noob Saibot through the chest. Thus, she finally purifies her soul and is able to escape the Netherrealm.
  • Shortly after joining Shao Kahn, Ivy has an encounter with one of his generals Tanya. Not impressed by the swordswoman, Tanya attempts to intimidate her, only to find herself wrapped up by Ivy's Snake Sword and then put in her place by a cold death threat from her. Despite being the new blood, Ivy quickly establishes herself as on par, with the Outworlders.
  • Chapter 12 marks the official start of the Tournament, and with it our first fights. And even though all the matches are against minor Original Characters, many of them manage to put up a decent fight against them before being defeated.
    • The first match is Kira vs Pandora. A short but surprisingly tense fight, as both ladies manage to fight on equal footing, with Pandora using a smoke bomb and hit & run tactics, to gain an edge on Kira, before she gets the upper hand, and proceeds to brutally decimate her, for most of the fight.
    • Despite being at a disadvantage, and constantly hit on, Wagner manages to defeat his opponent and knock her unconscious.
    • Maki meanwhile is forced to fight the creepy & perverted Master Christopher, who uses some very unnerving grapples. Needless to say, it is very satisfying, watching Maki knock him out, leaving him to the mercy of a disgusted Shang Tsung.
    • On the villains' side of things, Vega battle the female ninja Jackala, leading to a rather exciting battle between his claws & her kunais. Ultimately Vega wins, by means of a non-lethal Death of a Thousand Cuts, and earns himself a spot as one of Shao Kahn's generals.
  • Chapter 14, starts with a fight between Seong Mi-Na & an Original Character Midnight. It goes from a pretty even staff match, until both of them are disarmed and forced into a fist fight, in which Midnight clearly has the upper hand. When it seems she about to lose, until Mi-Na uses gets a hold of his staff, gaining the upper hand and allowing her, to trick him into losing.
    • That same chapter, we get a rather interesting, Fish out of Water fight as Guile fights a reptilian opponent Muscana. Having only fought humans up until this point, Guile struggles to keep up with her and her superior agility. He ends up taking a lot of damage, before finally winning the match, with a Summersault Shell.
  • Surprisingly, during his first match, Dan Hibiki not only manages to put up a good fight, but actually winning it, despite a few mistakes.
  • Xianghua's victory over the sorceress Alora, is worth mentioning. While the two are equal in terms of swordplay, Alora's fire/ice magic leaves Xianghua, at a severe disadvantage. But through some luck, she's able to defeat her opponent and move forward. Though on a bit of a bitter note.
  • Sakura manages to win her first fight, against a shokan. Despite being out of her element, and taking a bit of a beating, she's able to knock the outworld creature unconscious.
  • Akuma makes his entry into the tournament, by interrupting one of the matches, effortlessly defeating both of them and killing a handful of Shao Kahn's guards, including destorying one of them with the Raging Demon.
  • By Chapter 21, we're finally ouf of the OC fights, are have moved onto fights involving characters from the different franchises. Our first examples, Kitana vs Maki, Sonya vs Ken, Sindel vs Mileena & Yun vs Anna are quite enjoyable fights, with a great display of the fights skills & abilities, along with some good banter.
  • Chapter 22, gives us the battle of the ninja cyborgs, as Smoke & Yoshimitsu face off with each other, starting off with a match of their weapons, before moving onto a more proper fistfight, with both of them evading, outmaneuvering each other, all the while trying to come up on top. It all makes for a fun match.

  • Ivy taking on Reiko, Skarlet & Kunimistsu on her own, and even managing to land in a few good hits and stay up, long enough for Scorpion to arrive and fight off the rest. A really great display of the woman's swordsmanship and fighting prowess.
