Quantcast


Game Debate to the Death!<br> Goro VS Motaro photo

Mortal Kombat, a game with legendary fighters whose stories span many years. Of all the cool characters in the series, the last bosses of the games were rarely my favorites. Instead, it was these two not-so-mini-bosses that I loved watching kids lose to in arcades over and over and over again. So. It's a simple question. Two legs, and four arms. Or two arms, and four legs. Who would win, and why?

Cast your votes, give us a reason for your decision, get some friends to vote, and check back next week for the winner. Shall we add a few weeks onto this Mortal Kombat theme? Dare we ask everyone who would win in a fight between Scorpion,  Sub-Zero, and Reptile? Smoke versus Noob Saibot? Let's hear your suggestions!

If Goro knocked him over it might be over, but even the, Motaro has a huge ass tail to help him out. Not to mention his harming hooves. My vote is for Motaro.

Horns are an underrated appendage. I'm going with Motaro.

I've never heard of motaro before, so goro gets a default. MK isn't really my bag. How about a siegfried vs. nightmare debate?

Goro...

He fights a psychological battle, we were at work and I accidentally knocked his beverage over. Woke up the next day and he killed my whole family (the entire line), we had a good laugh about it the next day over our coffee and danish.

Goro would toally win. I can just see him slapping a saddle on Motaro and riding him off into the sunset.

Goro.

The simple fact that he can give you a bear hug AND punch you in the face at the same time is more than enough.

Goro.
I think he was harder in the games... but I have no clue how that changed since the series went 3D.

Montaro. He's hung like a horse/dog/ram/thing with a metal tail. Chicks dig that.

Montaro was obviously born in the deepest depths of hell. so low that satan himself looks at Montaro and says "wtf is that thing! it's scary!". i mean seriously, this thing would look jesus in the eye and he would die. and never rise again because of Montaro's grotesque appeal.

Montaro all the way.

I like Goro better, but I think in REAL LIFE Motaro has an advantage w/tail + horns.
HighVoltage's Avatar - Comment posted on 04/24/2007 22:02

And damnit people. It's Motaro, not Montaro. Normally I would ignore it as a mistake by somebody, but way too many "gamers" are making the mistake.

Motaro is less lethal than a declawed kitten after being slipped a roofie. When your Achilles' heel is the jump kick you lose a lot of your toughness and street cred, ya heard. I vote for GORO.

Goro has more opposable thumbs. He could just grab Motaro's horns with two arms and then poke out his eyes with the other two. After that he could have his way with him.

Goro is the top of the crop. The end.

Motaro would win. he is immune to a good amount of moves in the game, and so I don't think he'd get hit by the teleport stomp. That move Motaro picks you up and punches you in the face is unblockable too I think, and that's vicious.

Chuck Norris can throw hadoukens with his beard and kamehameha's with his roundhouse kicks.

Motaro is a pussy that is easily jump kicked to death.

Goro ftw!

Goro would smash Motaro. He is surprisingly nimble for a fucking huge ass monster. Tail sweep just wouldn't cut it.

How about next week we do a cross-franchise battle, like Ryu vs Sub Zero or something?

also I like Rezbit's suggestion. It would be cool to have a debate over the best character in a fighting game or something of the sort.

I mean... Also, Goro would totally win. He has for arms, Motaro has four legs... That's one for each to rip off.

Goro no doubt. The man has four fucking arms, and he is like nine feet all. I would shit my pants if I ran into a guy like that.

Goro.

Hold you with two arms punch you with two arms and the teleport stomp. And sure Motaro could block a lot of characters moves but no other character is a beast like Goro.

Since Motaro is part horse, can't he, like, crap when he walks? That's an awesome skill. I'll go with him instead of the multitasker.
