This is a tribute to the First Mortal Kombat film. Liu Kang is a great martial artist who has won every Mortal Kombat tournament he’s entered. He is also immortal and can shoot fire. His transformation into a dragon doesn’t help too much, but overall he’s a good fighter. However Ryu is the original. Ryu is arguably the best hand to hand fighter. His Hadouken is also a destructive move. Ryu wins.
