What if the disciplined world of Street Fighter collided with the brutal universe of Mortal Kombat? While Capcom’s flagship fighters play by the rules of honor and technique, NetherRealm’s roster is all about blood, brutality, and Fatalities.

But let’s be honest — there are a handful of Street Fighter characters who could absolutely hold their own in Outworld. These aren’t just fan-fueled dream matchups — they fit. Whether it’s because of their darker origins, savage fighting styles, or mysterious powers, these 10 fighters could easily cross over into Mortal Kombat territory… and maybe even thrive there.

1. Akuma

Why he fits: Akuma already feels like a Mortal Kombat character. He’s got the demonic presence, the brutal moveset, and a total disregard for mercy. His Raging Demon could easily be turned into a Fatality, complete with skull-shattering slow-mo.
MK Role: NetherRealm could play up his Satsui no Hado as a corrupting power on par with Quan Chi’s sorcery or the power of the One Being.

2. Juri Han

Why she fits: Juri’s unhinged personality, sadistic tendencies, and raw violence make her a natural fit. She’s a taekwondo master with a cybernetic eye and a love for inflicting pain. Sound familiar?
MK Role: She could rival Mileena or Tanya in brutality. Her Feng Shui Engine could be reimagined as a dark power source with horrifying consequences.

3. Sagat

Why he fits: Towering and ruthless, Sagat would be Mortal Kombat’s Muay Thai nightmare. With his brutal Tiger Knee and fierce personality, he’d feel right at home standing toe-to-toe with Kotal Kahn or Shao Kahn.
MK Role: His rivalry with Ryu could easily mirror the deep vendettas MK thrives on. Give him a Fatality where he smashes someone’s skull with a Tiger Uppercut? Chef’s kiss.

4. M. Bison (Dictator)

Why he fits: M. Bison is power-hungry, sinister, and already a world-dominating tyrant with psychic abilities. Swap “Psycho Power” with “Soul Magic” and he’s basically the MK villain we never got.
MK Role: Bison could fill the power vacuum left by Shang Tsung or Shinnok. Imagine him using Psycho Crusher to obliterate someone into the Netherrealm.

5. Vega (Claw)

Why he fits: Vega is beautiful, bloodthirsty, and batshit. He’s got a claw, a mask, a superiority complex, and a ballet of violence that would make even Baraka raise an eyebrow.
MK Role: A Fatality involving his cage-fighting roots and some skin-peeling antics? Nightmare fuel.

6. Necalli

Why he fits: Necalli is already monstrous. With his demonic transformation, dreadlocks from hell, and hunger for warrior souls, he practically is a forgotten MK boss.
MK Role: As a primal force, he’d be the chaotic wildcard — think a cross between Reptile and Onaga, only with more growling.

7. Seth

Why he fits: A synthetic being that copies moves from other fighters? That screams “Kombat Kameo”. Seth’s body-horror aesthetic and spinning limbs would make for killer finishers.
MK Role: Seth would be an ideal rival for characters like Geras or Cyrax — blending artificial intelligence with sheer savagery.

8. C. Viper

Why she fits: Viper is tech-heavy and high-octane, which makes her the perfect rival to MK’s cyber ninjas. Think Sektor meets Black Widow, with a touch of Iron Man.
MK Role: Her gadgets could be reworked as cybernetic implants. Flame knuckles, shock boots, and aerial combos would make her an exciting guest pick.

9. Gouken

Why he fits: Gouken is a wise old warrior — but give him a dark turn and you’ve got a deadly fusion of Raiden’s mysticism and Scorpion’s fury.
MK Role: Let’s say he falls into the Netherrealm and gets corrupted. Suddenly, his spiritual ki becomes a tool of vengeance. Boom. Fatality potential unlocked.

10. Gill

Why he fits: Gill is the flashy, godlike ruler of the Illuminati (no, not that Illuminati), and he’s literally half fire, half ice. Sound familiar? Yeah — Sub-Zero and Scorpion would have thoughts.
MK Role: His dual-element powers could make for some absolutely wild Fatalities. Imagine freezing your opponent solid… and then immolating the frozen corpse in a divine firestorm? Mortal Kombat magic.

Final Thoughts: From Shoryukens to Fatalities

Let’s face it — we’re not getting Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat anytime soon (as much as we dream of it). But adding a few Street Fighter characters to Mortal Kombat’s guest roster would be a perfect blend of fantasy and fan service. With the right visual tweaks and a bit more edge, these fighters could feel right at home tearing out spines and delivering iconic one-liners.

If MK12 or the next Kombat Pack wants to throw fans a curveball, Capcom’s warriors of the world are more than ready to answer the call.
