Because, according to my searches, they likely have the same amount of strength and speed.

Eh, don’t think so. Andy is trained in Shiranui-ryu Ninjutsu. It’s a Ninjutsu that allows the wielder to control fire, shift at very high speeds and maneuverability. Andy can do acrobatic movements, has amazing reaction time, great at dodging and more active. King is more of a heavy hitter than a active and mobile fighter.

My top two choices now are Master Raven and Lars Alexandersson. Which one is better for Andy?

I question why you ask me how are all the characters are going to do against a certain character when you should be figuring that out for yourself.

Okay fine. Who are you going with?

I’m just saying, it seems you rely on my opinions too much. You’re allowed to form your own opinions if you want. Anyway, Master Raven. She could be pretty good.

Lars and Yoshimitsu will clap him. I'm guessing Steve or Master Raven

Yeah, thought so.

Going with Master Raven. She can be on equal terms with Andy.

No doubt about it.
