I think Ryu and Ken vs Sub-Zero and Scorpion is a really bad idea. Fictional vs Fictional isn't necessarily bad. And even video game vs video game could be pulled off, if they were from opposite genres of video games.

The problem with Sub Zero and Scorpion vs Ryu and Ken is the same problem with, for example, a soccer player vs a soccer player. Having Scorpion and Sub-Zero in a battle already sets up the problem that most of the audience hasn't played MK games, and wouldn't understand any of the references. But that would still be fine, if they could come up with an opponent that would include another large chunk of their audience. But the small population of people who understand Ryu and Ken are the same small population of people who understand Sub-Zero and Scorpion.
