Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter


Let's start a poll. Which game did you prefer?

You don't have to ask me twice.

Someone asks me which I like better between Mortal Kombat & Street Fighter, I definitely say I like Mortal Kombat better.

Here's a good 1.....Do you know what (fighting game franchise) I like better than Street Fighter, but still prefer Mortal Kombat over it?

That game is......Killer Instinct (which is in my opinion way better than Street Fighter, but not too far behind Mortal Kombat).

Killer Instinct's controls are very similar to that of Street Fighter (6 action buttons, 3 punch buttons & 3 kick buttons), but like Mortal Kombat, it has blood squirting as well as (both fighter & various arena) finishers.

The funny part is that some people (who only know Mortal Kombat and/or Street Fighter) just look at me with that "WTF?" look when I mention Killer Instinct. Some of these people grew up on Super Nintendo.

Other people get Killer Instinct though.

In other words, compared to Mortal Kombat & Killer Instinct.......

Street Fighter can SUCK IT!

I'm OK at Street Fighter

Between us, I'm better at Street Fighter II: Turbo & Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers than I am Street Fighter II & Super Street Fighter IV.

Street Fighter Alpha 2? Sometimes I'm OK, other times I can suck.

I respect your opinion about liking Street Fighter better, but I still prefer Mortal Kombat & Killer Instinct over Street Fighter.

There are (fighting) games I like Street Fighter better than.

Such as....

(In NO particular order)

-Primal Rage
-Super Smash Bros (just Melee & Brawl, never played the original)
-Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Tournament Fighters only, never played Mutant Melee or Smash Up)
-The Simpsons Wrestling
-Soul Calibur (IV only, never played I, II or III)

FAVORITE

-Mortal Kombat

-Killer Instinct

-Street Fighter

-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

-Super Smash Bros

-Soul Calibur

-Primal Rage

-Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi

-The Simpsons Wrestling

LEAST FAVORITE

As far as fighting game franchises like Godzilla (Destroy All Monsters: Melee & any others), SNK & Tekken go, I've never played any of those games.

I've seen quite a few Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter fights on YouTube (in most of them, Street Fighter won) & I used to think that Mortal Kombat always lost to Street Fighter because Street Fighters were just so damn cheap.

But it's a matter of Strength (represented by Mortal Kombat) vs Speed (represented by Street Fighter).

-Strength may be somewhat slower, but they do a better deal of damage.

-Speed may be somewhat weaker & do less damage, but they're faster.

Mortal Kombat. I'm not that fond of the style of Street Fighter.
