Mortal Kombat vs Tekken

[Comet]

Which series of games do YOU think is generally more enjoyable?

[Psychotic]

Tekken. A thousand times Tekken.

[DK]

Tekken so much it's almost cruel.

[Roto13]

I'm not a big Tekken fan, but it's so much better than Mortal Kombat it's barely even fair to compare them.

[Laddy]

I have hemophobia, so the deeper and more serious Tekken gets my vote and stomach.

[TyphoonThaReapa]

A'yo, Tekken 100%. If this was a poll, Mortal Kombat would be shamed there son...:rolleyes2

[Wolf Kanno]

I'll be different and say Mortal Kombat, if only cause MKII is enjoyable in an idiotic elementary school way and then the rest of series got decidedly worse from then on. Tekken to me, started bad and just got worse with each new installment. Of course my real opinion is to not even bother with either of them.

[Vyk]

Don't particularly like either. There's better fighting games out there. Kinda odd to choose those two to go head to head though

MK movies > Tekken movie

...but this is about the games! I like playing Tekken more than Mortal Kombat, but I've always had more respect for MK because it was like, the second game I ever played ever and it had such a huge impact on the gaming industry what with prompting the ESRB and all S:

[Kenshin IV]

You're talking about two fighting series that have almost nothing in common, so it's really hard to compare. To give it a shot, though, Mortal Kombat hit it's peak with the second game, while Tekken's really only sub-par outing was the fourth game. So if you wanna go by consistency, I guess Tekken. Although I had far more hours put in MK2.

But really, The King of Fighters owns them all.

[Momiji]

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. Tekken.

[Lionx]

If i had to play one of them i would honestly say Tekken, it has a huger competition base, and is way more competitive in general(gamewise and community).

[Markus. D]

Tekken is better in every single way.

[Dreddz]

At this point in time, Tekken by miles. Its funny how Mortal Kombat slowly went downhill while Tekken slowly got better. I hope MK VS DC makes people take Mortal Kombat seriously again.

[Big D]

I've played a lot of Tekken and very little Mortal Kombat, so it's not totally fair for me to comment. But from what I've experienced, I like Tekken a whole lot more. Accessible to new players yet complex to master; a good range of characters, and nicely animated action.
Some genuinely interesting and fun personalities among the lineup, too, which helps a lot.

No 'fights to the death' or bloody disemboweling, which helps to make it more lightweight for some people.
