Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter

[Del Murder]

I still like Street Fighter games. I just didn't find many of the characters or moves appealing. I like freezing someone or tossing a harpoon in their chest. Marvel vs. Capcom II is my favorite fighting game ever though. The Street Fighter gameplay needs the coolness of Marvel heroes to be worthy in my opinion.

I also like the Fatalities.

Mortal Kombat. I be loving the Fatalities and the Technomusic and the crazy films with one of me favourite bucaneers, Christopher Lambart (yar, he be a Pirate for sure).

Marvel vs. Capcom II is my second favorite fighting game ever though.

I support this comment, given that Smash Bros. is the most wonderful fighting game ever.

Street Fighter isn't too difficult, but I don't play it for mastery or whatever, I rarely ever play fighting games and I don't have too much trouble with either MK or SF. I just tend to like Street Fighter more, MK seems a bit too basic after you've seen all the fatalities.

Get over here!

Mortal Kombat movie pwns Street Fighter movie.
Mortal Kombat character designs pwn Street Fighter.
Mortal kombat special moves pwn Street Fighter.

Street Fighter does have . . . something.

Funnily enough, I've tried playing a Street Fighter game with just basic combos, it doesn't work.

You can't just say "lolz u hcf hcb n u kin play", 'cause it's not true.

Which Street Fighter game were you playing? Im pretty sure I just went through Street Fighter Alpha 3 on Hard using only Ryu's Hadoken cuz i didnt want to learn anything else.

[Del Murder]

I forget about Smash, yeah that's better.

[Doomie]

Yep, Super Smash Brothers Melee pwns both. But for the poll, I'll go with SF.

[Craig]

Well, I've only Played SF2 and MK2, and SF is funner but MK has that guy that comes in and says "Toastie" when you uppercut so it wins.

[DJZen]

Since when do you have to memorize 5 pages of moves to be good at SF? Most characters don't have more than 3 specials, Charlie and Guile only have 2 (I don't count knee bazooka as a special). All those combos are just sequences of moves that work together, which you don't really have memorize more than one or two of. In Mortal Kombat, every character plays exactly the same. What's that sequence for an uppercut again? Oh yeah, the exact same one it is for everyone. In MK1 the characters all had pretty much the same specials too. Everyone had a projectile, and a forward moving attack. The only exceptions are Sonya's scissor throw and Johnny Cage's split punch. Plus, fatalities get boring. It was cool back in 1994 when violence was still a big deal. Ripping someone's head off was still novel. By MK3, everyone ripped off heads, cut people in half, burned them, or did something else generic and forgettable.

Street Fighter may catch a lot of flak for having too many Shotos, but MK has WAY too many Lin Kieu. Sub Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Rain, Ermac, Smoke... Good gravy! Give it a rest already! I suspect they only stopped becuase they ran out of colors to palatte swap.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Let's compair the number of Shotos in Street Fighter to the number of Ninjas in Mortal Krapbat

Street Fighter: Ryu, Ken, Akuma, and Sean..... that's about it (Dan's not Shotokhan, he's Saikyo)

Kombat: Scorpion, Subzero, Rain, Ermac, Reptile, Smoke, Noob Saibot, and I think there was a pink one.

mortal kombat damnit

[MecaKane]

Mortal Krapbat!
Ahahahahahaha
:laugh:

Mortal Kombat is clearly better. Street fighter is for chumps.

[Lionx]

Its all about linking into that super man...in MK i dont think theres anything close.

[Erdrick Holmes]

I also realized tha MK is "poser level". Any idiot can beat the game, even mentally handicapped kids can go through it all with no sweat. No skill is required.

And the blood is stupid as hell. You slap somebody and about a whole pint is splattered across the screen. That's just plain stupid.
