I think fighting games are starting to sell out. I mean with Soul Calibur adding Star Wars characters and MK vs DCU trying to copy Marvel vs Capcom I just hope Street Fighter and Tekken don't do the same.

Um, X-Men vs. Street Fighter was one of the first cross-over titles, and Heihachi was in the PS2 version of Soul Calibur II. ;) Yoshimitsu's been there since SC1, too.

Good point I forgot about those. Oh yeah, Link and Spawn were for the other systems, respectively. But still lol

Don't think this is a big problem.

Soul Calibur's star wars addition was just....weird....I think everybody knew how weird it was and I don't think it went over that well. That fact it wasn't entirely successful, I think, goes towards discouraging it in future.

MK vs DC, imo, is an abomination and is really nothing more than a mark of desperation for a dying series trying to stay relevant than it is anything else.

That said, fighting games have a long history of crossovers. Marvel vs Capcom for instance, was a great game, and is probably what MK vs DC had in mind. The King of Fighters series is purely cross over. that said, Tekken and Street Fighter haven't had a new game in a while and are old franchises with a lot of pride. I'm pretty sure they're safe, especially how SC's Star Wars didn't go over too well.

correct me if i am wrong, but wasnt DC not the first choice for this MK crossover?

you know you are destined to fail if you have to settle for another company to make your game work.

KOF wasn't really pure crossover; they were ALL SNK characters from SNK's canon. (Which ties into the Street Fighter Canon too) The games crossed, but never companies. (Well CvS and SvC were crosses)
