Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat

hey guys, so i was having this fight with my friend and he argured that more people like mortal kombat better than street fighter. so i wanted to see for sure how many people like these games. now im talking about the series as a whole, not only the recent games that came out.

so which series do you guys like more street fighter or mortal kombat

thanks for answering!!! :D

MK all the way!! Been playin' since i was seven years old, hahah. The Street Fighter games were always boring to me for some reason, and a lot harder too!

Overall I like Street Fighter better. As for the newest ones I like the new Mortal Kombat over SSFIV.

Street Fighter > Kasual Kombat

To me it's Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat, without a doubt. It's a lot more down-to-earth than SF, plus it's what I grew up on

Mortal Kombat by far.

I pick Street Fighter Vs Mortal Kombat.

SF4 for sure

I like both games and I grew up on both. But if you're a hardcore fighter then definitely Street Fighter, if not then Mortal Kombat for sure since Street Fighter IV's combat system is alot more deeper than Mortal Kombats.

How dare you say such things, TAKE THAT BACK.

If you wanna be able to play mk you'll need to spend hours master and making combos for character/s. My special characters are scorpion, kung lou and liu kang.

Blazblue > every other fighter

(but to actually answer your question i say SF)

I can't speak for the newest MK or SF but i'm gonna have to go with SF. Should have done a poll, it'd have been more fun =P

MORTAL KOMBAT!! HANDS DOWN!

Satisfying CRUNCH and PUNCH combos, Gore, Amazing Universe, Variety of Characters, Boss/'Ultimate Characters' accolades go to

Mortal Kombat.

Online Competitive Arena, Replayability, Special Moves, Round-Winning Satisifaction, Difficulty (Online), Fun accolades go to.......*Drum Roll*

Mortal Kombat. (Ha! You thought I was gonna say Street Fighter, lulz!)

Aside from a bigger pro-circuit competitive scene, Street Fighter isn't as fun as Mortal Kombat.....that's just my opinion.

Mortsl Kombat. Too many Ryu clones in SF (less character diversity).

SF by far. It just kills MK in terms of depth and complexity and is overall much more fun especially when it comes to competitive play. It has classic characters great move sets and great graphics when it's been both 2d and 3d. Aslo SSF4's online is solid and general as lag free as possible.

MK is fun but it's never been the deepest fighter and is just more simple in general which i guess so many people are attracted to it. For me though thats a bad thing, fighting games need to be deep if they are to be played past the launch period. There's a reason games like MVC2 and SF2/3 are still being played today. It does have classic but imo corny characters although that is part of its charm. The new MK does deliver more on the SP front than most fighters but fighters are meant to be played with others either online or off not by yourself imo. Once you beat the SP where do you go from there?

I can def see more people leaning towards MK because it's the easier therefore more enjoyable game in this day and age. Some people might just enjoy the gore factor though i guess. That's just my opinion of course but in the end i play both because i love fighting games.

lol seriously. You must not have played much MK over the years. Last time i checked MK had more palatte swaps than anyone else. Granted overtime they have come to play somewhat different but so have SF's.

for example

scorpion, sub zero, reptile, smoke, noob saibot, chameleon, rain , and ermac were all palatte swaps at one point with many similar moves.

and those are just the male ninjas by the way. I could make a list just as long for the female ninja's, cyborgs, shokan's and whatever else thats in MK.

Sf has had Ryu, ken, Akuma ,and maybe Dan? But they looked different and their move sets do vary just like MK.

That maybe true but there is too many shoto fighters in Street Fighter Dan, Goken, Akuma, Ryu, Ken and Sakura. That's a good chunk of the roster the ninja's may have looked the same but nowadays they don't have any special moves in common. With Street Fighter you can basically use the same strategies with each shoto fighter and be decent.

So out of 35 6 has a similar fighting style. Contrary to popular belief Ken and Ryu play differently from each other but ill give you them. Akuma no way he has a way different move set from them and Gouken is really nothing like them at all even when it comes you his fire balls. Sakura is also pretty different as well. They do play differently from each other and require different tactics.

Lets say you take out those 6 you still have 29 other people to choose from who are radically different from each other if shotos aren't your thing which is still more then MK9 has. I just find it hard for someone to cite Shotos as a reason when with Mk has the same stuff going on with it. Many of the characters have extremely similar teleport moves and many have projectiles which seems to be the major shoto complaint.

Street Fighter because the Answer lies in the heart of battle.

Both are good but the demo of MK was fantasic

I always prefered Mortal Kombat!!

although my favorite fighting game of all time is samurai showdown 2

Killer Instinct Gold>All

Except for maybe Tekken.

Street Fighter

Mortal Kombat has superior characters and a fantasy setting.

Street Fighter is superior as a GAME (i.e. gameplay).

That said, as far as THIS generation goes, Super Street Fighter IV completely and utterly demolishes Mortal Kombat (2011). The former is the highest-rated fighting game of all time.

I don't mind MK9, but they didn't get the multiplayer right so to be hoenst I'm hopping on back to Street Fighter. Currently playing SF3:Third Strike on PC, and waiting for 3SO and SSF4:AE on PS3.

Street Fighter: 3rd Strike is my favourite fighting game of all time, but I grew up with Mortal Kombat III.

Seems I like the 3rd edition of games?!

Mortal Kombat all the way. I got to love the characters and also the overall feeling of the game.

I like Mortal Kombat for the Over the topness about that series. But as a fighting game. Street Fighter is better.
