Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are definately the two most famous fighting games, but lets face it Mortal Kombat is better in every way. Firsst off when it comes to characters Street fighter has like 20 where Mortal Kombat has over 60. THe characters they have are even cooler, such as Onaga, who is a dragon human (Awsome) and Baraka

(Above Baraka) And If you look at street fighters Ryu and Guile,

Its not even close. (Above Guile) In Mortal Kombat you can use weapons which include Ermacs Giant Axe, Skorpions Katana, and I don't even know what Sub-Zero uses but its Awsome! In Mortal Kombat the moves are 2,096,983,125,873,900,876,456,789 times better. Where Noob Saibot can turn invisible Sub-Zero can Freezehis opponents, and Ermac can lift other characters and control them with his psycic powers, where as in street fighter you can shoot some blue thing. The things you can do at the places on Mortal Kombat are cooler like theres this one ballroom place and if you knock your opponent of the balcony they land on a shandalier spike and die, street fighter has a flat stage, and thats what all of them are.

In mortal Kombat the fatality is just awsome and every character has two, examples are Skorpion taking off his mask to reveal a flaming skull and breathes fire on you, Shang Tsung can drain your soul, street fighter none of that. Finally the Story mode in street fighter you just see story clips (And they"re Cartoons) where Mortal Kombat actually has an adventure mode, like ninja gaiden or Devil may cry so its like two games in one. (This Article is not biased i have played both these games)
