I agree. Street Fighter is a more technical fighter and I've played it since I was a child. Mortal Kombat was a fair amount of fun however all the mechanics are totally laggy and the stroyline is truly weak. If you look at these scenarios SF comes out on top.

Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat- MK (SF 1 is...well..it's SF 1)

Street Fighter II vs MK II- Street Fighter II not saying MK II is bad it's just SF II is the father of all fighters.

Street Fighter Alpha 2 vs Mortal Kombat 3- I'm sorry but MK 3 is pure garbage! I'd pick Guy over Stryker any day.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 vs Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3- The only redeeming factor in UMK 3 is the roster and it's mostly ninja color swaps while SFA 3 has the best roster of all the SF's and is seen as one of the best SF's

Street Fighter EX vs Mortal Kombat 4- Uh...

Cannon Spike vs MK Special Forces- I'd say Cannon Spike for the win! Cammy in rollerblades. drool...(However, it a broader scale...both games suck.)

Street Fighter III Double Impact vs Mortal Kombat Gold- Double Impact wins. 2 games in one and you get to see all that cool SF III New Generation and W-Impact art. MK Gold is just a port of MK 4 with Baraka in it.

Street Fighter EX 3 vs Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance- Uh...

Street Fighter III Third Strike vs. Mortal Kombat Deception- Hard to compare the two, they are both really good just Street Fighter III 3S is a 2D game which has the control and the feel of a 3D game. It gives a broader experience on 2D gaming what with parrying and such (e.g. Daigo Umehara) and how the scales can be tipped with skill and timing. Deception has good visuals but lacks substance to it. The controls are clunky and remind me of Virtua Fighter at moments. I own both but I prefer 3S.

Mortal Kombat Armageddon vs Nothing- No SF4 as of yet to compare and MKA is a really good game. I made Shin Gouki with the character creation so even without a game to compare to I still pick SF over MK.

Sorry to go on for so long but that's my long ass opinion. heh. sorry.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
