In my mind, Street Fighter 2 is always going to be the classic 2D fighter; it’s branching evolution into the Alpha/Zero and crossover series helping to further enhance the reputation of the franchise.
Hype around MK centered around the blood, the fatalities (Finish him!) and the secret characters etc. Early on, ideas like endurance round, and mirror matches (originally lacking in SF2) helped to differentiate the series. My personal beef with the series was having to use a specific button for block –it was just something I never got used to. For me, MK II was probably the highlight of the series: the digitized graphics were revolutionary for the time, but it hasn’t aged well. While it had some original characters (Shang Tsung), and some signature moves (Scorpion, SubZero) were totally different from anything SF2 offered, most of it is forgettable.
