I say Mortal Kombat. 90% of the Street Fighter games are the same thing.

It's true, but I don't think that makes Mortal Kombat better for having failed in one area and needing to branch out into others. That is why they changed the format, you know, because the straight up fighters weren't selling, and they didn't want to just abandon the franchise.
Street Fighter is pretty much the same in terms of the barest basics, but mechanics change from game to game, so playing SFIII ryu you might understand the moves from having played him before, but that doesn't mean you'd be able to use him
well.
Plus I think Street Fighter has the advantage for having stayed in 2d (with the exception of EX), and for having a much more fluid fighting system. Any time I played MK, I always felt like hit detection and combos in general were kind of a crapshoot. Given, the last Mortal Kombat game I played was on N64, but after that I just didn't feel like it was worth my time.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
