Street Fighter Vs Mortal Kombat

Which of the two fighting franchises do you prefer most? I preferred SF likely because I liked the roster of characters from dhalsim to blanka.

I would say my favourite in the series is SF Alpha 3. Nice anime inspired gfx and mechanics.

Mortal Kombat I didn't mind but I wasn't a fan of the early 3D titles I.e. Deception because I didn't like their soul calibur like side step mechanic.

What are your thoughts?

  • Street Fighter feels better as a competitive game and Mortal Kombat has always felt more button-mashy and arcade like.

    I never really liked Mortal Kombat's game play over Street Fighter because of this. I've continued with Street Fighter to modern times, but having not really cared for it back with the original trilogy, I haven't touched modern MK games much.

    I do however like the lore and story for the MK games way more than SF. I watch all the movies and anime and stuff; those are way more fun for me than the games lol

  • I always loved Tekken more, because a good match between skilled players looked like something out of a choreographed kung Fu movie.

    At least up to the PS2 era. It was also slower paced so you had to be more strategic. I always thought all the little character story movies were a lot of fun. SF feels very bare bones in comparison. But I stopped paying attention a while ago. MK had a distinguishing gimmick with the fatalities, but the general character design never meshed well with me.

  • I prefer MK because the characters are great, the lore is great, the input methods are fun and you get to kill your opponent.

    SF was fun when I was a teenager 😅

    EDIT: WTF is wrong with you people? I played SF when I was a kid because that's when it first became popular. It's not an insult, chill with the downvotes.

  • Grew up with tekken. Played MK and SF but found tekken better. Nowadays I find the ufc games to be the best fighting games. I gave up on tekken years ago after 5 or 6.
