Every street fighter game is exactly the same as the one before it. Mortal kombat actually changes with every new game. Street fighter's last game release on the Ps2 and xbox, was exactly the same as the one for super nintendo but made 3d what does that tell you about street fighter? How can you say that street fighter has more depth that mortal kombat? It has to be entirely the opposite. Street fighter gave each character the same fighting system with 3-4 moves. Mortal kombat gives each character 4-5 and sometimes even 6 different special moves. Not to mention the newer installments where each character has three different fighting styles that are all unique and based off of real fighting styles. Not to mention the bad ass fatalities. Mortal kombat even had a more in depth story for each one of it's characters. MK has more chracaters even than street fighter offers. MK slaughters street fighter in every aspect. While mortal kombat is evolving into somthing new, street fighter is still elaborating on it's arcade type fighting system. I did like street fighter vs x-men though that was nice.
because you can choose more approaches to the fighting. its not just relying on special moves like mortal kombat.. where you're constantly whoring off of leg sweeps and uppercut links.. street fighter you can go in with a light jump kick.. link it up with a light punch > light kick > med puch , med kick > hadouken (and.. if its one of the later game engines) go right into a super art... thats why SF has more depth
all of MK's "kombos" (which didnt start until mortal kombat 3) are too pre-programmed for my taste
they are both probably the two greatest fighting ever.
or better put,they set the standard for all other fighters to come.
i like sf characters better cause of the diverisity,compared to the constant run of ninjas in mk.
mk has a more dramatic and ultimatley bigger story.
when it comes to gameplay i think mks new fighting engine with the three fighting styles is awesome but i want to see if sf can do better
Are we talking about the series or individual games?
Street Fighter hasnt changed in its many incarnations.
Mortal Kombat has changed a tiny bit, but still generally the same.
So i give the nod to MK.
In terms of individual games. A tie. Both are great. MK2, which i feel is the best one, was fantastic. I love making up my own combo's by using the special movies. I didnt really play SF2 but from what I played, it was great.
You mean the same engine, just looks prettier and you can have tag team battles. Come on, nothing has changed.
Fatalities are also good when it came out for the arcade back in the day because if you fought a guy and beat him, its a huge diss to do a fatality. It adds a element of sportsmanship, especially when you did a babality.
2 in 1's are traditional street fighter gameplay.. they wont change that yet.. but things like doing a quick dash.. and even parry/air parry/crouching parry spice up the gameplay in more ways than one can imagine... plus limiting each character to 1 chosen super art creates a sense of strategy.. as soon as SF3 hit street fighter is different.. I just dont like their crossover games.. although I'd have to say street fighter alpha gave them their turning point... street fighter isnt popular for nothing
I just dont like mortal kombats preprogrammed kombos.. that shit is so old.. (since MK3) and they're trying to pawn it off as something new in deadly alliance and deception.. the only thing thats different is instead of pressing another high punch or low kick, you press a stance switch, and from there on, you just mash more low punch/high kick's.. its annoying
