That's because I do. I assumed I was being lumped in as liking a game because I think the characters are more powerful. It tends to actually be the opposite.

Means bullshit.

Why don't we just compromise and admit that both Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat have equally awful characters. That way no ones happy.

Superior characters =/= more powerful. I'd like to point that out.

I like most of MK's characters more, tbh. Which is odd because most of them reek of weabooery, but then so do SF's. Except like, Zangief.

Because jax makes up for all the weeabooness, ALL of it.

1. That describes Moo more than that peon.

2. One cannot easily ignore Kratos.

3. I honestly don't know where you got that idea from when his post does not indicate that. Saying a character is superior does not mean strength wise. Though concerning strength I do hear more about Street Fighter than MK.

!. Moo fears me. I can just tell.

2.You knew what I meant.

3.Superior can mean a whole slew of things. I am sure he also believes street fighter characters are more powerful as well.

No, Ken and Akuma are lame as ****. But I'd take either over any of those MK people you name.

Fei Long. And no. Liu Kang and Fei Long are knockoffs of Bruce Lee, of which Fei Long is the better.

Way to say the entire cast of Street Fighter is unoriginal based on the false claim that Fei Long is a copy of Liu Kang. I forgot how incredibly intelligent you are.

1. If you're going to take shots at me, at least make them truthful.

2. Myshit.

3. Don't need to reply. Post wasn't directed at me anyway.

This is all subjective and at least their is some originality in those characters unlike that bruce lee ripoff.

Can Fei Long turn into a dragon ? Mah. Liu Kang has better feats/combat wins and even came back as a zombie. Take that fei long.

I never said he was a copy of liu kang he is of bruce lee as is liu kang. Neither is original. I forgot how you misinterpret posts and how insecure you are. Thanks for reminding me.

1. I fear only that your level of intelligence is contagious.

There's one in all of those major fighting game titles, because Bruce Lee is ****ing amazing. Though I'm not actually sure what is considered a major title nowadays. There aren't any in like, BlazBlue and Guilty Gear stuff, so let's leave it at that.

Stop praising the originality like the rest of the Street Fighter cast doesn't exist. It does not fool me and serves only to make you look dumber. You do that well enough already.

Liu is probably better than Fei Long, yeah. But against people like Ryu, I'm certain that Liu Kang is outmatched.

Says my intellectual inferior.

None of the street fighter characters are anywhere near as original as sub zero or scorpion. You can resort to insults like most beaten debaters have done in the past but it doesn't excuse your lack of an argument.

Liu would beat the snot out of ryu or ken.

Isn't Sub-Zero just a ninja with ice powers? Whoo, the originality! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Are you honestly saying he isn't original ? Wow, just wow. I mean a guy with a headband who is japanese sure is original because he does that hadouken, amirite ?

I never said he was. Frankly I wasn't kidding when I said SF and MK characters are both awful.

Ninja with ice powers still does not equal some highpoint in originality.

False.

Quite certain, also false.

I never said these were the most original characters in all of fiction but they sure make the street fighter characters look terrible in terms of originality.

Then name characters who are more original. I mean with the i.q. you must have just try to dumb it down so Iz cann understandz it.

Most assuredly true.

Then I shall communicate in pictures, so that you can understand them. Trust me Quan, you'll like it. It'll be like Dr. Seuss without the rhymes or story, so none of that hard to understand stuff you don't like!

Quan, you do realize half of the Mortal Kombat roster was originally recolors, right?

The same for SF only like 4 of them were.

Still both has lame characters. With the exeception of Taven, Jax , Kung Lao, Akuma.

I personally think mk is a lot more fun than street fighter but to each his own there.

So you justify liking a game because you think the characters are more powerful ? That's like saying man I really didn't care for god of war but kratos is such a badass I convinced myself I have to like it. He's too powerful to ignore.

Did you just honestly say it's about as good as street fighter's or possibly worse ? Wow. There's really nothing I can say to something just so utterly wrong.

So ken and akuma are cooler than raiden, shao kahn. shang tsung, quan chi, scorpion, etc. I mean it is your opinion but street fighter characters always seemed to utterly bland.

Kei Long is just a knockoff kinda like Liu Kang. Both are lame. At least mk has true originals like scorpion and sub zero. Goro was also original at the time and even though they stole ideas from big trouble in little china for shang tsung and raiden it sure worked.

1. Quan it is your right to think MK is more fun than SF, I never denied the right of anyone to have a bad opinion, far be it from me to deny your's. That said, I will admit Mortal Kombat 9 does seem overall to probably be better than Street Fighter IV in areas other than gameplay.

2. I didn't say that at all, although Street Fighter characters are more powerful. But here is the thing: Street Fighter characters ARE better than Mortal Kombat characters on the whole. While there are some MK characters I honestly DO like, such as Jax, Shinnok, Scorpion, Mileena, perhaps some other characters I cannot think of at the moment, there are however TONS of Mortal Kombat characters that, well, honestly they are so ****ing irrelevant that I cannot so much as recall their names. Now, while Street Fighter has characters that can **** off, MK has far more. Also, MK has more total lame**** characters, such as Liu Lame or Johnny Cage.

3. Yes. With the possible exception of 9, who gives a shit about Mortal Kombat's alleged "plot?"

4. Truthfully I don't really care much about Ken, he is all right. Akuma though? Yes, he is a much cooler character than every Mortal Kombat character.

5. Scorpion is fairly original. Sub-Zero is a ninja with ice powers. Wow. Ryu is more original than that. It helps that he serves as the archetypical fighting game protagonist, aka, he came first. Zangief was original when he was created, being the trope codifier for the "Husky Russkie" character type. Akuma was pretty original when he came out, in particular, his relationship with Ryu was completely original.

Well what else about you is there to go by here? This being the internet, it's not really as easy to judge one as a person as it is their taste in things.

Why? You're just kinda doing yourself a disservice there, especially if SM RPG happens to be on there..

Yeah, but at least they made up for it by making the ninjas more and more distinct from each other and stuff as time went on, to the point that they were no longer simple recolors. That said, **** Chameleon.

You saying those four are the only characters in both series that are not lame? Guess we can agree to disagree then. estahuh

Prolly like the majority of the fans, except when it came to MKvsDC.

Oh, and I should note that personal taste (Unless your personal tastes include something like actual snuff films or something I guess) holds no moral weight.

Moo has horrible taste. That does not necessarily mean he is a horrible person, although he seems to be.

I recall from a while back Peach saying people who liked Twilight are "horrible people," while Twilight may be garbage, there is nothing morally wrong with enjoying it.

Twilights awesome. Funniest. Movie. Ever!

^ depends on your definition of a horrible person.

๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ I cannot believe you just stated these characters are more original than sub zero and scorpion.

That was do to palette limitations which aren't there anymore and we can see how different each ninka looks today without those said limitations.

1. I hardly think a man who vehemently defended fable 2 is qualified as whose opinions are good and whose suck.

2.If I did a top 25 of favorite characters between the two franchises I doubt any street fighter character would even make my cut.

Off the top of my head characters I like more than any street fighter character.

3. I do. I like the plot of deception, deadly alliance, etc. The exploratory worlds were also fun. I mean they have created races such as the shokan and the tarkatan. They put quite a bit of emphasis into the mythology of this verse unlike street fighter.

4.Nah. He'd end up serving Quan Chi in the nether realm if he ended up in their verse. Good thing for him he doesn't ever have to face any of these elite fighters.

5.Ryu is more original than sub zero. He's just some martial artist who shares the same even special moves for the most part with ken as well.

You've seen these characters somewhere before Street Fighter, Quan? If so, please share with me where.
