Having better stats wouldn't make them less of a clone. And what extra abilities you're referring to?

HP drain, anti ring out, and all that.

I still would prefer that over clones. I remember in SC3, you couldn't even change your character's built.

Well you could in SCIV, and I'm sure SCV will have even better customizations in all aspects. They'll have to make quite a step above MKA's customizations for me to want them to have such a mode in an MK game ever again. I'd rather fight a stylish clone of some kind online than a created character that has a mixture of stolen moves from a bunch of other fighters into one.

I pick my crossovers carefully so when I think of a MK crossover, I look at stuff beyond just the violence.

As do I. SC isn't exactly on MK's level of violence or anything on that note, especially when you compare like the critical finishes to fatalities. lol

I guess that's a series I would include as well, barring Brawl.

Streetfighter (but not so much when the moves became a large mass of directional commands) gets my vote, with Tekken then Soulblade/Calibur.

I never really was any good at Mortal Kombat, I always found the fighting system awkward- I just liked doing the fatalities.

That's not saying much about their moveset. They're still clones.

Stolen moves? Then why play as a clone? They got a stolen moveset.

Though I do sort of a like how both featured the same guest character Kratos.

At least it's considered a fighting game around here (I hope).

At least with a clone that focuses on just one borrowed moveset, you're prevented from having some totally uber character that's got moves taken from a bunch of other fighters, which again I would not want to see when it comes to online, with the amount of imbalance it would lead to. Even Ed Boon has acknowledged the balance issues such customizations can create, which was probably why they ditched the whole Kreate-a-Fighter thing after Armageddon.

More often than not it's considered a party series with some fighting elements, which I think nails it best.

Def Jams fight for NY was my all time favorite fighting game, and they should make other fighting games with this type of engine.

1. Def Jams Fight for NY
2. Street Fighter 3
3 Battle Arena Toshinden
4. Soul Caliber iv
5. Fight Night iv
