What's Better and Why: Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat?

[Starscream]

Street Fighter II and any of it's incarnations (must say II in the title) or either of the first two Mortal Kombat games? Which is better? It's a toss up to me. Street Fighter is fun, but the blood reigns supreme in MK. I guess it comes down to a personal choice. Which do you like best?

[icehog3]

I like Ms. PacMan, Andy.

[akumushi]

Street Fighter is perhaps a better fighting game and a far stronger franchise, especially when it gets into Alpha, but I have never been good or really into fighting games, so I had to vote for Mortal Kombat because it was fun, chock full of absolutely ludricrous violence and I could actually play it and win so, it was a lot more fun than any of the more sophisticated titles in the genre that might require skill or finesse.

[tobii3]

What's better and why...

MCMAP or MAC?

If you gotta ask...:r

[Starscream]

I like Ms. PacMan, Andy.

I'm with you 100%, Admiral. Ms. Pacman and the original Super Mario Bros. FTW. But it wasn't one of the two choices in the poll.:)

[bscottskangum]

I heart gore :D MK all the way

Plus how much better can it get than... FINISH HIM!... FATALITY

[WildBlueSooner]

Both are great games but I always like MK better. Get over here!

[themoneycollector]

I prefer MKII even though SF may be the more popular game across the entire franchise as akumushi said.

To me, it had slightly better graphics, the gameplay was much improved (doing natural movements for weapons etc. instead of the SF way of doing a half-circle with the joystick and pressing 2-buttons simultaneously), the fighting engine was much better and more well rounded, and of course FATALITIES and babalities! :banger

How can you resist a baby Baraka. :noon

Are those Adult films, Andy? If so, I would pay shipping for a copy on DVD. :tu

Sonic... BOOM!

Always loved SFII... suppose getting my SNES with SFII Turbo was a major thing!

They made those types of video games too, Admiral.:)

SF II. Chun Li! Need I really say more?

[hscmit]

all tied up

[Starscream]

What about Cammy?

[mariogolbee]

What about Cammy?
Cammy is a bonus. She's like the sweet candied cherry that's on the cream cheese frosted quadruple layer red velvet cake that already is Chun Li. But, a very nice cherry she is.

[Bill86]

I always preferred the MK games as I liked the blood and gore. That and the fatalities were usually pretty badass.

What kind of cheesedick wears a red pj suit, anyhow?

It's a gi. I see no resemblance between a gi and pjs, but to each his own. Actually, now that I think about it, I guess a gi can kinda look like pjs.:sh

I've never owned a video game system in my life, nor played one at anyone's home. I go to the rink and play hockey. :)

Let's just all agree that Ken is a dick who only scrubs play :tu:D

[rebelknight]

Mortal kombat. Better characters. Sweet specials. Best finishing moves. Awesome theme song. Finish him. Fatality

I submit the newer SF4 theme, which is cheesy as hell and will never leave your head

side note:

Cammy = Kylie Minogue in the film.

Anyone claiming MK's Sonya Blade fails.

I will counter with two things:

1. While not Kylie Minogue, Bridgette Wilson isn't exactly chopped liver. http://www.sydlexia.com/blogstuff/bridgettewilson.jpg

2. Street Fighter had JCVD in ithttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oQ5rugxiIG0/Sh7K-Pqzg-I/AAAAAAAAByI/ZOg5tlW5jEY/s400/gay+van+damme.jpg

I probably should have said NSFW. :)
James Rolfe, AKA the Angry Video Game Nerd has some pretty good stuff. I find him completely hilarious, yet informative.
