What was or is top gun: Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat series?
So I'm in the middle of helping my brother restore his dynamo HS-5 to a SF:CE dedicated cabinet. When a few of my firends were like. "What happened to the MK1 that was in there? You should restore it to a MK cabinet instead. (Now ok, everyone has their opinion, but when they said the following that had me laughing) Mortal Kombat was waaaaaaay beter bro."
Then we got into a long discussion and a few friends of mine who all argued to me and my brother that Mortal Kombat was a better and more successful series! As a person who likes to use facts in arguments, I went and compared each SF game to the then current running MK game at the time. Found it would be fair to compare MK1 to SF2 ww, MK2 to SF2'HF/CE etc. etc.
Now... I love both series, but no Fighting game or game from 1991 on comes close to the SF2 series in my book. Now that says a lot since I love and own more Tekken series items than SF. But SF2 holds that special place that no game can't for me.
MK series was always running a close second to SF for many years.
One thing that MK did do better was their movies.
I read how someone said: "Man, I laughed when I first saw the Street Fighter Champion Edition commercial for Sega. You know, the one where the mall cop is walking through the game store late at night. Well, I thought it was total BS how the fist came out of the SF box and grabbed the MK box and crumpled it up. MK was way better, I mean... It had BLOOD SF didn't have blood, or fatalities!"
He was wrong about the blood. LOL But I respected his opinion.
Now decades later, MK and SF are now back in competition after so many bad MK sequels. I'm quite impressed with MK, and it's time that they got their head of their ass. Yet...SF hasn't skipped a beat.
What do you guys think? I know there is MK fans that feel SF was a close second. If your game room allowed room for only one of SF machine or MK machine, which one would get the spot?
I would take SF2' HF hands down over any SF or MK machine.
