Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat?

So this poll is pretty simply, which one do you perfer the street fighter series or the mortal kombat series, im not just talking about the recent games, i mean the series as a whole. Which do you perfer? My friend and I were having an argument about which one was better, so i thought i ask you guys what you think!

Street Fighter in every way. MK is a joke and takes far less skill, the community is garbage and I'm so sick of seeing the xray moves to the point I wont even use them.

Street fighter 4 is frustratingly difficult, to the point where it's not even fun unless you put in 50 hours of practice with one character if you want to stand a chance online. I will always prefer MK.

neither actually. both games i feel they just rely on spamming the same moves over and over. street fighter im not so sure cuz i havent played online buti played a lot with friends and stuff. but id pick street fighter over MK if i had to choose.

MK is just ridiculous online. i sold it almost immediately after i beat the story mode (shao khan WTF) cuz i could barely play online cuz of the lag. and then ppl use the same characters all the time and just use the same moves, and u cant really do anything about it most of the time cuz of the lag.

the only reason ill buy a fighting game now is to play with friends or something. for me, the best fighting game ive played was the DOA series. ive always liked that game cuz theres no powers or projectile moves or none of that, its just straight up fighting. too bad its not for ps3. i also like tekken as well and soul calibur is pretty cool.

i knew it was gonna be patched actually, i just didnt care or like the game enough to wait for it or whatever. i wouldvetraded it either way. lol i dont regret it or anything i traded it for all 3 Assassin's creed games and im very pleased with my decision. the assassin's creed games are my favourite series this gen and AC2 id say is one of my all time favourite games.

Street Fighter all the way... hands down, NO comparison

SFII > MKII

SFIII > UMK3

SFIV >> MK 2011

I enjoyed the older MK's waaaay more than the new one (don't really understand why people hype MK 2011 :/ - it's a mediocre game to me)

I like this question - I've wanted to ask it myself

GT_33

yeah me neither. its a good game and all but i think the X-ray moves were a bad addition to the game. i also think that the graphics aren't really all that good for a fighting game.

love UMK3 or trilogy..

MK1 and MK2 are great but streetfighter 2 was better

SFalpha is great

SF4 is better than MK9 imo...

overall id say street fighter.

Mortal Kombat, I never liked Street Fighter.

IMO If your new to SF it would take a lot of practice. MK is much different and I find easier to get into.

I agree with Street Fighter taking a lot more skill. That's why I love playing MK. :DI don't mash or anything, I try and learn characters. But I don't spend hours on being unstoppable and such. I just play Mortal Kombat when I'm with friends and family.

Street Fighter series over Mortal Kombat series. I don't hate the Mortal Kombat series (I really like MK II) and I think the new Mortal Kombat game is a great return for the series.

For me it's MORTAL KOMBAT.The new mk game has the nostalgia feel of back in 92 when it came out and getting it for christmas that year.Street fighter is good but i like mk more now if chun-li was in mortal kombat yeah buddy.Wish sony would remake Battle Arena Toshinden for the ps3 or ps4 that was another good fighting series along with Tekken.Can not wait for sf x tekken and tekken x sf to come out that way i can whoop that ass in sf with my tekken crew

I've had that exact same experience with SSFIV. If I ever try to play SSFIV online I only get into matches with Ryu or Guile, and you can guess why. They continuously spam the same moves over and over and I think I saw a person use a combo once. The couple matches I won (I'm pretty bad at fighting games) were met with the opposing player rage quitting.

I like Mortal Kombat better. Street Fighter games are extremely well-made, but are deep and competitive playing requires a lot more time and effort than I'm willing to sink into a fighting game. Of course, that's also what makes people love it. Mortal Kombat does still require skill, but just not as much.

Street fighter has better gameplay by far

X Ray moves break the game in MK, i never use them until the guy im fighting tries using one on me, i always put the X Rays disabled code in at the VS screen but only once did sumone put it in also, and when that code is active it feels so classic and alot more fun

neither. both those games are very overrated and I am a fighting game fan. Blazblue is where it is at!

I skipped a day of school in 8th grade to play in a Street Fighter II tourney at the local arcade. I won.

SF is easily approachable, but difficult to master. It requires double joystick rotations and pressing 3 buttons. that alone is going to deter somebody that really does not play many fighting games. Especially the turbo and hyper ones in the 90's.

MK is a slower pace (with the exception of MK3 and the "run" button) and I think is just more casual fighter friendly. It requires less precision and timing. Its more about repetition and juggling. I guess thats really my only beef with it. That and the online gargles goat load on the current one.

I do love what MK did with the story mode on the current one. I thought it was awesome and think they set a benchmark that hopefully other devs will follow suit on. (namco & aksys)

What? X-Ray is MK's version of SF's Super. Wait, don't tell me. You never Super in SF? Please...

I loved them both during the 16 bit era. Today I don't play either one.

I think the reason why you see X-Rays so much is because the people you play, depend on them too much. Good players save meter for breakers and enhance specials.

OK, you don't like Juri's super so you don't use it. But if you were a Yun player, you'd be using his super where ever you can.

I see people use Supers just as much as I see X-Rays. In fact, in competitive tournaments I see less X-Rays than I do Supers.
