Which of these fighting games seems more fun to you, they are two f my top favorites to be honest with Virtua Fighter in for a close third. Let's see which of them ends up winning.

Going with Soul Calibur because I really enjoy well done 3D fighters and SC back in the day was so good to play, much better than MK which started to decline in quality a lot in the late 90's.

Soul Calibur had more wow-factor. When the first came out on the Dreamcast, I was completely blown away by the graphics. But I spent far more time on Mortal Kombat playing it against friends, trying to unlock Reptile and Smoke, testing out Fatalities, etc. So my vote goes to Mortal Kombat.

I agree, Soul Calibur was like the best arcade port, or at least the top of the line when it came out on the Dreamcast. Not to mention it fixed most complaints with it's younger cousin, and the only Mortal Kombat competition to it was four. But then Deadly Alliance came out. So I have been thinking for awhile, and I have decided I like Mortal Kombat more. Sure Soul Edge, and Soul Calibur were amazing, and I got all the version of Soul Calibur 2, but after deadly alliance brought back MK for me, and SC3 was not exactly the best game, and 4 was not exactly the best game, at least MK stayed consistent afterward. I mainly came t this decision because of Soul Caliber 4 and 5. But they are still two of my favorites though over all others. With Virtua Fighter a close Third and KOF somewhere 4th.

I go with MK, just because it's a 2D fighter. After playing many fighting games I came to the conclusion that even mediocre 2D fighters are more fun than top-tier 3D fighters.

I like Soul Calibur, but Mortal Kombat is a lot better. Really, if not for having a character creator, which is fun to mess around with, I probably wouldn't like Soul Calibur as much as I do. That, and I would take MK9 over any of the recent Soul Calibur's.

I like both series, but I've never been too big of a Soul Caliber fan. However, if we're are comparing 3D MK games with Soul Caliber (which seems like the only fair comparison) I'd pick Soul Caliber. However, 2D MK games will always be prefered over any Soul Caliber title.

I love the Mortal Kombat series for the over the top presentation. Mortal Kombats 1-9 are great for the over the topness. Soul Caliber is more of a serious tone. But fighting games in general are meant tpo be fun. Soul Caliber is weapon based fighting. instead of hand to hand of Mortal Kombat except for a few instances. But MK for me.

Soul Calibur for gameplay, Mortal Kombat for the mythology. I think I've had more fun reading about Mortal Kombat than I have actually playing the games. (Though that's not to knock the games themselves. I do love most of the MK games.)

I find the old (2D) MKs more enjoyable.

But neither series comes close to SF, imo.

We should have made this a poll. Now I'm curious.

I have been looking around but found nothing on how to do that. The poll HTML code doesn't work on this forum either.

Once it's posted, it's too late. But when you start a thread, there's a poll option.

It should be right next to the tag option, below the text window. I've started a few myself.

I'm personally not a fan of how the old MK games played, so SC then!

Soul Calibur. I found any Mortal Kombat game I played to be mediocre at best, while Soul Calibur was always fun.

I liked mortal kombat since the days it was released for snes. eventually i played soul edge on ps and i liked it a lot, though id never make no comparison between both. somethings made got kinda upset with mortal kombat as the time passed (like... robots, dumb fatalities, a policeman fighter using a pistol and so and so), while soul calibur only gets better. it returned in great shape on Armageddon, but overall i prefer soul calibur, both for the aesthetics and the gameplay.
