Street fighter vs Mortal Kombat

[Baller234]

Street Fighter had the gameplay, MK had the graphics (for the time) and the edginess that appealed to kids/teens

It's telling Street Fighter 6 now still has the same level of basics as SF2, while Mortal Kombat is a totally different game now that happens to use the original characters.

Yup.

The SF mechanics remained the same and were just expanded upon with each new release. The core gameplay that defined the series always stood intact.

Meanwhile from MK4 onward, the approach to the series was reinvented for each new console.

Didn't really play either one, but Tekken 3 was my favorite fighting game. Logged a lot of hours into that game when I was younger.
