I've recently read a blog that loosely pits two genre combatants against each other and thought it was great. As a result, catering to my own personal amusement, I present to you a few reasons why Mortal Kombat, on paper, is a better video game than Street Fighter.
1. The main character in Street Fighter is a red belt karate specialist. First of all, red isn't the highest belt. So you're telling me the central hero in the story is an amateur karate student, possibly even just an enthusiast. The fact that he can throw blue balls of force from his arm's doesn't make a difference. Put a circle of "force" up against a bloody spear and you end up with one masked guy that has to step back a few, against a dead karate participant.
2. Mortal Kombat is well good. It has blood and shit involved. So much to the point where I had a note from Santa warning me about the dangers of violence in video games alongside my copy of Mortal Kombat 2 for christmas 1995. Santa does not, in fact, have time to write violence warning notes for Street Fighter cause the level of bloodshed is up there with the opening scene from Bambi.
3. New version of Mortal Kombat have chess. It's a gentleman's game.
4. Mortal Kombat's movie was way more budget than Street Fighters movie. Everyone knows that with fighting games made into movies, the more budget the better. Mortal Kombat's characters had rubber suits and shit.
Mortal Kombat, FINISH HIM!
