Which of the two fighting franchises do you prefer most? I preferred SF likely because I liked the roster of characters from dhalsim to blanka.

I would say my favourite in the series is SF Alpha 3. Nice anime inspired gfx and mechanics.

Mortal Kombat I didn't mind but I wasn't a fan of the early 3D titles I.e. Deception because I didn't like their soul calibur like side step mechanic.

What are your thoughts?

Street Fighter feels better as a competitive game and Mortal Kombat has always felt more button-mashy and arcade like.

I never really liked Mortal Kombat's game play over Street Fighter because of this. I've continued with Street Fighter to modern times, but having not really cared for it back with the original trilogy, I haven't touched modern MK games much.

I do however like the lore and story for the MK games way more than SF. I watch all the movies and anime and stuff; those are way more fun for me than the games lol
