I was firmly in the SF camp in the 16 bit console days. SF4 was well received and Jeff is creaming himself over the new MK. Who will be the king of fighters?
Is Street Fighter v Mortal Kombat still relevant?
I think it's still relevant, but Street Fighter seems to have a pretty strong hold on the market. Maybe I'm just too outside of the fighting community to know for sure though...
I'm wondering how truthful Ed Boon was in his GB interview from E3 where he said that they had decided to do a 2D fighter before SFIV dropped. It does feel a little bit bandwagon-y to me at this point. But who knows.
I have always felt like it was between KoF and SF, while MK was just off cutting itself in a dark corner. Besides, there's plenty of room in the market for them to not be competing directly with each other. Tekken 6 sold a few million and that was in pretty much direct competition with SF4.
ACRONYMS
I'm excited about MK9 and it looks great but we'll see. It has a lot to make up for with recent MK games.
" Surely King of Fighters XIII will be the king of fighters. That or, you know, Virtua Fighter. "Wait, what? Why are you mixing subgenres?
It was never relevant, like Ryan said on the bombcast. Mk was all about the insane bat shit stuff and extra violence where SF there was a real game to be had.
