I am glad the resurgence led to the release of HD remix and Marvel Vs Capcom 2, but I just fight 3D fighters as being too lame, hate Tekken so much!  But SF4 was just too weird, I mean, I kept scratching my head at the cutscenes because they made no damn sense.  Also I was pissed that the mexican was a chef who yelled and jumped around, it was so retarded.  Or that rufus was some good fighter but was a fat piece of crap.  Keep trying.
What is missing is a true mortal kombat sequel.  Mortal Kombat 5, well 4 is taken but in my opinion it would be the true MK4.  All the digitized actors comeback and you make an HD over the top super violent MK, none of that make your own fatality crap.  Make the fatalities unique and funny again.
