I think the latest versions of Mortal Kombat are better than street fighter And I love street fighter but v is not different from IV and the characters look worse than ever I like how Mortal Kombat includes cool new characters like the alien, predator and Jason All the new street fighter characters are garbage
I'm don't play MK and am a well-wisher at this point, but I have to admit that the cool 80's nostalgia characters they've added to this point have made me want to pick it up.
Dude this generation of Mortal Kombat walks all over Street Fighter Street Fighter went down hill after the alpha series. None of the new charters were likable and seemed too weird or generic. Mortal Kombat went the other direction with getting known characters from other universes like Robocop, Alien, Friday the 13th and now Rambo. That's insane. And they actually put them in a story.
I've had no compulsion to pick up a SF game past III anyway. Marvel vs Capcom, maybe or some of the other crossover games, but not a SF game. The art direction is just too weird and as you said, generic. And they have gone the He-Man route and everyone is bristling with muscles.
