Break the rules. Street Fighter Alpha 2 and SF3 - 3rd strike.

genesim,
I think you're crazy if you honestly believe that Mortal Kombat can provide the depth of the Steet Fighter series. MK was one of my favorite fighters in its time, but it's so exploitable that it's semi-broken now. I love MKII, but I feel that MK3 sort of introduced as many broken elements into the game as innovations.
Yes, MK has depth, and that's proven by the fact that an experienced player will always win out over a new player, but the Street Fighter series is WAY more balanced and way more intricate in its execution. Both series have their place in the genre, but Street Fighter has way more strategy and discipline involved.

Streetfighter II is a much slower game compared to the original MK(further comparisons even widen the mark with the introduction of the RUN).
Streetfighter has you retreat to block a move as opposed to a quick button press. Blocking fighters are easy to deal with and unlike SFII, players blocks actually penalize you.
As for the "limiting" moves...again, more ignorance. While it appears each character has similar moves, that is only if you haven't played the game. Lui Kang is obviously a faster player. Cage has a much wider uppercut. ....etc.
Any idiot that thinks they can just sit and block will be in a for a real treat from me. You can block high....block low, but you cannot do both at the same time. Either you get sweeped or kicked in the head, it is your choice.
SFII was a slow game, and that was why they needed turbo to compete...guess what, it didn't work. MK was still faster gameplay.
A small step up from Final Fight? You must have been playing the game with some real losers.
It does crack me up how you say a game has predesigned combos when it is obvious that there are still combos being discovered. The game is glitchy, and funny enough that is what makes it unpredictable. If anything was predesigned, that would be SFII.
I cringe at remembering how slow the game is. Charging a move takes gameplay down to a CRAWL. I could get 3 lightining bolts to one sonic boom easy.

I played a ton of MK1,2, and 3. I enjoy playing them. I'm not a MK hater, but between MK and SFII - the skill is in SFII.
You think Street Fighter II Turbo didn't work in making Street Fighter a faster game? Have you seen some of the combos?
The thing with SF combos is they are hard to do, unlike MK. I don't play much anymore, but I was pretty good at MKII and MKIII and at the same time I played a lot of Street Fighter II in the arcades against real people. People watched MK games to see the fatalities and other goofy end moves while they watched a SF game to see what combos a player could pull off.
What about throwing being a cheap move? What kind of fighting game doesn't allow throws? Might as well not allow kicks either and call it boxing. How can a game be "great" when you can't use all the moves given to you. Name 1 move in Street fighter a player shouldn't do because the designers of the game made it so unbalanced.

well said, I agree.
MK = checkers
SF = chess
