Best Figher ever made???

More fans and more sales does not mean MK is a better game.  Incidentally, you are not backing that up with a citation which means you are expecting us to "take your word for it" on a point that does not belong in the argument.

Longevity, on the other hand, does mean SFII (and its derivatives) is a better game.  Continued spinoffs and improvements to the engine mean it's a better game.  SSF2T debuted shortly after MK3, if I recall correctly, and it's still being played at the world tournament level.   When I Google for "mortal kombat tournament" I only get results about the game, not anything regarding an actual tournament.  I don't see you arguing these points which are really the relevant points in this argument; these facts stare you right in the face and you have no defense.  You are defeated.

Note that I still enjoy Mortal Kombat (I was undefeated as Mileena in my fraternity days), it's just not better than SF2.  I'd go so far as to call it a classic, but as fighting games go it's got the least depth.  You might very well enjoy MK more, but there's no denying that it doesn't have the longevity.

The game changed the landscape of all gaming, and the hate for it here is just as expected from a game that was so popular.

Interesting then that SFII is the game that seems to always be recognized as the game that brought about the resurgence in the popularity of arcades.

I don't particularly care one way or the other -- I don't particularly like fighters and dislike the eleventy brazillion flavours of Street Fighter -- just pointing out that your cut-and-dried facts don't appear to be so cut-and-dried.

To Genesim:

The problem here is that you tout your opinion as "fact", but you fail to provide any concrete evidence to support them. So until you can come here with some reputable numbers to back your "facts", they will remain as "opinions" to the general populace.

I've worked in the videogame industry for over ten years. That's a "fact", one that I can back up here:

Now, durring my time in the industry, I've seen a couple of 2D and several 3D Mortal Kombat games released, but I've never, NEVER heard even the inkling of any review that touts Mortal Kombat was ever, EVER a superior fighter, or intelectual property than Street Fighter was. Ever.

The only thing I've heard Mortal Kombat compared to was other Mortal Kombat games, and how they've improved upon themselves, which is commendable.

Provide me with proof, and I'll happily eat my words as being ignorant and uninformed.

So here it is. Either put up, or shut the hell up, because frankly, your attitude and tone has become really annoying. You can't passionately make such a sweeping comment without any proof. Nobody will take you seriously.

Tekken Tag is my all time favorite.

You should check out that Yuu Yuu Hakusho game for the Genesis.

4 player free for all, 2v2, 1v3.

Has well balanced characters too.

It can be a bit pricey tho once you find it, but well worth it in my opinion.

Guilty Gear Isuka is great too, also has 4 player modes.  There is a pc version available so you could run it on your mame cab.  Or get the ps2 version.

I like crazy 4 player free for alls.  Why beat one of your friends when you can beat 3? :D
