Even though SF is bigger in terms of popularity, I feel MK community is much more tight-knit with one another. We love the mythology, character development, and support the franchise and the people. (Remember when MK9 wasn't at this year's EVO? The MK community raised money to hold a side tournament and even Ed Boon contributed with some goods of his own and he's always at the EVO tournaments to congratulate the players).
It may not be the BEST fighting game in terms of gameplay, but I think the impact it has done and it's constant innovation of its franchise as well as a decent MK movie most people agree was good makes it more iconic than SF.
