Mortal Kombat is arguably the biggest fighting game series of all time after Street Fighter, but why has nobody been checking for the series in Asia since MK2 back in the early 90's? Kinda like how Tekken hasn't been popular in America since i was like in 7th or 8th grade, truly a reverse warholian experience.

Let's settle this once and for all

Street Fighter wishes it had any remote impact and legacy unlike Mortal Kombat. And a rated M game is not gonna be big in asia where all these JRPG type games dominate, which is why SF does well there its kid friendly colorful and basic design makes it popular.

Cultural appropriation

They didn't release in JPN

did not stop Mortal Kombat from outselling Street Fighter tho

Maybe if MK didn't borrow about everything from SF2 (which earned more money, and had more impact than the entire MK series) you'd had a point, and wouldn't sound stupid

Most people know about the series due to the controversy about the fatalities.

Mortal Kombat is much bigger than Street Fighter at least where i'm from. I mean seriously

Sub-Zero and Scorpion > Ken and Ryu
Finish Him! > Shoryuken
Fatalities > games with no blood

The trinity of fighting games imo
1. Mortal Kombat
2. Street Fighter
3. Tekken

Too bad SF's sold, impacted, & more importantly earned more than MK

Scorpion, that was the guy who I liked playing as.

Which one had that move where they ripped the head off or something? I can't even remember. I want to play it now tf.

& there you have it gyals, people in Europe barely remember MK, at least the US is still big on controversy & sadistic violence

Street Fighter is more family friendly. That's the only reason why it sold more.

MK making all games have ratings > anything SF has done.

So why did SF also earn more on arcades, where kids could play MK without a prolem? At least use an excuse that makes sense

Shinnok's fatality with the beer bottle cap maneuver and the head rips off.

Because there are more SF arcades. And believe it or not some kids actually find MK scary...
