Personally, I'm a HUGE Tekken fan, but comparing MK to SF..I'll take Mortal Kombat. The finishing moves have my heart, specially "babalities".
That sounds awesome...!The newest MK game coming out not only plays like Shaolin Monks in Konquest mode, it also has "Kreate a Fighter" and "Kreate a Fatality". Yep, you cna create your own character and pick their fighting styles as well as create your own fatalities, what they do, and what moves you do during it.
word.That sounds awesome...!
Agreed. Jin and Kazuya were my favs? Could you ever pull off the multi combos with King in Tekken Tag?Personally, I'm a HUGE Tekken fan, but comparing MK to SF..I'll take Mortal Kombat. The finishing moves have my heart, specially "babalities".

I wonder how many quarters I pumped into that game at the arcade?remember pit fighter? lol.
Probably because the tools they used to creating fatalities weren't dynamic until now.I wonder how many quarters I pumped into that game at the arcade?
My as far as SF or MK I would have to go with MK. The new create your character and fatality sounds pretty cool. Kind of surprised that it wasn't done sooner though.
Best Tekken was Tekken Tag so far.On a side note, Tekken was an awesome game. Very realistic, the grappling especially. I could do some damage with Heihachi (he dressed like a pimp)
Tekken had some creative characters too. The robot ninja, the tree-guy (Mukojin?) the panda bear, the giant demon guy.
Indeed. Capoeria is visually stunning. Apparently it is good in combat too but I'd have to see it to beleive it. What I find interesting is the history of it. How they disguised the martial art to be a dance/celebration, but they were actually training in combat. Kinda neat.Best Tekken was Tekken Tag so far.
My favorite character in Tekken was Eddy Gordo. Capoeira is just too cool. Actually IMO Tekken is resonsible for popularizing it.
Heck, I remember playing Tekken 3 in the arcade, both me and this dude were Eddy. We were pretty evenly matched, but I remember him naming some of the moves, and saying which ones he could do and stuff. I asked where he learned it, and he told me about a place in NYC so I actually went there and took lessons for a couple months. It was some wild stuff, and IMO, it doesn't take long before you can do some things that are pretty darn impressive looking.
If you read about the slave revolt you'll see that while hand to hand the slaves could beat their oppressors usually, they lost a metric crapton of people because the slave owners had guns. You had a situation where there were THOUSANDS of slaves for every few dozen slave owners. You think the southern US had a lot of slaves, that was nothing compared to Brazil.Indeed.

As for how effective it is in a fight, I would say against most other martial arts: not very.
I consider Capoeira a performance art.
hahaha, no KOF.. that's hilarious!No King Of Fighters on your list? Shenanigans!
I voted Street Fighter because Capcom vs. SNK had all my KoF's representin.
Sonic Boom!
Wow, way to bring back an old post...who bump this up to recent?
it is.......I thought ippon was japanese?
That's gangsterit is.......
Ippon (Japanese: 一本) - "one full point", is a highest score a fighter can achieve in a Japanese martial arts ippon-wazari contest, usually Judo, karate or Jiu-Jitsu.
you should make a DIY on that free play tool.........ive never done it. i guess its self explanitory but i dont think it would work.To be honest I was the arcade king on Mortal Kombat II, well until this lil punk of a ten year old vietamese dude pwned me
I got into MK3 a little but not much it was hands and feet harder than MK2.
I pwned a little on KI Gold with Sabrewolf.
I would love to get a console to play the new MK's .... makes me wanna cry a little....damn estrogen.

Probably doesn't work anymore though.A well-known method of fraud associated with coin-operated machines involves attaching string or thread to a genuine coin and then inserting the coin into the machine while holding the string. Once the coin has passed the validating section and caused an appropriate amount of credit to be accumulated, the user is able to stop the coin from passing into a storage section by use of the string. He can then operate the machine to obtain goods or services, and then retrieve the coin, for example, by pressing an escrow return button. U.K. Patent Application No. 9026676.8 in the name of the present applicant provides a solution to this problem, wherein the presence of a thread under tension or the presence of a thick thread is detected. It would be desirable to provide another means of avoiding such fraud and preferably one which does not depend on a user applying tension to the trailing thread.
MK is dead, SF 3rd Strike is still alive and kicking, but the new SF 4 coming out looks a bit, eeehhhhhh....I was good ta MK4. Used to go to the arcade and drop $30 into that thing every friday night
SF and MK are almost dead even right now
Emulation man, emulation.I still play MK4 for my Nintendo 64, I wish I had a system that could play SF.
totally agree with you on all aspects! reps.I liked the first two MK's but the game's style just kinda went overboard afterwards for me. In the arcades I prefered the Street Fighter series, especially the Marvel/X-men crossovers, but I hated how they milked SFII for every penny by making 50 different versions of it. I started playing tekken when 3 came out and it's been my favorite fighter since. I'd like mortal kombat more if it wasn't the type of gameplay where you literally have to mash in your entire 10+ string combo as fast as you can before you even start actually landing the blows. Killer Instnct was like that too, and it's a shame, because both those series have that nice, dark style that suits my aesthetics.
