Why the hell is Street Fighter so much better than Mortal Kombat? It shouldn't be but it is.
though i would put TEKKEN in front of street fighter. no ridiculous energy blasts and crazy ass combos for one thing, AND they all do REAL martial arts
What? Tekken has more nonsensical combos and air juggles than Street Fighter ever will, and though Tekken might not have 'ridiculous energy blasts', it has monsters, robots, fighting blocks of wood and...guys who shoot lazers from their heads. TK is just as far, if not further from realistic than SF.
(At one point, Tekken had a dinosaur on the roster. A DINOSAUR. A DINOSAUR IN BOXING GLOVES.)
Not to mention a walking lion headed thing, a cyborg, a miserable excuse of a ninja, a boxing kangaroo - which had a boxing kangaroo wife and son, a fuckiing ogre, an old guy who doesn't age, a bastard child, not to mention in tekken 2 that kazuya turns into an angel AND a devil.
i see your point. though still, their martial arts exist, not like *'shotokan-ryu karate' (Ryu & Ken im looking at you) or 'the way of yoga' (WTF DHALSIM, WTF!?!?!!).
and on the subject of ridiculous characters, what the fuck kind of creature is Blanka? Does anyone really know what the fuck he is, some sort of pikachu & sonic the hedgehog love chkld?
cheers,
*p.s. I am aware that shotokan karate actually does exist, just not the Ryu part of it anyway.
TATSUMAKI-SENPU KYAKU!!!
