I was a really big Mortal Kombat fan myself.  It was alot better than Street Fighter.

I vote for "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out"

I think Street Fighter came FIVE YEARS before Mortal Kombat so you cannot compare the two games.

SF/SF2 redefined the fighting game genre, and MK1/MK2 advanced it.

That said, I had to go with a "neither", because I preferred to compete against the machine rather than another human.  I was the guy emptying his pockets into 2-player cooperative games like Smash TV and Terminator 2.

The two exceptions I made were for Atari's Rampart (best described as "Missile Command, played head-to-head, using medieval siege equipment"), and Leland's Ataxx, which was a strategy/board game (!) that could be playable against alien monsters of varying AI strength, or against other humans, with each quarter buying you 100 seconds of decision-making time.  (Scoring in Ataxx was also innovative - the game kept a permament record of your wins/losses/draws, derived a skill rating based on the skill ratings of the opponents one had won/lost against, and players "logged in" to the machine by using a combination of your initials and birthdate when you started the game.  Very clever.)

Even though Street Fighter II is one of my all time favorite fighting games, I would go with the Mortal Kombat series as a whole. I have owned each MK game up to the fourth one on the Nintendo 64, and liked each one alot.

I sucked at MK, so SF gets my vote

In the arcade that used to be at the local mall I go to, there was a SFII:  Champion Edition, the one that had the dual screens, and it had a glitch where you could use Blanka, and suddenly out of the blue, you'd turn into Ryu and do this super slow uppercut that took like half your opponents life.  The B-Boys used to get pissed off at me when I'd do this, to which I still have no idea how it was done

I used to get alot of death threats when I'd play against someone in SF2.  "Let's take this fight outside for real".  One guy even pulled out a knife to show me that he meant business.  He can stab me if he wants, but it wouldn't change the fact that he sucks at SF2 ;D

I voted neither, although I did enjoy playing both series abit.

I liked Street Fighter way better. Once I got past the shock value of MK, I got bored with it. I remember having a blast playing Street Fighter 2 in the arcade with my friends.

Mortal Kombat, but I absolutely dispise the MK vs DC game.  Has anyone seen the previews?  Scorpions says "come over here" and uses his hook to take Captain Marvel into another dimension.  If this was in the comics, Captain Marvel would have destroyed him in a few seconds with just one punch.
