Which of the two fighting franchises do you prefer most? I preferred SF likely because I liked the roster of characters from dhalsim to blanka.

I would say my favourite in the series is SF Alpha 3. Nice anime inspired gfx and mechanics.

Mortal Kombat I didn't mind but I wasn't a fan of the early 3D titles I.e. Deception because I didn't like their soul calibur like side step mechanic.

What are your thoughts?

Alas, I am a lifelong Soul Calibur stan.

I got into it back when SC-II was the only game in the arcade I could beat on a single quarter.

I have played every game in the series - even the awful ones.

I love the stupid, overwrought storyline.
I love the wild assortment of weapons the characters bring to bear.
Though... I'd be okay if Ivy calmed her tits. Just a bit. Lady is one good sneeze away from a traction bed.

I'm hoping Bamco makes enough $$$ from Tekken to throw a few dollars to their other fighting game franchise.... but I kinda doubt it.
