Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat 1

[Challe]

I have thought of buying either Street Fighter 6 or Mortal Kombat 1 but I can only get one.
Which one should I pick? Please can you help me decide?

If you want a ton of gore and have a story mode with high production value cinematics and with a story that feels like it was lifted from a 90s comic book, take MK1. If you want a very solid fighting game that will give you dozens of hours of fun as you master its mechanics, systems and characters to play with and against others, SF6 is your safe pick.

I had the chance to play the betas for SF6 and immensely enjoyed it. Never really liked the MK franchise so I haven’t bothered getting any recent MK games.

If you were to get SF6, I would give both control schemes a try and figure out what path to take. I have a Gold 1 Ken and a Plat 2 Zangief.

There are some people around these forums that will talk trash on people who use the Modern control scheme, calling it a ‘cheat’ or ‘baby mode for people who are teribad’. Don’t let other people’s complaints color your views.

For SF6 though, your rank is tied to whichever character you’re using at the moment. Like, you could have a Silver 2 Ken and a Gold 4 Ryu. Plus, you get 10 placement ranked matches before your initial rank is decided.

In short, play for less than 2 hours and get a refund if you don’t like it.

MK1 is easier to pick up and has a better single player mode and more #content.

SF6 is going to be around for a while like SF5 and SF4 were, and Street Fighter games are usually very good at keeping a playable population.

It's up to aesthetic there. Do you want hyper-violence or spraypaint and hip-hop

Believe it or not im circulating around FInal fantasy 7 intergarde vs Street fighter 6.

I see mortal Kombat 1 it sux like 3/10 to me, mortal kombat 11 9/10

SF6 just won award best fighting game of 2023. Definitely SF6 is your best pick

sf6 - every character is unique in a way
mk1 - every character is basically the same with different skin and move sets; impact of each hit is basically the same, very robotic

just my opinion before any mk fans go coocoo for coocoo poops

I also asked myself the question of SF6 or MK1. Yesterday I decided on SF6.

1. I'm looking forward to being able to play old friends again.
2. The nice family-friendly basic atmosphere - no blood or killing scenes.
3. Modern controls - I only play for fun and I'm happy when I can play more relaxed in my old age without dislocating my thumb.
4. If I ever play online, SF6 probably has a very good netcode and crossplay - so if I need to, I'll definitely find enough players who are just as bad as me.

Hey welcome, hope you have fun. Don't let anyone discourage you from enjoying the game with modern controls.

If you want level up and ranked go SF6. If you want solo and story mode, go MK1

[DJukor]

MK Right now is heavily focused on just doing overly long combos whit assists.
SFVI is more grounded while still being kinda crazy at times.
SF is probably less frustrating to play overall and more beginner friendly.
Id argue it also has better SP content than MK1.

Wow awesome feedback for you all. Thanks!

(I don't know if this specific one got fixed or not but I keep seeing people post similar clips even now)

Damn and I thought Rashid combos were ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long, assist based games really are a special kind of degenerate.

mk1 on pc does not run well for me. it's not optimised at all. also it has less features than the previous mk. if you want a good story mode, play mk1, if you want a good multiplayer fighting game, get sf6.
