While it does sound like a great idea, i think the final product would be no better than MK vs. DC...it would literally be the exact same kind of game, cept with SF character's instead of DC guys.
Just like DC, there is No way Capcom would ever allow their characters to have their heads ripped off or anything that would "taint" the SF franchise....
The way i look at it, both franchises are healthy and growing independent of each other...there is no real "need" for them to merge bc lets face it....while game developers, producers and exec's have a love and passion for making the games, the bottom line is $$$$...with both franchises being healthy and growing, why would they want to risk harming their brand......especially given the poor showing of their last experiment Mk vs. DC.....
I'd say no, but I hit yes. 'Cause seriously, as much as the adult in me knows the two games are not compatible in theme or story, the little 90s kid in me has wanted it to happen since before "Vs" fighting games even existed. In my opinion SNK was never a true competitor with Capcom, and Mortal Kombat (at least in the US) was the only franchise who could compete in the 90s.
How would you guys feel if they did it the same way Namco and Capcom are doing Tekken and SF? Like, what if the MK team did an M rated game with characters who actually would and could kill their opponent at the end of their matches, and the Street Fighter team made a T rated game with a more Street Fightery art style?
This is the only way it could reasonably work without compromising the inherent essence of each game. You do an MK vs SF where characters rip each other apart, blow each other up, etc ; ord knows most of the moves in SF are already lethal-looking enough, just look at some of the Ultra Combos! Then you do an SF vs MK where the MK cast has particularly brutal (no gore, just really hard-hitting aesthetically) Super/Ultra moves or whatever.
Only way it could possibly be done without sucking.
People have got to stop the hate on MK vs. DC it beat all other MK games in sales bar MK2. If anything MKDA/MKD/MKA were poor experiements, MKvDC was actually quite good for MK's sales let alone gameplay.
I personally think think one of the biggest reasons MK vs. DC was semi successful is bc that was the only MK available on the next gen systems with next gen graphics and game play....Yes, MK2 was available on ps3 but that's obviously very old and UMK3 on 360 but again, an old game....
Plus also the lure of "oh this game could be hot, just like MvC", i think attracted a lot of people but after it's release, i'd say most people would agree that the game overall was underwhelming...i remember seeing the used copies at game stop pile up and how low the used price was after only being out a few months....
