Based on everything you've seen so far, do you think this game will be taken as seriously street Fighter. I know its still a bit early but I know some of you may still have an idea of what to expect.
Probably not, because it doesn't have all of the moves that are way harder to perform than it needs to be.

I still think MK9 has the potential to be a tournament-grade fighter, well as far as I know because I haven't played yet, but I doubt it would be as popular in the tournament world as SF. I'm not really worried about it though because now I just play for fun.

Most definitely in my area at least. So I'd imagine in other places around the world it will be too. MK games in the past weren't even considered for tournament play because they lacked the depth that the more technical fighters had. This MK has shown us that they are ready to enter the tourny community. It's why EVO even recognized this and put them in this years big competition in Los Vagas.
This and the inclusion of frame specific punishments, combo branches, and pressure, I seriously can't wait to nerd-out on some frame testing and play amazing people offline/online.
I don't see why not. Back in the 90's I was one of those kids that hated SF simply because I love MK. I just feel that SF is unnecessarily complicated and to me complexity doesn't translate to a better game. Like Taj said, MK got accepted to EVO, so I think we're already there.

i agree with this...
Mortal Kombat will be a tournament fighter - and i think it has the potential to be a tournament worthy fighter for a long time. However the street fighter scene is quite large, and it would be hard to top it.
But this Mortal Kombat will have a big and consistant following i bet
So how many of you will seek out other players in your area and play this game like fighters should be played.....OFFline, hmmm???
Ive noticed a few similarities between MK9 and Tekken. Should be fun! I know a few of people from the other fighting commuities that are more than willing to try out MK9 but many MvC3/SSF4 players refuse to touch anything not made by Capcom. Whenever i bring up MK its always like: " Who cares dude MK ****ing sucks its all about blood and fatalities how childish is that!" They'll give in though lol. Im sure that they will suddenly have an interest around mid april.
