Um, no you're definitely not kiddo. I think you're misunderstanding us when we are saying "depth". Tekken is a very frame specific game that revolves around the 10frame jab and 16frame launcher system. The developers of the game made it so attacks are tailored frame-wise for competitive players to , setup, frame trap, or give the opponent the false sense of advantage on block. They had the pro players in mind when making the game and balanced it thus. Even with all this, a button masher or casual player could still have fun playing.
Mortal Kombats from MK4 and on have stunk depth wise. The developers made it tailored for people who don't usually play fighting games. All the games in the eyes of tourny players of Tekken and SF were just block and punishes and out spacing. That's not enough for replayablity, even if they added a million combos into it.
Okay, now you just need to relax dude. You're making yourself look ridiculous.
Honestly take a step back and look at what your saying and think.

Johnathan Isler sounds hella familiar. And the Hworang doesn't ring a bell.
OMG YES I REMEMBER NOW!!!! Yea I definitely ran into Johnathan ALOT on ranked. Me and that guy had a grudge for a while lol. Why were you him? I don't remember him EWGFing too much as Jin, but he had some nasty setups. That would be beyond crazy dude. I play Roger Jr(mainly) and Dragunav, do you remember me?

Haha nah thats not me just the dude on my friends list whos always braggin about his Jin on ranked match. I was wondering if he's as good as he claims haha. I tried to get really competitive in Tekken and the highest I could reach on the leaderboards for my character was #8 with Kazuya. Ill try again when TTT2 comes out though.
LOL yes. yes I did
(mine is better though:twisted

Yea TekTag2 is going to be SOOOOOOO GOOD AHHH >_<!!!!
What makes me even more excited is that the popularity, overall speed, and gameplay of MK2011 will convince more people to play TTT2 when it comes out. Tekken and MK are my loves in life from this year on lol. Too hot.

I certainly hope it does! I have to say that now is the best time to be a FG fan. Hasnt been this good for us since 98' LOL

Yea exactly. That's why we should all be thanking Street Fighter 4 for making fighting games a bit more common for the general public. Now all these old school fighting franchises are stepping up there game to the PS3 and Xbox360. If all goes well this MK will be SUPER SUPER popular and spawn some fighting game revolution. That shit would be a dream.

I agree with you dude!
The only fighting games I play, besides Mortal Kombat, are King Of Fighters and Tekken. I don't remeber his name but I am good with this guy from Tekken that kan like grow bat looking wing and he has like spiky kinda hair.
I guess this post is more focussed on the characterisation in these games.
There's no question whatsoever SF4 is a very deep and complex game, the same is true for games like the Tekken and Virtua Fighter series. Leaving aside what happened post-UMK3 because I stopped following the series at that point, I think the characterisation and theme of Mortal Kombat has always been more mature, and simply more interesting to me. The characters in it are unique, diverse, appealing and distinct. It's not the gore, but the darker theme fiting the context of a fighting game very nicely. I suppose in the past you could seriously question the view that the characters we're all 'distinct', when all the characters normal moves were basically copy and paste, but come MK9 that is no longer the case.
In SF4 you have nearly a quarter of the roster as shoto variations of some sort. There's no question they all play completely differently, but if I choose a different character I want more than just variations on hadoukens or stuff like that. More that that though a lot of the characters strike me as somewhat 'childish' in many respects. I mean Guile I used for a bit and I always liked Guile as a character and there are certainly other great and interesting characters too like C.Viper but there are other characters where the design just does not appeal one bit in the context of what they're doing; fighting. I mean Sonya in MK as a military type I can accept as vaguely believable, Cammy as little commando girl is just silly. The same can be said for Ibuki as Ninja girl or Sukura as schoolgirl wannabe Ryu clone. And it's not just the female characters either, Hakan is just a stupid disgusting character period and Dan is just plain shit.
I suppose it's the same thing that puts me off games like Tekken in a way. Giant pandas? Really? Out of the two big 3D fighters I always leaned toward Virtua Fighter because I found the characterisation better. I know there's a cultural barrier here but I think context is important, and if I feel the characters don't fit into the context of the universe it puts me a off a bit.

Heh you didn't try to land the combo on Phoenix I imagine.
MvC 3 is a good game, not as deep as SSF4 but it's as much interesting. And I am not mentioning the variety in the roster and the freshness of the graphics. It's also more accessible to the casual players or even newbies in VS fighting, (they enable simple mode and wage world war II).
People please !! Stop saying Street Fighter isn't deep, etc... Your personal opinion is biased due to your lack of knowledge of VS fighting game history. You might not like it, but Street Fighter defined the fighting genre back then and is still defining it today with the complexity of the last SF released. Some worldwide pros still consider SSFIIturbo to be the best tournament fighting game ever created.
Share your opinion but stay true to how history was created.
Dan is to SF what Cage is to MKfade said:

This game has amazing competitive fighting mechanics. It so goddamn smooth, watch the first time you guys play it you'll know what I mean. It's unexplainable. Think of MKII but with the speed of UMK with dash instead of run. Trust me this is the MK that puts the franchise in major tournaments.
Oh yeah, you can't **** with my Johnny! I happened to win the tournament today at the truck tour, picture of me with the guy who was working there is coming soon, as well as my interview with Mahalo games.
I really hope that wasn't a derogatory statement. I don't know who the hell Dan is, but Johnny Cage is and will always be a monster. Not to toot my own horn but I destroyed everyone that was using Scorpion, Sub-Zero, or Mileena at the Truck Tour. It wasn't even fair.
