Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter - Build the Roster 

I really wanna see some MK characters looking at Blanka confused and then ask him "which part of the Outerworld do you come from?" And he just looks at them and answers "Brazil" and they all just look at him scared and take a step back.

Love the idea that Jamie’s MK groove is “he grabbed the wrong drink on the way out the door”

I love how Ed Boon has so many of these "...that's a story for another day." But, that day never ever comes.

Please let Akuma travel to every big fighting game just to smack every franchise around to prove hes the strongest. I need it

We probably going to get Mortal Kombat vs. Killer Instinct before a Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter game happens.

I love the idea of Q being in a MK style game. His fatality could be Q grabbing his opponent, doing his Total Destruction super, and after smoke from the explosion fall it would reveal a chrred corpse of Q's openent and Q being fine, slowly turning his head to look at the player.

Intro ideas: Ryu vs Liu Kang Liu Kang: “Your style is based around assassination?” Ryu: “My master’s style is more peaceful than its original intentions.” Liu Kang: “Show me what you can do.” Ryu: “You’re a Shaolin monk, right?” Liu Kang: “I assume you wish for kombat?” Ryu: “I would be honored to spar with you.” Liu Kang: “I can sense the murderous intent swelling within you.” Ryu: “Can the Shaolin help me suppress the Satsui no Hado?” Liu Kang: “The Shaolin offer help to all who’ve lost their way.” Ryu: “My Ansatsuken.” Liu Kang: “Against my Shaolin Wushu.” Ryu: “May the best warrior win.”

For Scorpion, Sub Zero and Raiden, they’ve also been in less bloody games (Injustice) so they can be programmed for a game like SF and it wouldn’t be too bad

because of all the guest characters, people have occasionally talked about a potential horror movie crossover made by netherrealm. That could be a fun episode.

So we're all in agreement that Zangief's fatality would be crushing his opponent's head between his thighs like Sparrow's egg right? ...maybe Chun Li too.

Imagine the pre fight dialogue. M.Bison: You wish to serve me? Kano: I was hoping to be your 5th king. M.Bison: Earn it. Juri: You look tasty. Mileena: You look delicious as well. Juri: If neither of us dies, we should get dessert. Jax: It's not too late to save you. Nash: How would you know? Jax: Because I've gone through something similar. Noob Saibot: Why have you rejected the satsui no hado? Ryu: I choose not to be powered by darkness. Noob Saibot: You chose unwisely, boy. Tanya: You better not be leading Mileena on, for nothing. Juri: So what if I am ? Tanya: Then I'll break your neck before you break her heart.

I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned for his part, but Necalli could easily be connected to Kotal Kahn and the Osh-Tekk, as they both have the Mesoamerican influence to them.

A Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter announcement will break the internet this game been wanted for 30+ years now and is still in high demand the fact this crossover hasn't even happen and it makes such a impact to this day a topic of these two legendary games crossing over are always brought up.

I bet the longest part of the writing process for these scripts is finding clever ways to transition from character to character, that's always my favorite part.

Some roster additions I'd like to make: Balrog: Seriously you can't have the SF roster without the punching man himself. Just because he doesn't entirely fit with the vibe of the roster doesn't make him any less brutal, the guy in lore had killed people with headbutts alone. Reiko: Okay yes he's not really popular but there's potential somewhere in his character. It would be interesting as surprising if he was revealed in the roster and at least both the 2021 movie and animated movie acknowledged his existence. Marisa & Sheeva: Okay, first of all Marisa is a character introduced in 6 that has also gotten popular, mainly by being the buffest woman in SF history and having a cool moveset. Aesthetically she fits with the MK characters too with her spartan gimmick. But that only brings in the opportunity to pit her against MK's strongest female character, Sheeva. Imagine a gladiatorial match between Marisa and Sheeva... awesome. Rolento: Listen if any character in Street Fighter has moves probably more brutal then Vega, it's Rolento. He blows you up with grenades and one of his supers has him *hanging his opponent with a wire...* yeah I'd say he fits the bill here. Ermac: I know you already brought it up in the video and I 1000% percent agree on having Reptile instead (because he's awesome). But at the same time... it's Ermac. also rounding out the roster with 4 colored ninja is nice. Also for guests fighters I had a more interesting idea then the Resident Evil characters... what about a Darkstalkers character? It would probably be a toss up between it being either Morrigan, Dimitri, or Jedah but with Capcom actively refusing to resurrect Darkstalkers this is the best acknowledgment they'll get. *[EDIT]* ADDITIONS DO TO LATER REVEALED CHARACTERS AND MK1 AKI: Probably the scariest newcomer so far. Almost fits in with MK's brutality perfectly. Lee Mei: Made a grand return with the flashy firework powers, I kinda like her a bit and aesthetically contrasts with AKI in fitting more with Street Fighter. (Probably more to come, Terry and Mai have blown things out of proportion...)

Imagining a Shang Tsung/ Dan Friendship finisher is the funniest thing I’ll never see

The most wanted crossover that will never happen, can't wait too see this

Akuma just travelling across different titles sounds so DAMN badass! Like after Tekken, he comes into MK, kicks Scorpion's ass and then leaves, and just keeps doing that. What'd make it better in my mind is it being the same Akuma from his various crossovers, and he just gets past around. Also when you started talking about crossover characters, I really thought you were gonna say Wolverine & Batman. One from MvC and one from DC vs MK.

Guile and Johnny both have a Van Damme connection too, that needs to be referenced in their dialogue somehow.

I love that Ryu's master is Goken, and Lui Kang's Master is Bo'Rai Cho.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1848">30:48</a> Low key if a Street Fighter character ever guest starred in Mortal Kombat, Bison would be a perfect fit. Man has some really brutal looking moves and don’t give a crap about anyone, he’d fit right in 😂 Edit: Akuma would be lit too 😅

I was so expecting Juri to be DLC, so her being the final character for the base roster made me smile.

So heres a dumb thought of mine. Imagine for Goro's SF ending he tries to learn a fighting style from a dojo hidden away with only whispers of its existence. And he keeps building up on how he stuggled at first he believes through this technique and other teachings of his teacher he can bring a new era of the shokan. Only to reveal that this technique was Saikyo-style karate and the teacher was Dan Hibiki with the monolog ending with a picture of both Goro and Dan doing the thumbs up Dan does after the legendary taunt.

What's great about Gill and Onaga making big returns as dlc is that you also have the parallels of their rivalries with the "New Gen" protags (for exactly one game) Shujinko and Alex. You could even have a rival cutscene where the two clash over control of the Kamidogu or if there was an Aftermath expansion, have Damashi as a major plot point for misleading the SF heroes and unwittingly helping this Deadly Alliance of the dragon king and leader of the illuminati.

Happy 3 years of Build the Roster! I never thought that Mortal Kombat x Street Fighter joke would become an actual episode of Build the Roster, but hey, this show was always full of unexpectencies. I dig this! 😎

For the arcade mode. It would be interesting if the final fight was dependant on the groove. Like the story could be m.bison and Shang stung teaming up. Then you can have the final fight start with a cutscene of one of them betraying and killing the other and stealing their powers. The one who does the backstabbing depends on the groove.

I think seeing Johnny Cage in his SF Groove ending being along the likes of Fei Long for a pseudo-Bruce Lee vs Jean-Claude Van Damme movie with Rashid as the director would be awesome. It cuts to the theater where those three are front row watching with cameos from Abel, Blanka, The Masters Family, The Cage Family, Fujin and Tremor watching in the background.

"The street fighter characters never seen anything like reptile before." *Looks over to blanka, Necali, Literal gods and monsters, like Gill Seth and they hang out with dhalsim a dude who stretches and shoots out fire.* Street fighter characters deal with alot of crazy than you'd think.

I'd love to see a "Build The Roster" for a potential Avatar: The Last Airbender fighting game! Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, etc. As apart of the starting roster and the expected choices. Iroh is playable, with the rest of the White Lotus and Roku being unlockable. The list goes on. Characters from Korra's time & Kyoshi's time would be DLC cases.

MK vs SF would be a interesting crossover. I can already see the rival battles. Jax vs Gulie, Sonya vs Cammy, Johnny vs Fei, Kano vs Balrog, Nightwolf vs T Hawk, etc.

If they wanted to test the waters putting akuma in mk12 and johnny in street fighter would definitely be a good experiment to get feedback and take a step towrds a full roster vs

I think an interesting idea for Q is that his appearance doesn’t change with the variation to add the mystery from a competitive view of which play style he’s using

You mentioned M. Bison's Psycho Power being wanted by people in the MK universe but completely missed that with Rose and her SOUL Power.

Love the idea of Ed Boon waking up in the middle of the night with a cold sweat, looking under his pillow and seeing a black envelope with red ink showing the symbol of the raging demon on it

"I'm going to break into your fighting game and make you feel unsafe." That just sounded so wrong😂

I feel Sakura could work in Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter if they want to explore her getting corrupted by her Satsui no Hado, I think the most I've seen that touched on with her was a Street Fighter comic where she fights Akuma and Akuma gets her to tap into her Satsui no Hado for a moment.

Since you talked about Akuma should appear in MK12, let's get Johnny Cage in SF6.

I agree that Necalli needs the biggest redemption ever. I don't even get why he was unpopular because everything about him rules. If SFV's story mode was so bad it diminished his mere existence then it's time to do a do-over.

Now that you mention it a Star Wars build the roster would actually be cool. It would be interesting to have both a mix of lightsaber and blaster characters and how each character would be different. Really hope this is the next one, loved this video.

I love that all the SF sections have iconic songs from the franchise, but for MK you had to pull up Killer Instinct lol

Ed Boon actually said Netherealm approached Capcom for permission to use Akuma as a guest character, but Capcom declined.

As long as Capcom can deal with the gameplay and NRS can write the story and do the cutscene, I'm in!

For the guest character my choice would be B. B. Hood/Buletta from Darkstalkers. Imagine characters from both sides wondering about a little girl in a cloak and going to save her only to see her break out a fatality on a Tarkatan and talk about collecting a bounty lol

Implementing Subzero and Scorpion is actually pretty simple, For the MK-Groove it’s there normal mk selves but for the SF-Grooves it’s their Injustice versions where they were toned down for those games

Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter Rivals/Counterparts 1. Liu Kang vs. Ryu 2. Kung Lao vs. Ken 3. Jax vs. Guile 4. Baraka vs. Vega 5. Shang Tsung vs. Sagat 6. Shao Kahn vs. Bison or Akuma 7. Shinnok vs. Gill 8. Quan Chi vs. Dhalsim 9. Kitana vs. Chun-Li 10. Sonya vs. Cammy 11. Mileena vs. Juri 12. Sindel vs. Rose

Gonna suggest this for a Halloween episode of Build the Roster. A horror movie fighting game. Ed Boon has even said he would have an interest in making a game like that. With Horror movie icons. Freddy, Jason, Michael, Leatherface, etc.

I feel a better versus would be Mortal Kombat vs Killer Instinct. That way you can do fatalities and let the gore flow. Imagine seeing Glacius vs Subzero or Cinder vs Scorpion. I think would be more epic. Stage fatalities and ultra combos and brutalities.

I feel like u should've included Ibuki or Zeku as a ninja from the street fighter to compare to the mortal kombat ninjas. Would be interesting to see how they interact with each other. Zeku would be interesting since u could make one old amd young a groove. For Ibuki she could use her items such as bombs and shuriken in street fighter groove and for mortal kombat she could use like her raida abilties and maybe add some other stuff.

Have 14 characters on each side making a total of 28 characters Mortal Kombat: Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Jax, Kano, Baraka, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Sonya, Kitana and Shao Kahn is unlockable. Street Fighter: Ryu, Ken, Guile, Zangief, E. Honda, Blanka, Dhalsim, Balrog, Vega, Sagat, M. Bison, Chun-Li, Cammy and Akuma is unlockable DLC Characters: Kabal, Smoke, Ermac, Reptile, Cyrax, Sektor, Goro, Shinnok, Fujin, Kenshi, Kotal Kahn, Jade, Mileena, Sindel, Guy, Cody, Rolento, Charlie, Dan, Gouken, Oro, Gill, Seth, Necalli, Juri, C. Viper, Rose and Sakura.

We should at least get a Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter comic book.

Watching after both SF6 and MK1 released. I can totally see the deal, but imagine Johnny Cage in Street Fighter 6 and Akuma in MK1

For Kitana's street fighter groove ending, it could finally have her reconciling with Mileena and the two moving forwards as sisters, and for Mileena's street fighter groove ending you could have her being convinced by poison to join her wrestling troupe.

Just imagine if this got announced at E3! *Ryu:* _“HADOUKEN!”_ _(someone we don’t see yet teleports away from the blast in a wall of flames, before showing back up behind Ryu)_ *Scorpion:* _“GET OVER HERE!”_ _(Scorpion throws his spear as the audience goes INSANE, with the screen cutting to black before the title fades in)_ *_MORTAL KOMBAT VS STREET FIGHTER_* *COMING 2024*

I feel Capcom should make their version of the crossover and NetherRealm do their version just like how Capcom made their own Street Fighter and Tekken crossover and Namco suppose to make their own version of the crossover.

and just imagine the costume swap like in SFXT. Juri in Mileena outfit, Chun Li in Kitana's, Cammy in Sonya's or Jade.

Zeku would've fit this format perfectly. He's literally two characters in one so his "grooves" would be his old and young sides as separate characters.

This was a pretty decent roster. I definitely would've included Dhalsim. It would be interesting to see how he'll interact with Raiden and the Elder Gods. And as for the Guest character definitely would've chose Jedah Dohma(Or Morrigan Aensland) from Darkstalkers. his moves fit right with Mortal Kombat and he also can cross between dimensions so there's that.

The thing i love about this compilation is that Zach constantly brings up the Herculad incident. He's never let it go, that one gaslight was so powerful it's haunted him ever since.

What Raiden should tell Rose regarding that sending a message thing: Make sure someone isn't trying to kill you, and you have time to send the full message. People keep forgetting Raiden literally was about to get his brain mashed by Shao Kahn so no way he could have told his past self what he needed in order to change the past

Please do not forget the star wars build the roster. That sounds sick.

Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter is a very interesting concept and Ed Boon been wanting this and still been wanting this to happen forever now but what about Mortal Kombat vs. Tekken 🤔

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3427">57:07</a> There's something funny about Necalli's theme becoming more intense the further down you went

Whilst I am a fan of both franchises, I have been always sceptical about how a crossover between SF and MK could work. But after watching this video I have definitely warmed up towards this idea! You do a good job of striking a balance between the two franchises to the point where I think a crossover between is somewhat feasible. As for characters I’d like to see, I think it would be really fun to see how brutal Marisa would be in this game. She already has a move in SF6 that looks like it would be perfect as an x-ray or brutality so I think she’d be a great fit. I can see her working as a rival for Sheeva with them both being strong Amazonian-esque women. As for potential guest characters, I think Jedah Dorma from Darkstalkers would be a great fit since he already has a pretty bloody moveset.

How about an episode dedicated to Sega vs Capcom? Could even have rival fights of some kind like Sonic vs x Akira vs Ryu Vectorman vs Megaman Gillius Thunderhead vs Sir Arthur Bayonetta vs Dante

"Tekken X Dead or Alive" is another crossover fighting game fans would like to see and could make for an interesting "Build A Roster" video in the future.

Just imagine the story

I like Stryker😊. But this is a great roster and I love how you tried to strike a balance between both styles which can't be easy.

Adding on to why Juri is perfect for this, cause I've been around since Street Fighter on SNES and she was the first character I ever got good with. - Wild card don't know who's side she'll join - Fake eye bonding with Cabal - Child that was kidnapped and turned into a weapon, perfect resume for the Lin Kuei initiative. - The First character to likely have a fatality that punts the opponents head off. Or will play hacky sack with it in a brutality. - Replaces Cassie Cage with posting her fatalities on social media.

This roster was the one I was waiting for the most, and it definitely delivered. When this episode got announced a few months back, I was so excited I wrote a whole design document on how this game could work. Used the TxSF episode as a basis for it. Despite both of these being written out independently from each other, it's cool to see how much overlap there was. A two-groove system, ArcSys-inspired finishers, even some of the rival matchups. While I had more characters at face value, you implemented the groove system in a way that pretty much doubled your whole roster size, which is way cooler. And having Necalli get in to fix that wasted potential is an excellent idea and I'd love to see it. I do wish a couple more 3D/NRS era characters could have gotten in, but that's personal nitpicking. 10/10 episode, Thorgi, great job!

I’ve always wanted to see MK try a more stylized style of violence. Less hyper realism that makes your animators get PTSD (Jesus Christ…) and more super stylized like classic ultraviolent anime like Ninja Scroll and Berserk.

Kinda sad that Stryker is not in this hypothetical crossover game, like I know he's not the most popular character, but I REALLY just want to see him interact with Leon Kennedy.

Definitely an interesting main Roster and list overall. Also Thorgi, I know you said during your video that you didn’t really use the “rival”/“counterpart” thought process when making this list, but I think it actually proves more beneficial and interesting when you have. Imagine the counterparts between these 2 franchises on the main roster. Cammy/Sonya. Jax/Guile. Chun-Li/Kitana. Johnny Cage/Fei Long. Luke/Cassie Cage. Bison/Shao Kahn just to name a few. I feel it synergizes more when making lists like these

I really like Build the Roster because it helps me learn a bit about fighting games as someone new to playing them and I get to learn about a bunch of cool characters. Can’t wait for the next episode

Would love a Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter game this dream is as big as a Marvel vs. DC game or movie. Do a horror fighting game build a roster!

A year later, I still love this video. Nicely done all around.

I actually thought about who would be good matchups against each other for a while way before you announced this video. You already mentioned Vega vs Baraka and Juri vs Mileena, but others I came up with are: Ryu vs Lui Kang (main martial arts hero character with dark sides) Ken vs Kung Lao (friendly rival to the martial arts guy) Chun-Li vs Kitana (important female character in blue) Cammy vs Sonya (blonde military woman hell bent on shutting down an evil organization) Guile vs Jax (male military man who also wants to shut down the evil organization and often partners up with her) Nash vs Scorpion (pissed off guy who comes back from the dead for revenge) Rose vs Ermac (both use souls as the basis for their power) Rashid vs Fujjin (funny wind guy) Poison vs Kano (leaders of evil gangs) Urien vs Shang Tsung (right hand to a big boss guy but have their own ambitions for ruling) Gill vs Shinnok ("gods" who want to rule over the world(one for peace, one for death and destruction)) but probably my favorite: Sagat vs Goro. Both disgraced champions of the tournament from the first game, fueled by a vendetta to get even. But while Sagat eventually moved on and got better, Goro never truly did.

I've been waiting for this episode to come for YEARS! Man I'm gonna watch it all in one go!

I’m gonna be honest, Baraka is the character that got me into MK.

You know, thinking about non-gory finishing moves for Street Fighter characters reminds me of the cancelled game Capcom Fighting All-Stars and how it was supposed to have end round finishing moves like non-gory fatalities. I know there isn't much footage of the game, so we can't really tell how they were supposed to play out, but giving Street Fighter characters finishing moves was almost a thing at one point.

If by the grace of the elder gods we ever got an MK vs SF game, it would NEED to open every match with the unique match-up dialogue we see in MKX and 11. The potential character interactions alone would sell this game to me. Also, an idea for Sub-Zero's groove. His MK style could be Bi-Han making a return as the original sub-zero, but has a couple moves based off Noob like a teleport grab or sending an ice sculpture of himself at the opponent, which are both things he can canonically do before he was turned into Noob. That way you could get a bit of that Noob Saibot love without a whole extra character and bring back the original sub-zero in his classic attire. Meanwhile the street fighter style could be Kuai Liang as the grandmaster, unmasked and having more classic Sub-Zero moves like the ice ball and slide attack

Great video with sound reasoning. But you had me worried by putting Mileena and Juri so late into the roster. It was very tense. And I agree that they need to be best murder friends.

Do a Build The Roster about SEGA vs Capcom.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="72">1:12</a>:36 Hearing you want Leon in here as a Guest Character, those Mouse memes came to mind... except now they're starring Milenna. Mousleena: "Leon, would you cheese help me? I'd appreciate your aid taking over Cheddearth Realm..." In all seriousness... beautifully done as always, Thorgi. This was worth the wait.

Ideas for the instakill moves, or as I'm gonna call them, Fatal Kombos: -Ken's Shoryureppa, but each uppercut shatters the opponent's jaw. The final Shoryuken causes an audible neck snap and sets the opponent on fire. As a sort of reference to Darkstalkers (which was ultraviolent in its own way), have the opponent turn into a pile of bones if they get KO'd. The same thing could happen if you use Ryu's Denjin Hadoken to finish off an opponent. -Combine Scorpion's three most iconic finishers. He makes the opponent GET OVER HERE, then grabs them by the neck, and takes off his own face to reveal a flaming skull, setting his opponent on fire. -Cody could have a finisher referencing B.B. Hood's command grab in Darkstalkers. He jumps behind the opponent, then slices their neck. Blood spurts everywhere like an old samurai film. -Johnny Cage just does Makoto's ballbusting ultra combo from Street Fighter 4. -In fact, most of the super stylish combo attacks from Street Fighter's history could very easily be translated into bloody Mortal Kombat style finishers. M. Bison, for instance. -Although, it'd be a bit harder to think of less-violent finishers for the Kombatants. Characters like Sub Zero and Raiden would be easy, but what about Shao Khan or Baraka? I suppose they could combine super moves from other Street Fighters. For example, have Jax do Fei Long's Rekkashinken then finish with Balrog's Gigaton Blow. He has metal arms, his Fatal Kombo _has_ to be a series of punches. I mean, one of Shang Tsung's Fatalities in MK9 was literally just Joker's Fatality from MK vs DCU.

I got so scared you weren’t gonna do the Mileena Juri dream match for a sec 😅

I have an idea for another obscure, but hype as hell boss on the SF side! Granted, he's not *from* Street Fighter, but he's a dimension-traveler with aspirations to destroy everything and start anew, would fit *perfectly* in the MK world with his gruesome fighting style, and his last appearance was also a crossover where SF characters appeared, and I'd hate for *that* to be his last time to shine: Jedah from Darkstalkers (Granted, he'd be hard to dismember with his regeneration abilities, and the fact that he literally does it to himself to fight, but that's kinda what Havik's doing based on his recent reveal) Plus if you wanted a more silly guest character, they revealed a Jean-Claude Van Damme costume for Johnny Cage, and that's just too obvious NOT to translate over. But would he play more like Johnny, or Guile?

Clearly, Zangief's finisher would be to crush man's head like sparrow egg between thighs

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2457">40:57</a> For “Akuma as MK DLC” thing, I don’t think Capcom would sign off on having animations of one of their biggest characters being reduced to a crimson floor stain on screen.

when you said “a guest character from the Capcom catalog”, i was really hoping for a Jon Talbain from Darkstalkers

So happy your doing this must watch this!!!

You could have a story of Blanka being tempted to join the outworlders, but ultimately deciding to be a hero.

The story interaction ideas add some amazing spice to this whole video! Like, you SOLD me on the [Spoiler for the video] Vega/Baraka interaction

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="65">1:05</a>:10 Actually Thorgi, Blaze concept is much more important in the MK universe: He's a creation of an elder god who saw that the larger number of warriors and their powers would eventually cause damage in the reality. So to prevent that, he created Blaze so one of the warriors could defeat him and recive the powers of god. This could play a big role in the crossover, with Blaze awakening being a result of the presence of Street Fighter characters in the Mortal Kombat universe. Blaze could eventually call the attention of both Bison and Shao Khan (or Shang Tsung), who want to defeat him and obtain the power of god. So the plot of the crossover could be the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat warriors teaming up to defeat stop the villains from achiving their goal.

I’ve been asking for a SF vs MK build the roster for so long. The ultimate dream game

Love the idea of shafting stryker even more. First he died and gave way to cassie, now hes just a cameo, adding leon would be the biggest f you imaginable and im all in for it

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2516">41:56</a> Just putting this here so I can relive this moment because I never though Back To Rise would work so well for Johnny in this scenario

I gotta say, no Luke feels a little weird especially if Jamies there, no? He has a pretty brutal fighting style and would make a fun counterpart to Cassie

The whole "no violent video games in Japan" thing seems extra silly when you look at some of the violent-ass anime that's come out of that country. Why is people exploding into showers of blood okay as long as it's not interactive?

Killer Instinct’s ultimates would be a better example of fatalities that can be done in combat and are deadly without hyper-violence. For an SFxMK game, Killer Instinct vs Mortal Kombat would be a better crossover.

"another reason to include Mileeena, she would make a great rival fight for the last Street Fighter character..." me seeing the black screen : "SODOM ! He also has a sai !" screen shows a tire "i am half sad and half happy"
