i remember traveling to an arcade far away with a friend after school to see this game the day it came out in 1992. that arcade closed down a decade ago sadly and is now an extended part of the modells sporting goods store.
hehe i used to play this when i was a kid, and i'd always talk smack to my challenger: "Come on, you weak little shrimp. Try me! I'll knock you intto next week, ya scum bag! Ain't so tough now, are ya, you foolish moron!"
Do you have any source to backup your claim that the concept of MK as it got released was established before SFII was even in development?
Not acknowledging SFII's influence on MK's success would at least be ignorant towards market mechanics. There are differences, of course, as simply they're not the identical game (i.e., one is called SFII while the other is called MK, so that's a difference already), but there are also many intersections such as the main concept.
@TechnoEstate I read that the concept of MK wasn't even originally from Boon and Tobias but from a developing team in another country and Boon "stole" the idea. This concept was sometime in early to mid 1990. It figures that I looked and looked for it but to no avail.
Now, what you're saying becomes extremely vague, considering that, again according to Wikipedia, the original concept appears to have been vastly different from the game that got released eventually. Also, it's unclear what "concept" is emcompassing here: using digitized actors? Making a real gorey fighting game? Making a SF1 rip-off? And so on...
The arcade graphics and SNES graphics are so different and the animations too. I prefer the SNES graphics. The arcade edition that they messed it up big time. SNES graphics and animations all the way.
"MK revolutionized fighting games." Hmm.. I kind of have to disagree with that. Sure MK brought to the table a manner of finishing moves, scenery interaction.. frills. SF2 has a fighting system that has been mirrored and improved upon since its release in a variety of games. I'd like to see the amount of fighters modelled on MK mechanics compared to SF2.
SF2 done more than revolutionised fighting games. It had a huge impact on the genre, and still has.
@tanadazfab They both revolutionized fighting games. Taking credit away from MK is nothing but blatant fanboyism. Both were the first of their kind, the first with their style. Regardless that more fighting games may have taken from SF, doesn't take away that there was NO GAME like Mortal Kombat at the time, and people loved it. It didn't borrow SF or any other fighter's engine. If you want to argue the better game, that is personal taste (I like both, but SF has a better engine).
@VNVNation2006 thx for the reply, I played and enjoyed both, sure I played one more than the other.. there was no "fanboyism" derogatory slanging match meant in my reply at all. SF2 done *more than revolutionised fighting games* doesn't mean "Mk is crap, SF2 ftw!".I gave props for MK, it brought new features to the genre, but one game done more. "was NO GAME like mortal kombat" I never said otherwise. Of course this is true. Not much space really in these comments.

Guile used to speak like he had a pair. From Super SF2 onwards, we can only conclude that he had a vivi or something.

Lawl at the BS move at 11:22. That was about 2/3s of your health. I guess that's why it's the Arcade edition.

Again, Wikipedia says: "Mortal Kombat started development in 1991"
Which, if true, would mean that SFII was developped in less than three months (!), if your claim was true.

The concept of MK originated before SF2 was even in development. You can't credit SF2 for MK's success. MK was over the top w/ it's fatalities.

@slimlover2001 This game came out just prior to MK. The concept of fighting games like this came long before SF2. MK revolutionized fighting games.

According to Wikipedia, SFII came out in March 1991, while MK came out in October 1992.
One year and seven months was anything but "just prior" back in the day.
