Ed Boon tried to make Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter

Ed Boon, creator of the hugely popular Mortal Kombat series, has revealed to VideoGamer.com that he tried to make Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter but "ran into a road block".

"We made phone calls," he said. "But Capcom is in Japan, and with the distance, there's communication gaps and what not. It just never panned out. It would have been very cool."

Its interesting that instead of going with another fighting game he went to DC. It doesn't sound like they tried very hard, but I guess it makes it easier integrating different characters, and they wouldn't need to merge with another developing studio for the project.

wow it would have mad allot more sense to do it with street fighter.
i mean come on both mk and street are both about the fighting
DC hero?
there guys are more for children, and to me there more of saving the world.

have they done DC vs Marvel yet? cause if they didnt that what DC shouldve thought
and MK shouldve pushed more towards the street fighter idea

Mortal kombat is crap. Dont want it anywhere near Street Fighter.

Seriously doubt it can come near to the greatness which was MARVEL VS CAPCOM.

5 - Im sorry...
but even though Marvel vs Capcom is fun to me it was overrated. Like someone else said on another site it was like you throw a punch, wait five minutes for the combo to end and then the cpu do a punch then you have to wait for his 10 minute combo to be over that was it.

And Nitrowolf for you to say dc is for kids, You definitely do not read any of their comics such as Black Adam, Sinestro Corp, all of the Crisis books and a whole lot more of their books I do not feel like mentioning are definitely not kiddie stories.I bet you will be their opening night to watch The Dark Knight and that movie for damn sho dont look like a kiddie movie.

Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter two of my three favorite fighting games the other being Tekken are just as kiddie and cartoony if youwant to put it that way, to me Mk1 was the most serious toned out of the Mk games made. It had the realistic looking motion captured characters and the more serious not as overly over the top fatalities the the latter games of the series. I for one am excited about this game being both a Dc and Mk fan and I bet this is a stand alone franchise for them while they make Mk8.

I think the Idea of MK VS DC might be good. But need more info on the game. Because right now the game will not be M and many things that made MK great will be taken out so that sucks.

So I think if MK VS SF was to happen the game would have been M plus the game would have been really great. So it sucks to think what could have been with MK VS SF. I just hope in the future Midway trys harder to get this match up. Because in my mind MK VS SF would be awesome.

6.1 - I think that would have been cool but...
They probably would have ran into the same or worst situation that is going on with Dc. Im pretty sure capcom would not want their characters heads ripped off by Mk characters and dont forget with Mk and Sf you would have two development companies at each other throat fighter for who makes the control scheme lol for example,Mk dev might would have wantd to use their dial up control scheme while St dev would have wanted to use all the half circle this with a button combination lol
