Ed Boon says Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter ran into a road block |

Road blocks. We run into them from time to time in this game called life. When that happens, we often just change course. Such was the case with Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon. He had originally wanted to make a Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter game, but he ran into...you guessed it: road blocks.Boon said that he had tried contacting Capcom about working on a crossover game involving the two fighting franchises. Even then, the distance problem (Capcom is in Japan) made for a bit of a communication gap. Ultimately, thing's didn't quite pan out.
Despite the disappointing turn of events, Boon is still very much excited about the Midway crossover game that will be pushing through: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. As he put it:
I've always wanted to cross MK over since about MK4, or something like that. I'm a big fan of all of the other fighting games, Street Fighter, Tekken, what not. I always thought, wouldn't it be cool to have MK vs. SF and MK vs. Tekken and what not. We pursued some of those ideas to the extent that we could but we always ran into some kind of road block and couldn't do it.

mk vs primal rage would be just a blast. I would like to see how Goro vs Sauron be like while kept in real scale (yeah, that dot.. you see that dot on the screen? That is Goro... look closer)

Never heard of it? You should be grateful. Worst $4 spent ever! It wasnt even worth the plastic it was put into...
How bout MK Vs Virtua Fighter, MK Vs ANY SNK Game or even Battle Colisseum, MK Vs Time Killers... theres a TON of fighting games.

clay fighter was good for a break from the serious tone of other fighters at the time. however i agree, the last one wasn't as good as the first 2.
i had forgotten about primal rage, that would be an awesome combo.
killer instinct would be good aswell, it was the only real competition for MK in the ultra violent category.
i would sooner spend $60 on a game that had characters from most of the games of the golden age of fighting games, than GTA9/4 or whatever they are calling it....

which wiped the floor with MK, MK is ***** and always was the only thing that made it interesting was blood and death moves
streetfighter is another story and the only game better than gta!

I could sooo picture it. Baraka pwns Helga the viking opera singer! Or... would it be the other way around? LOL
Dude, Clayfighter... major flashback right here. I could remember bustin' my thumbs playing that game (as I did with Killer Instinct - hehehe, Cinder was my fave). Absolute BLISS!
