""Those things are just part of the three-decade-long rivalry between Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. To me, it's just fun. It's a fun thing to kind of rile everybody up on.""
""But honestly, I'd love to see them both do well, just because there's an audience for more, which would be great.""
""Fighting games aren't a dying breed by any means- Invincible Vs. just came out last month- but the mainstream appetite for the genre isn't what it once was.""
""Evo, which just held its latest event in Japan, is a perfect example: fans of multiple fighting game franchises competing under one roof as respected peers and ambassadors for the genre.""
The rivalry between Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat remains strong, especially with the release of new live-action films. Ed Boon, co-creator of Mortal Kombat, views the competition as fun and expresses hope for both franchises' success. Despite a decline in mainstream interest, the fighting game community is vibrant, as seen in events like Evo, where fans celebrate various franchises together. The introduction of crossover characters, such as those from SNK's Fatal Fury series into Street Fighter 6, indicates a growing collaboration within the genre.
