Capcom's Christian Svensson and Seth Killian made a few more posts on the Unity Boards recently, discussing various subjects from a Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter title to the U.S. release of the new SF4 series artbook.Are you guys ever going to do a Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat game?
Sven: Years ago there were discussions about something like this happening (during my time at Midway) that never came to fruition for various reasons. I'm not dead set against it BUT this [post] made me smile:
As for fatalities, it's really not that big of an issue; just alter them to be less "blood" and more "spectacle", and you'd basically have a list of Ultras. For example, Sub-Zero's Ultra might involve him slamming the other character around, freezing part of them with every punch/kick, then finish off with his trademark "Ice-ball", which shatters the ice, but leaves the character perfectly whole. It stays true to the character, without being mindlessly gorey. — Daemon Gildas
Sven: Have you met Ed Boon? :P (and I like and respect the Hell out of Ed by the way).
Are you going to release the Street Fighter 4 series official complete artbook in the U.S.A.?
Seth: [...] It looks highly likely that you will see a U.S. release. :D
Do you guys read stuff put into the Suggestion Box on Capcom-Unity, or is it just to make readers feel good?
Seth: [...] Well, it is to make you feel good, but we do actually read it, and we actually do stuff based on your feedback all the time. There are a lot of examples, but one recent one that springs to my SF-loving brain is that almost every significant feature of Super Street Fighter 4 was the direct result of fan feedback.
What are the requirements for SSF4 to become a 360 Games on demand title? Is there a minimum amount of time that has to pass after the title's release date?
Sven: There is indeed a time on the market required before consideration for that program is possible. Since I'm not sure what's public and what's not, I can't provide more detail than that.
Has Juri always been crazy, or did it happen with the whole Shadaloo and S.I.N. thing?
Seth: From everything I've seen on the character, it's not entirely clear, although she did seem to exhibit some psycho behavior before they crossed paths. So... "maybe."
Safe to say that at least it wasn't purely S.I.N. that turned her into what she is today.

Mk vs SF vs M vs SNK vs DoA
That would be a game i'd pay at least £23 for

The third question is the most important, but I wonder if the people at Capcom Japan actually get these ideas transmitted to them for review.
On the Street Fighter blog at capcom.co.jp, many players (both new and famous) post their opinions and questions in the followup portion and are responded to by Capcom staff later. Somehow I think American and European suggestions are kind of overlooked.

Mortal Kombat would destroy street fighter...and i love SF

i like the idea for Sub Zero's ultra but as for Fatalitys I belive that they would be in the range of MK vs DC except much more painful looking like sub zero would freeze the opponent and shatter there top half and someone like Cody would shank four or five times you like your in a prison yard and bison's psycho punisher seemed like a fatality just add some blood when bison inserts and removes his hand from the body

I say develop CvS3 with SSF4 features (keeping the whole groove selection) and forget the whole SF vs MK fantasy.

I'm a sucker for SF art books. Count me in.

Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter is along the lines of Mario vs Sonic, in being a long time argument that I'd like to be able to actually play out some time. Hopefully the idea can resurface sometime for reconsideration.

I think I'm alone in thinking these series should never officially crossover together in a game.
The comparisons of fans should keep as just that, comparisons.

SF vs MK-flash series was awesome but I never ever EVER want to see it happen for real. These franchises are just too far apart like Tekken vs SF. Just say no, people.
No.

MK is not worthy of SF.
MK is the gobots to SF's transformers.

I hope this never happens.

Mortal Kombat is a mature game. It should always stay that way and thats also why MK vs Dc failed. I hated the fatalities. Still cant wait for the new Mortal Kombat game next year.

Fatalities get old after awhile when they really serve no purpose to the actual fight. One thing I never liked about the MK franchise was the lack of responsiveness in the controls while the SF franchise has always been responsive with its controls.

MALDA
your krazy bro SF wont stand a chance, mabye ryu, bison, and akuma, but be real who else could stand a chance against the gods of Mortal Kombat?

Posted by CL93 on July 1, 2010 at 10:10 p.m. #22
To 1rreup and all the retards saying MK will "RAPE" Street fighter.........Get the hell outta here. Just like MALDA said, Akuma would rape the whole MK cast, and 1rreup there is like only 3 gods in the MK cast, the rest are noobs.
Posted by 1rreup on July 2, 2010 at 9:04 a.m. #23

MK have no chance with darkstalkers not even Rival School lol
Posted by h1tm0nl33 on July 2, 2010 at 11:39 a.m. #26
@Malda & 1rreup your both acting like retarded fanboys for one you expect me to belive that Cody a convict can kill Baraka a mutant inhabitant of another world with blades comming out of its arms with little to no effort and that Johnny Cage can beat Fei Long when he cant even beat Lui Kang i know you both disagree but i know one thing we can agree on is that Kitana VS Chun Li match better be a mud wrestling match

hey dude lick my balls what you think Cody is a normal person with no powers and strength you crazy but what show you that you dont know sh*t and the strength of the street fighter Characters and Lui kang will get own by Urien up the butt
Posted by MALDA on July 2, 2010 at 1:10 p.m. #28
Like I said they dont even have a chance with the darkstalkers or plasma sword characters not even samurai showdown
Posted by h1tm0nl33 on July 2, 2010 at 3:24 p.m. #29
...wow how about you attempt to learn how to speak decent English before you even try to insult someone that and what you are saying is pure fanboyisim plain and simple Cody cannot beat Baraka that's not to say Cody is weak I'm sure he could beat someone like Kano or Kabal but i WILL NOT say Cody or any character on either side is an untouchable golden god that cant be touched.

Dude sorry my inglish is not that good im from Aegentina at least you understand what I wrote but first Cody is on of the to fighters for Street Fighter Baraka is a low level fighter from MK and plus cody a Metro hero he Fought way better fighters then Baraka it will be a cake walk for Cody Dam Oro will beat there ass with one hand

Abd one more thin Kano and Kabal is stronger the Baraka read the dam comic and read the street fighter comics and you will see why SF is stronger there like a mini virgin of DBZ fighters

The following represents Juri's psycho behavior:
1. M.Bison(dictator)
2. Parents killed by Bison.
3. Her craving on seeing other people suffer what happen to her.

You guys ARE ALL HATERS! Are you guys seriously hating on such an awesome idea like Mortal kombat. I Love SF, Mk a little more. All of you guys are saying stuff like "Oh MK Sucks" have you ever even played it???? Maybe MK:2 for what, 2 seconds, and thought. Damn I'm going to pee my pants with this scary Sh**. Or, Wow boring. Play MK:3 and you will see how awesome it is. MK VS DC would be how MK VS SF would be. If you hated than you will hate this. Marvel vs capcom was praised, but MK VS SF wouldn't? Wow. Besides, knowing Hector, he was totally JK. Chillax and stop hating on such an amazing game such as MK. MK VS SF, IMHO, would be pretty bad, but for one reason. You SF fans who hate MK because its not Street Fighter. DO you liek anything Fighting besides Capcom or Namco? probably not.
