Matt and Woolie have posted a new episode of their web series Fighterpedia.

In this episode they talk about Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter and how it should happen. They even get thoughts from former Street Fighter 2 staff member James Goddard who designed Dee Jay to get his thoughts on how the game should be be created.

Street Fighter needs to seriously bootleg the MK story mode

While I support the "theory fighter" game they're playing here, I don't think we should entertain this idea in any sort of serious, petitioning manner.

MK, and KOF for that matter, are series that are far below SF's level in turn's of audience size and profitablity. The odds of Capcom teaming with anybody these days could only be large, billion-dollar companies.

Games like ...
1. NintendovsCapcom
2. DCvsMarvel
3. CapcomvsKonamivsSNKvsMKvswhatever.

I had high hopes for Soul Calibur V having a story mode like MK9. You should have seen my WTF face on launch day when I started playing it.
SF with a similar story mode.....would be somewhat cheesier than MK9. I would like to see that.

The ONLY other game MK can Possibly team up with and be successful is Killer Instinct. That's the only other fighting game that males sense with MK. And of course DC vs Marvel. Other then that... Stick to the original series. AND BRING CHARLIE BACK ALRDY! K thx.

If this happens Capcom will surely milk the way out of it with a rushed, unpolished game with a serious lack of content.

This NEEDS to happen ASAP.
^button system, street fight IV playstyle + MK Story = WIN.

I could care less for a MKxSF, but sorry folks if the game was made it would be successful because both have a great number of fans. MK is actually a really good franchise. But like I said, that's a crossover I don't care about seeing any more than SFxT.

I rather see: Marvel vs DC or Marvel vs DC vs Shonen Jump!
I would also like a Cap vs Snk 3 and a Cap vs Sega would be a better crossover. Yeah, those are less likely to happen.

Whenever they make SF5, I am really hoping Ryu and many other characters gets a brand new look and have their classic design as an unlock-able. The SF characters need an update for me that's for sure. Most fighters seem to update the look, well at least the full 3D ones. It just keeps it fresh and new.

I know how to make the fatalities work without bating an eye to your classic SF characters.

Makethe sf cast IE everyone is a version of themselves, Evil Ryu, Violent Ken, Evil Sakura, Evil Dan. Oni Akuma/Shin Akuma.

The baddies can stay bad. Bison,Balrog, Vega etc.

Oh and I don't care for those DLC costumes for SF4 AE and etc, just give them some brand new look and also more new moves for SF5 characters.

Why does eventhubs.com even repost this garbage? Nothing in these videos is ever instructional or chalked with analysis. It' s reminds me of people I would never hang out with and how I'm glad I don't have facial piercings.

The title should be it shouldn't happen, Mk is a dying game and it doesn't mix with SF. We all know in tournament Mk is child plays size pools. If these guys really want to talk they should talk about having Snk vs Capcom 3 now that something to talk about.

Virtua Fighter vs Tekken, and Marvel vs DC need to happen if not in this generation of consoles, then for the nextgen, of course tekken x street fighter needs to come out first. Oh and they should make a 3-D Rurouni Kenshin weapons-based fighting game with Soul Calibur's engine in it. That's my ultimate wishlist.

In the thousands, maybe even millions of years mankind will walk the earth, this IS going to happen sooner or later.

I'm crossover burned out. I'd rather just a regular fighting game, like Street Fighter V or Rival Schools 3, than another crossover. Give it a rest already.

If this did happen I cringe to think of the reception between the two communities. "Aw its not mk I hate this game it sucks." or "Aw this is not sf I hate this game it sucks." My head is still spinning over the amount of hate sfxt gets.

OK, i support this, but IF by ANY chance it happens, expect it to not have real finisher's. i'm guessing most of you already know that.

if it doesn't happen, the one game which it could work out best with is MK vs Killer Instinct, which matter of fact we need a stand-alone remade KI game first.

Not a fan of MK, but I would throw money at MK vs KI or a KI3. Killer Instinct was my ish on SNES.

Capcom should only crossover with SNK for CvS3. Or a PSN/XBL online edition of CvS2

There is one way to make this game kind of a reality if you guys ever herd of a Card Game Company called Score Entertainment they made a fighting game card game called epic battles. Not to be confused with UFS the first two sets were Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. The card game was actually a very good build of how an actual video game could have come together. They also did a set for tekken 5 and a dark stalkers set but the dark stalkers set was never released even though it was ready to ship Score Entertainment Just went Under because of the Economy at the time if any of you want to know what this is i could show/explain it to you you can message me preferably on youtube, here is one of my video links just message me from here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjVEMo...

SF vs. MK would be kinda whack, but SF vs. Killer Instinct might actually be pretty sweet. Killer Instinct was never as much about the gore as MK was, so you could really just take it out anyway. Not to mention the soundtrack would be AMAZING!

The beginning of the downhill plunge for these guys was when they first showed their faces. The first two videos were truly onto something that was as funny as it was informative. Not to say that their recent vids have lacked research but they have either lost the scope of their initial vision or they never understood what they had in their hands and let it slip by.

No way, i dont want to see or play MK vs SF..

Street Fighter vs King of Fighters or Capcom vs SNK 3 is the only fighting game from Capcom that i am looking forward to

The idea that no one seems to get is that netherrealm would have their own game and so would capcom.
capcom version:
-no fatalities (gory ones, at least)
-6 button layout

netherrealm version:
-4 button, block and run layout
-fatalities
-good story

those are the main differences in my opinion.
