Kia, good read, nice job. You need to do a Part II and delve into the next gen **** and the misrep of weapons (Soul Caliber) and the "cross-training" **** found in MK-4.....or was it 5.

You know though, despite it all....

Tekken is probably the most realistic 'fantasy' fighting game around, despite the bullshit.

Atleast it kind of looks real.

Oh Gawd, I've never seen such a horrible depiction of Tang Soo Do, Hapkido and Judo that was as bad as in MK.

I can't believe you didn't mention how Tekken 4-5's Craig Marduk is just another one of those bad MMA stereotypes....and slow as ****.

What? No love for the VF series?

Where else can you have ninjas fight luchadors without those meddlesome fireball attacks?

There were other things I wanted to get in there, but I didn't want it to be too long, ya know? It's a fun-sized candy bar, like you get for halloween.

Oh, fighting games. What's not to love? Except for the lack of research by Midway when making Mortal Kombat. Even the most imaginative nerd would say no to Kung Fu if the midway version of Hung Gar actually existed.
