The only reason MKX and MK11 sold well.

I'd put much more blame on MK9 being pretty decent and surpassing expectations.
You can ride one really big success for a looong time.

It helped stepping away from a number and not having a goofy sub title. Numbers scare folks. “Do I need to play the other 15 final fantasy’s to get what’s going on?”

Idk the casual fanbase of MK can’t be overstated. Regular people don’t see them as fgs, they seem them are any regular type of video game. I know a ton of people who have bought Mk since Mk9 and they literally don’t even touch ranked online or care about the competitive scene. They just want to see the story and play single player content.

What’s it like being profoundly stupid?

Uhh. That’s not why they sold well.
It’s a known brand. Mother fuckers buy it anyway.
You gorms keep posting steamcharts but it’s just that - steam. How many times do you need to be told there’s other platforms.
Good chat as always. Keep on keeping on being retarded.

Every Mortal Kombat sells well, even the 3D era ones. If there's ONE thing that MK can say that it's better than any other fighter franchise, it's on sales.

I’m sorry, but this is such a dumbass take. Mortal Kombat has always been one of the best selling fighting games of all time because it is tailor-made to appeal to the most casual gamers. 90% of MK’s playerbase don’t even touch the multiplayer or play other fighting games

NRS keeps mindbreaking r/Kappachino. Some things never change

That's why other fighting games sold well and were played. Capcom basically shitting their pants non stop for 5+ years gave Tekken and anime/ArcSys games a huge boost.
MK is a completely different market, they were selling millions in the "dark ages", they'll still outsell SF6 even though SF6 is great and MK1 is halfass by definition.

"I need upvotes, I guess I can randomly hate on MK on Kappa? That seems to work."
I love how this shit was spammed so much that it's giving diminishing returns.

Its because of graphics, american celebrates endorsing it in ads, famous people voice acting, a michael bay story mode and american culture obsession with blood and gore.

lol SF6 really got niggas coming out of nowhere just to hate. Like bro NRS was 100% cookin when they made MKX stop makin shit up

SFxT is not neaaaarly as ass as MK you're trippin

People who generally don't play NRS games won't play NRS games even if Capcom games are bad

That's cope
Look at my history bro I'm a long time Mortal Kombat fan. Thats me realizing I have a problem a liking shit games problem.
SF and MK appeal to different demographics so doubt your conclusion
That explains your low IQ post, at least
