2. who would the delveloper be?
well of course all the MK fans would say "well the MK engine is best" and the SF fans would say "well its a no brainer, the SF engine is best." so there is a problem there. does Capcom use MK characters, or would Midway use SF characters? that would be hard to solve.


Great point on this one. With Ed seeking their permission for the net MK game, it most very likely would have been Midway doing the work, which, I believe, would have caused quite the ruckus.

ya but if this sort of thing happened there are a few questions that you have think about:
1. why do games like Marvel vs. Capcom and MK vs. DC work? well because one franchise's characters come from comic books only, and one comes from video games only. they have nothing to do with each other, and their would be no debate on what fighting engine to use because you would obviously use the video game companies engine.

2. who would the delveloper be?

making a game like this is like making a Nintendo vs. SEGA fighting game. two video game companies coming together and making a fighting game just cant work...


1. They work only because of gameplay. I mean come on, no one liked Iron Man because he's IN it only because he can whip out a big ass proton cannon and make the screen look pretty while doing a decent amount of damage, more beautiful if Gambit or Morrigan is with him. lol
2. A 2D capcom style of MK would look weird and seriously, look at Capcom's attempts of a 3D fighter. I can imagine how weird MK characters would look if featured in SF IV. So most likely Midway would be doing that part.

2: Same deal as with Capcom & SNK: Each company made their own versions of the crossover (Capcom vs SNK & SvC Chaos)

..oh and Mario & Sonic at the olympic games IS Nintendo vs SEGA, just not ALL fighting...

No. MK doesn't need to carry its competition.

and to the above - Sega is no longer a rival, it has essentially just become a namesake, as their characters appear on more than one system.

Even though I think MK vs SF would be a very bad move, but would be more realistic than DC characters. Atleast SF is another fighting game, not some stupid old school tights wearing superman and friends. No one likes them anymore, thats why DC was desperate to do this with MK. DC has been loosing fans for years and they want to get the next generation of kids into them. And no better way to do that then merge with something that is popular today. Midway was just stupid enough to bite the hook.

I think you, by mistake, switched the names of Midway & DC around.

DC don't need this, MK does (they really do need all the help they can get in the story/new characters-department... gameplay too, but DC can't help there).
