...Because when Capcom and Warner Brothers use excuses like "licensing" when we all know the two companies have tons of money and then use an excuse like developing a fighting engine to satisfy both fan bases. 

Both companies have to realize something. 

Both fighters are looking for momentum again. 

 Capcom seems to be enjoying very strong sales when it comes to Street Fighter IV. It sold 3 million copies on consoles alone. Even if the PC version has 500k total between retail and Steam, that still puts this game well into successful territory. Mortal Kombat may have lost staying power but the World Warriors seem to be going strong.

Capcom did, by largely ignoring the third iteration of the franchise and turning back to the second entry as a continuing point (much like Superman Returns did).

I think Capcom has already done this with Street Fighter IV, two movies (one animated, one live action) and an on-going comic book, among other merchandise. Street Fighter isn't hurting for popularity.

The new Street Fighter movie sucked while the next Mortal Kombat is filming this fall. 

I think it would be awesome if the two companies worked on a deal where the two companies in a joint fashion help create an AWESOME fighter with a rich storyline. 

Just imagine Akuma crossing realms into Scorpions Hell.

Ryu vs. Lui Kang in the Temple of Light 

This has greatest written all over it. 

It isn't really about licensing conflicts. It is the fact that outside of the realm of fanboy driven aspirations, the franchise would not make much sense in terms of plot or gameplay mechanics. The end result, no matter how well developed, would  be sloppy. If you really want to see Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter (and how horrible the lack of balance would be), I suuggest you go find M.U.G.E.N. and fill it with various Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter characters.

I'd rather get a legit next-gen MK first.  Besides, the blood/gore would likely be taken out.  That's what made Mortal Kombat so iconic in the first place.

Wear and Tear and minor blood can still be implemented into this game. 

Mortal Kombat 9 will be released before this anyhow. 

Hopefully Capcom ASKS at least Warner Bros what it will take for this to happen. 

50/50 profits down the middle.

I think Richard was stating that he would prefer a CvS3 over a SF vs. MK...

Yeah, thats what I meant. Though I'd really prefer a Capcom all-stars fighter over CvS3. Really wouldn't care to see SF vs. MK at all.

Popularity over Good games?  no thx...  I'd rather see 2 decent games revamped and redone then Capcom have to go up against a series that should have died after MKII. 

>_> thats just me thou.

 I completely agree with this.

I also think that everything after MKII was garbage.

If this is what Capcom wants to do, I'll support it, but it's not the at the top of the list of things I want to see in terms of Vs. fighting.
