This, though i will say I think Scorpion has slightly more appeal in general.Scorpion or Chun Li
Probably Scorpion in the west, Chun Li worldwide.
Scorpion is less iconic than all 8 of the OG World Warriors and Cammy.
I've played basically every SNK fighter and I had to look up who Kyo was.
Replace Cammy with Bison and you're probably correct.Scorpion is less iconic than all 8 of the OG World Warriors and Cammy.
Does Scorpion's popularity in the West make up for his nonexistence elsewhere?
Scorpion and Sub Zero over Ryu even. SF doesn't get into this race til third place.
lol at scorpion when nobody gives a fuck about mk in the east. chun li is universal and more prevalent in pop culture .
non existence ?
Just because MK isn't popular in Japan doesn't mean it is only big in the West.
This was for a Saudi Arabian Football team.
SF2 alone is bigger than the rest of its franchise combined. Maybe even the MK franchise combined. It raked in nearly $10bn in its prime. Its impact on pop culture is far bigger.
The last MK game sold 11 million units? The last SF game sold 9 million.
SF reps have also been in the last two Smash games, which have sold like 25 million combined. MK11's sales dwarf SFV's, but it's kinda hard to argue MK characters are more visible.
I mean SF4 sold 9 million units across like 4 separate version released over like 6 years, but sure that's comparable I guess. Wasn't trying to make it a straight up sales comparison, just point out that in recent years Street Fighter is less popular than it's been in a long time, and Mortal Kombat has kind of stepped up as the "most popular" fighter by that one metric (sales). As a result it's been more in the mainstream consciousness of late.
SF reps have been in the last two Smash games, but we have to exclude Ryu per the thread, and Ken is just a Ryu clone in Smash, but I guess it counts. In that case Ken should be on the poll. Either way, imo Scorpion, then Chun-Li and Ken right now, but like I said ask me 10 years ago & my answer would have been different.
I'm biased but..................that sounds backwards?
I just fixed it before your post. Sorry, I'm posting from a bar.
Probably Scorpion, although Jin Kazama was the first to come to mind because I'm a big Tekken fan.
Heh only New Yorkers know thisRyu and Chun Li have been on the packaging for fake boner pills you buy at the bodega, has scorpion?
