Something nobody has mentioned yet though is Tekken verses MK from the point of view of sound design, which is probably a close second to playability for most of us, and sometimes can be a close first over playability for a geek like me. I mention it because MK verses DC has the best sound I've ever heard in a beat 'em up to date. It's equal too or better than watching some big budget films! Back in the day I'd say the first few Tekken's were way ahead, more varied voices for characters and perhaps a few more audio clues to aid playability which was a great thing considering how much deeper the control was over each character, but seriously, play MK vs DC on a good 5.1 setup and try not to grin like an idiot, it's really something! I'm not talking about just the voices or body contact sounds being good, the whole thing is a perfect product soundwise to my ear, from the sweet interactive music through to the menue noises. To contrast that, Tekken has always sounded like more of the same to me with each title, going on what I've heard of Tekken 6 so far there's nothing to break that mould.
Don't get me wrong I realise that playability is a big thing, perhaps the biggest for most people, but soundwise MK's last few offerings have been way ahead. Just my 2 cents...
