The one gripe I will say about Namco and SNK is that while the voice acting
evolves quite nicely and usually gets better with each itteration, actual
sounds don't really change much. Deception had great sounds in terms of MK,
and some of those blows were definitely pretty thunderous.
As for voices. well, they've evolved pretty well, and though they sound like
they could be ripped right out of an anime, to be honest, most fighting
games I hear that have japanese voices usually sound like that.

Sure thing, I wasn't saying that Tekken gets it wrong all the time.
The first game I ever played on the original playstation was Tekken
and it was a total revelation. The little subtleties back then like
the actual time it took for Paul to pull off that arm breaker throw
added weight to an already brutal sound effect. Nothing MK had done
up until then came close soundwise. But for some reason, Tekken
doesn't seem to have developed all that much since those days, the
voices are still very animated style and the detail doesn't really
seem to have improved much, remember I'm talking purely sounds here
not actual control over characters or stories.
I dunno, I'm still not wild about MK VS DC as a game to play, I think
the only reason it doesn't get quite old quite quickly is that I don't
own a PS3 myself so can only play it in snatches. But I can't bring
to mind another fighting game that is that good going on sounds alone,
so hopefully it's a sign of things to come.

Like I said. I realize tekken isn't the strongest in the sound
department.
But it's those classic effects that make tekken so cool... for some
people.
Some of those punches sound like they could really hurt. I know the moves
and throws have always looked painful... and I can't deny it about the
sounds either. Some of those sounds make me physically reel back. But I
do
think Tekken has an advantage since each character has more voice samples
than MK in my opinion, and like I said before, characters in tekken can
form
complete sentences in various languages instead of resorting to nonsense
words.

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...

I've played tekken online a few times... against very skilled people.
Trust
me. Just because you can pull off moves by mashing like with law,
you're
not
going to get anywhere in case you know how to use those moves. But I
will
agree that Capcom, arc system works and SNK have always been better
about
this.
