Mortal Kombat vs Tekken

Chapter 1: Collision of Franchises

Since the early 90's, there were several fighting games I grew fond of: Street Fighter, Killer Instinct, Tekken and Mortal Kombat. As a fan of those franchises, I often wondered if there would be a crossover between two of them. Street Fighter and Tekken have crossed over before in 2012, and I was amazed that two of the best have shown that they can throw down just as good as they have on their own. Not to mention the crossover they had between them and the X-Men, which was awesome! Mortal Kombat crossed over in 2008 with DC Comics characters like Superman and Batman. Unfortunately, the crossover was unsuccessful. Midway was on the verge of bankruptcy, thinking that this crossover would help. It didn't. However, Netherrealm Studios created a DC Comics game called Injustice: Gods Among Us. I believe that game would never have existed if it wasn't for that MK VS DC Universe crossover. Killer Instinct has yet to crossover, but because there weren't many characters (until it was remade in 3 separate seasons staring in 2013 with new characters), it would kind of be unfair to be crossed over with a franchise that has more characters. I'm also adding Injustice into the mix because of its large roster of characters, including new characters debuting in Injustice 2 next year. For now, though, I am focusing on two of my favorites in this new story. At first, I wasn't sure how this was going to work, but with a little brainstorming, you can make a successful crossover.
