In terms of popularity some might give the edge to Mortal Kombat 9 especially because the storyline for the game basically revisited the events from the first three titles that came out in the early 90’s. Also, NetherRealm Studios had utilized cinematic storytelling for the story of Mortal Kombat 9 way before Capcom had done the same with Street Fighter V back in 2016. As good a Street Fighter V was it was not quite as popular as Super Street Fighter IV which was released for the PlayStation 3 along with the Xbox 360 back in 2010.

Also, Mortal Kombat 9 had more of a cult following following its release than Street Fighter V did and was considered to be a better game than its sequel Mortal Kombat X which came out in 2015. Also, Street Fighter V had popular characters such as Sakura, Guile, Akuma and others as DLC opposed to them being unlockable characters in the game. Mortal Kombat 9 had almost every character you could think of from the first three Mortal Kombat games were available without DLC making a more desirable game to purchase following its initial release.
