Is Mortal Kombat 2011 more forgiving than SF4/SSF4/SSF4AE/USF4?

In SF, the timing of your attack combos has to be very precise. I had an extremely difficult time performing some of the 2-3 hit combos in training because of it, especially the ones that involve a special move at the end. And you pretty much need a fight stick. Is MK 2011 just as tough?

MK9 use strings/target combos for most of its basic combos that you have per character.
