Mortal Kombat Winning First Place?

If I remember correctly the Golden Joystick awards or something named Mortal Kombat as the number one fighting game with SFAE and UMVC coming a close second and third. I don’t mean to pull on people’s tags here but I want to confirm with this with other people if it’s true? Thanks

Wouldn’t be all that shocking. I guess I could see Marvel comic fans pushing MvC3 over the top, but otherwise this makes a lot of sense. Hardcore fighting game fans aren’t the ones voting on these things, mainstream gamers are. And even if we do vote, we make up a fraction of those total votes. Not to mention, all problems aside the new MK game was pretty cool for a little while.

In any case it doesn’t pay to take these awards shows all that seriously.

I think KowTowRobinson just explained it all. No need to challenge his shen long.

America~ FUCK YEAH.

MK9 had a bunch of cool little tidbits for the casual crowd, which would definitely help it win such a reward.

Aren’t all award shows bought anyways?

Also isn’t there a fighting game discussion?

Compared to what Capcom’s done recently, yeah I’d give MK a first place vote too.

Someone brought this up on FGD earlier…the fanboys did NOT disappoint.

Edit: Here it is…

LOL, who is this mod Preppy :looney: he likes dishing out those infractions. Infraction for swearing in a thread about an M rated game :rofl:
