"There's part of me that's like, 'That would be such a cool dream,' and then there's another part of me that goes, 'There's no way would that satisfy everybody,'" Boon said on the latest episode of our monthly interview show IGN Unfiltered The Mortal Kombat co-creator went on to explain that, even if the game was rated M and they could "tear Ryu's head off," it would still be difficult to make a successful crossover because of how differently the two games play. "There's different pacing, there's different fundamentals with both of them," Boon explained.He also cited Street Fighter x Tekken ( read IGN's review ) as an example of how, with a fighting game crossover, "one of the licenses... is going to have to sacrifice something," and in the case of Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, he said, "I don't know if we'd be able to find that sweet spot."When asked how he would respond if Capcom called tomorrow with an offer to have NetherRealm develop a Street Fighter / Mortal Kombat crossover, he said he'd "have to entertain it," noting they'd "probably do a whole ton of research with Street Fighter players" to learn what they would want from the game.What would you like to see from a potential crossover?
