Yawn.

Couple of reasons I can think of.
1, The lore is interesting. Netherrealm, Shang Tsung, the tournament, the ninjas. All very cool.
2. Consistency. They built on the lore and overall formula in a consistent way, and didn't fuck up badly aside from the transition to 3D which they eventually overcame.

That getup is so absurd, I find it hard to believe this person is actually trans. Screams "bad faith performance" to me.

It is more fair. Street Fighter has bullshit RNG, priority attacks, and broken throws. Literal crapshoot gameplay

If you're referring to the other 99.9% of trans people, then I don't have a reason to doubt them.

western games are better at immersion/art
japanese games are better at deep autism gameplay

Personally I prefer lore over esports so I prefer MK

so is that why almost every modern anime protagonist is some socially awkward nerd with a harem of girls wanting to jump on his dick? is that why most japanese guys would rather be basement dwelling NEETs? is that why japan's birthrates are so low?

The lore was interesting for me as a kid, nowadays I think it's pretty lame. And centering your franchise around deaths when everyone just gets resurrected is also dumb.
