First off, I'm not trying to offend or provoke any Mortal Kombat fans with this thread, so my apologies in advance if I ruffle any feathers with this question. Second off, I really have no contact or much in the way of knowledge about the fighting community, so for all I know MK dominates the hearts and minds of everyone who is playing Street Fighter or Tekken in a tournament. Pardon my ignorance.

With that out of the way, I can't ever recall seeing anyone play Mortal Kombat in any video clips I've seen of fighting tournaments. Generally speaking, do fighting fans like the game or is its appeal stronger with the non-fighting game enthusiast video game playing demographic?
