I was having an argument with my cousin over which Mortal Kombat is the best.

I think MK Deception is the highest point in the series. The game is balanced and has a good roster.

He says its UMK3 for the run button dial a combos and atmosphere.

Which do you guys prefer.

MK2...I actually like Deception and them 3D games, just the arcade though, I couldn't care less for all them extra modes...

In order of preference

MK2
UMK3
MK9
Deception

Trilogy is more like UMK3 1.5
MK Gold is like MK4 1.5 as well but I don't see it in the poll.

I always felt MK2 is the best 'cause it eludes me, the other MK games have welcomed me somewhat but MK2 persists on making a noob, that game...my pals DZ and RepX both are excellent at MK2, I just suck...

A little bit of everything there, I feel those are the best but the others aren't bad either.

I've got a soft spot for MK2, it's probably the game in the series I have the most fun with. Objectively speaking though, MK9 is the best game in the series.

MK2 is definitely best. 9 and Trilogy being closest followers to me. Trilogy certainly does feel like UMK3 v1.5, but I'd be happy just calling MK Trilogy my MK3, like how I think of Doom 64 as actual Doom 3.

Pretty much, there's no real reason to play 3 or UMK if you've got Trilogy around. Also, you can turn off the Kombos in the menu and it feels a lot like MK2. The dial a combos never bothered me much anyway, they don't do a lot of damage anyway.

It's a close race between 2 and Trilogy, but I'll never forget playing MKII in the arcade, so it edged out Trilogy.

MK2 or UMK3.

MK2 got me into mortal kombat back on the SNES, Then MK4 got me out of it. LOL

Overall 2 is the best to me. Playing the AI and VS are the best. UMK3 is a close runner up. Versus is better in UMK3 but the AI is so damn read heavy. It can be exploited but then its boring.

Another vote for 2 here. Definitely my favourite, and did what all good sequels should do - improve on the original in every way. Although, I have a soft spot for one due to the arcade time I had with it.

MK II. It's the only MK I go back to play from time to time. Never played any of the latter day MKs.

MK2. Did not care for the first one and gave up on the franchise after (U)MK3(Trilogy).

Objectively it has to be MK2, as a sequel the game made spectacular progress. However I still play MK1 the most. The gameplay is very pick up and play and it doesn't have millions of combos / specials which needs to be memorised to even stand a chance against an opponent, with the emphasis here being on hand to hand combat Plus in terms of atmosphere / mood its my favourite. MK2 was also great in this regard, not so much MK3 and UMK3 - the robots and some of the backgrounds didn't kind of fit in IMO.
