There are fighting games like Street Fighter which seems to strike a nice balance between it being a relatively lighthearted game but yet having enough violence to make it interesting. Then you have games like Super Smash Bros. which is a very lighthearted game where the fighting is anything but violent.
You also have the extreme end of the spectrum with titles such as Mortal Kombat X where it is violent from start to end in the most creative of ways. That being said, what do you guys think if games like Super Smash Bros. and Mortal Kombat X were to come together and share some of its elements? Would that be something you would be interested in?
Unfortunately while we doubt an official mashup is in the cards, YouTuber Sterling has put together a video in which he cleverly and masterfully splices gameplay videos of Super Smash Bros. and the x-ray moves from Mortal Kombat X, thus turning the cartoony world of Super Smash Bros. into a rather dark, grim, and grisly one, although admittedly it is pretty clever.
The video itself lasts less than a minute but we reckon it should still be long enough for you to get an idea of what to expect, so if you some time to spare, check it out in the video above.
