MvC3 is funnier to watch and MK seems funnier to play. Both seem to be at a close level to SFIV when it comes to competitive play *AT HIGHER LEVELS*. Like cyke_out said, pros hit combos almost every time anyway. Sure, there is the depth off footsies and all that, but I don't think that alone makes the game so much better. Actually, I believe in the end of the day, reads are the most important factor in good fighting games, from scrubs spamming each other to pros winning world championships.
That said, I believe SFIV is really good, maybe even better than MK (Even tho I personally prefer the later), but it is also a hell of an overrated game. Just can't stand the effort some people (Not here, but in the rest of the interwebz) make to try to make this game look like it's the best fighting game ever. That is just NOT the case.
EDIT: @FlsGd2BAgngsta That means it is harder to get good, but does it really means it is harder to be THE BEST? MK seems more forgiving to the noobs and has an easier learning curve, thats for sure. But all learning curves reach 89.9º at the top of it, unless the game is shitty balanced or pretty simple. I do believe you should respect both Perfect Legend and Fuudo (For instance) at a close (If not equal) level.
