For me, it got to be Mortal Kombat. Yes, the multiple timelines and the duplication of characters is stupid but o do love the insane and complex lore MK has compared to other games

This guy made a 2 hour YouTube video about how crazy Tekken's lore is:

I would have said Mortal Kombat if they hadnt rebooted it twice. Fatal Fury is a contender. Tekken as well.

If you love insane and complex, might I recommend the BlazBlue series? All the games are a single connected narrative and it's got batshit insane stuff like stable time loops.

Mortal Kombat, specifically 9 onwards.

That game is successful through presentation alone despite being clunky.

Mortal Kombat has the most interesting lore, just wish they would stop resetting the timeline and just let it play itself out. Most of the fighting game storymode either don't give 2 shits about it, always on the back burner in terms of everything else, or unnecessarily convoluted. I'll say Blazbue for story, that while it's convoluted, it isn't Kojima/Nomura levels of stupid like Guilty Gear.

I haven't played enough variety of fighting games, but I'll say Mortal Kombat.

What exactly is the main story in Street Fighter? Whatever happened to M. Bison?

Im not really into SF and I havent beaten SF6 yet but iirc Bison was defeated by Ryu and is now presumably dead. The end of SF5 talked about the End of Mankind or some shit like that but I do know that SF6 takes place 10 plus years after the event of SF5
