Both are really different.
In Mp there's a bunch of mods, you can be good at Aikido but you can suck at Wushu. Also there's a lot of people, you can never know if you're the best or not. Getting in Mp isn't easy, you have to play a lot of matches to get at least a bit of knowledge of what you're doing.
In Sp, each player has his own style, there's a lot of ways to play it and each one requires so much knowledge (madmans, tricking, parkour, solo-spar).
The thing is, both things aren't really comparable, they are different.
