Street Fighter II kicked off a fighting game craze that still continues to this very day.

To say that the original Street Fighter II was a genre-defining game would be the understatement of the century. Not only did the game take the one-on-one fighting game idea and take it to heights never before reached, it also single-handedly kicked off a..

Woah, I nearly downloaded it without reading this! Sounds slower than I thought, guess I'll wait for turbo then!

Another classic arcade collectible. Get it to have it and play whenever you have the urge to 'shruiuken.'

The only reason I won't regret getting this is if they release Turbo: Hyper Fighting or Super SSII. This is rubbish in comparison, you can't even play as Sagat or any of the other 'bosses'.

funny that in Europe and stuff the last guys name is balrog, in the US balrog is the boxer and M. Bison is the last guy. One of my friends back in the day had the chinese or japanese version because his dad was in the army and he lived over seas and we would always call shenanigans on the game because Balrog is the boxer, not the last guy

Only get this if you don't have the patience to wait for a better version.

Bamboo, Balrog was never the name of the last guy. U.S. Bison = Jp Vega. U.S. Vega = Jp Balrog. U.S. Balrog = Jp Bison. Thats the way its always been.

SNES-Fans know what Street Fighter II was back then.
The best fighting game! This was once the best!! Classic sure!
Download it? Heh heh.. only if you liked the music more than in the other versions and must not play as balrog, vega, sagat, bison.

When it was new: 5 Stars!
And now? I personally would say wait at least for Super Street Fighter II. It had much better overall graphics (while these sure aren't bad) and the double amount of fighters. 3 Stars!

I've had enough of waiting, should I just go ahead and download it? I don't mind the slowness to be honest, as long as it's not stupidly slow..

Don't do it, Mendez! Turbo will be here soon!

It's the best fighting game on the SNES. I love this game!

Even over the later versions, Zweck and Thermoss?

Compared to SSFII: TNC, this game is very slow and the low amount of fighters to pick from is almost laughable.

World Warrior. I don't believe I can recommend this game.
I can however recommend SSFII: TNC.

I don't like this version of Street Fighter II because it's to slow.

I still got this game today though I rather play SFII Turbo over this. For a game that features no speed option, no mirror match, and no selectable bosses, this version was quite good.

23. StarFox United States 11 Mar 2009, 03:11 GMT

One SF2 is enough. Why'd they have to release more than one?

On the VC? Because they exist and Capcom likes to make as much money from Street Fighter as they can. Everyone should download Super over this. If you're talking about in the early nineties then its because Street Fighter II was a massively popular game and Capcom knew a good money maker when they saw it. They still remake it today.

There's no reason to download World Warrior or Special Champion Edition. Turbo Hyper Fighting and New Challengers are much better options.
