Walking into an arcade in the 1990s and hearing people playing SF2 before you could even see the machine was awesome. That machine was louder than all the rest. You could hear "HADOKEN!, HADOKEN!, ....SHORYUKEN!" from across the arcade. It was almost intimidating as a young kid. What a great game.

This was amazing, and Street Fighter 2 was a masterpiece that rocked the arcade world. Thanks for this.

My friend’s son always wants to play this game on my Switch collection when they come over. This proves to me that Street Fighter II is timeless. Weirdly tonight the lad came over wanting to play King of Fighters 97. Very specific

I genuinely wish KZread didn't take such a "quantity over quality" approach to picking which channels get promoted. We need more channels willing to take time and care when making videos, like Strafefox's work.

I hear you. KZread algorithm is all about pushing garbage. It does not favor content creators who take its time to make a thorough and well crafted piece. What's worse is that it rather pushes creators to change to lower its quality in order to produce more frequently. I much rather have quality recommendations like strafefox than all the garbage it offers me everyday.

But I had Street Fighter 2 on the SNES, a Japanese copy, the boss characters still all had their original names. Then I also got the Championship Edition on Mega Drive. And then Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo on SNES. 3 versions of that one game. My brother would later get the HD remake on PS3. So that's 4 versions for him.
