Snes Review: Street Fighter

The first law of history is to dread uttering a falsehood; the next is not to fear stating the truth; lastly, the historian's writings should be open to no suspicion of partiality or animosity.
Leo XIII

Publisher: Capcom
Year:1991




Street Fighter II is a sub-series in Capcom's Street Fighter franchise of competitive fighting games. Originally released as coin-operated arcade games, this was released in 1991 as a sequel to Capcom's 1987 fighting game Street Fighter.

Street Fighter II improved upon the many concepts introduced in the first game, including the use of command-based special moves and a six-button configuration, while offering players a selection of multiple playable characters, each with their own unique fighting style and special moves.
Street Fighter II is credited for starting the fighting game boom during the 1990s. Its success led to the production of a series of updated versions, each offering additional features and characters over previous versions, as well as several home versions. Some of the home versions of the Street Fighter II games have sold millions of copies, with the SNES port of the first Street Fighter II being Capcom's best-selling consumer game of all time as of 2008.
For the record, this player is doing what certain players do for massive points. People call the method A.I. abuse.


By watching this video, a person can see that each character has thier own fighting style that anyone can enjoy if a person takes the time to learn the moves. Anyone can play, but it takes a pro like the guy in the video to master the way of Street Fighter. This game sold well since it was new for its time and made it possible for other companies to expand into the fighting genre, like Mortal Kombat.

Nostalgic: I remember buying this game because I took a look at the picture the game had. All I saw was a green monster attacking a person that looked like he knew some karate. I bought it for that reason until I notice with one match with the computer that buying something based on what the covers look like can lead to a positive find(sometimes). As a young child around the age of five, I never finished it. The reason for not finishing the game is because there was one fighter who was fast, real fast in the game. I could not keep up and he was one of the bosses pf the game. His name is Vega. He never stood still and he can easily give anyone a difficult time in the fight. However, today I can easily beat him by knowing one simple idea, hit him in the legs.

The game is fun for having six original fighters with thier own fighting style. While the game can be cheap (projectile spammers) like Ryu and Ken, the game is worth the check.
