I didn't get around to buying SF2 for Genesis in 1993 since Mortal Kombat came first. Anyway near the end of the show when most people went there was about 40 unused street fighter 2 machines, and had that eerie but calming feeling that there was so much love and adoration for this game but one day things would change and people would be onto the next hot thing. It’s Ryu xx happy times xx aalso I went to the games master convention and all the guys from mean machines were there in a booth and managed to get Julian rign all and Richard leadbetters autograph I was star struck these guys were the Beatles to me or nirvana! And I remember radion automatic jumping over the booth eager to play some games. I remember going to France on a family vacation in 92 and bought a French games mag because it had pictures of every character doing every move, and I remember studying it trying to find who was my favourite. But I always seem to forget that it was a phenomenon that seemed to bring all gamers together and in the early 90s was THE game. I play street fighter 2 now and again on 3ds and SNES mini, I love it. Giving your opponent those extra seconds to think about your next move just ruins a game, that is based on overwhelming the enemy. You cant take a fighting game seriously when the action slows to a crawling pace right in the middle of a setup. There is so much slowdown, it breaks the gameplay. The game was ported so poorly, it’s basically unplayable for enthusiasts. And thats where the SNES port turns into a dumpster fire. We are talking about a competitive 1 on 1 fighter here.

The voices sound better on SNES, but they are also less accurate to the source material.īut those are low tier check boxes to tick. Of course sound is subjective and some people like the SNES version better. Sound wise, Genesis had the most accurate port, due to similar sound hardware being used on the Genesis and arcade. Graphically they were about equal, with both games having their advantages. I guess if you like to pause the game and look at a static image, the SNES version could be considered superior.
