I still have a strong memory of first playing this game at a gas station my mom liked going to a lot. Ever since then I've enjoyed fighting games, even if I don't enjoy this specific one very much.
Great game to play alone, with friends or whatever.
Nunca entendí cómo hacer los combos, mis hermanos siempre me aniquilaron y rara vez podía ganar una pelea. Sin embargo, siempre traté de seguir mejorando en el juego porque los personajes me parecían icónicos, los poderes fáciles de recordar, los escenarios entretenidos de ver y la música te metía en mood de entrenar y pelear.
Pocos juegos de pelea, han podido replicar la personalidad y lo icónico de este juego, incluso la misma serie de Street Fighter. Por eso, este siempre será el mejor.

Great for it's time, not really worth playing over its sequels or any other 2D fighter released after for that matter.
The greatest sequel of all time just off the strength of how much better it is than Street Fighter 1
While it wasn't the best looking game at the time of its release, it had, without a doubt, the best fighting system to grace the genre by 1991. A massive improvement over the first game, offering more and varied characters to pick from, a fantastic soundtrack, and a combo/fighting system that would go on to influence hundreds of games for decades to come. I'm pretty sure this game singlehandedly extended the life of the Arcade to say nothing of its impact as a cultural phenomenon.
basic but still good
playing most home ports of arcade fighters before the late 90's isn't that fun. before the ps1 and n64 with analog sticks you're probably dealing with a mushy d-pad, systems couldn't match the power of arcade cabs, and you've got better options that were designed for your console in mind. I get the appeal of bringing the fight home to play with friends and without a bunch of quarters, but its just a no-go nowadays. imo this applies to street fighter, mortal kombat, fatal fury, etc.
luckily, I've got an arcade next to me so ive been able to experience a lot of these games that I didn't really like due to their home console controls. and while street fighter 2 on the arcade is pretty much the same as its home versions, it undoubtably feels better to conquer with a proper stick. give it a shot if you have the chance. it won't turn this into an instant classic, but not having to wrestle with the controls is most of the battle.
