I can't believe I'm rating this as high as I'm doing but I had so much fun... "fighting games are great" I was thinking to myself while I played this.

It's objectively a bad game. It's also hilarious, so my enjoyment of this piece of history came from enjoying kusoge. It's so bad it's funny.

Crusty. The movement is crusty. The music is crusty. Sometimes you can get punished for hitting an enemy. Most of your moves suck ass.
Oh but your opponents? They can zip around the screen precisely, spamming moves that kill you in 2-3 hits. It's nuts.
The first time it happened I couldn't help but laugh: Lee fucking destroyed me in like 3 seconds, moving like a lag-switching, Genei Jin activated, divekick spamming Yun.

The way moves hit is so weird. Sometimes moves can hit multiple times, essentially turning the move into a OHKO (when this happens with your Shoryuken Dragon Punch it's a blessing). Other times the same move doesn't push back or just completely misses when it looks it should've hit.
Of course your normal punches and kicks are the most affected by this. They suck.

If your punches and kicks are awful, do no damage and sometimes just lead to you eating a big hit from your enemy, how are you supposed to win against screen zipping, move spamming enemies? You use your super secret special moves of course!
Everyone knows the Hadoken Fireball, and it along with the Dragon Punch are your only good moves.
-it takes 3 fireballs to KO an opponent, and it's your only ranged option
-the dragon punch is crazy. It grants you full invincibility and sometimes it OHKOs. At the end of the game it's your only way of defending yourself against the spam of Adon and Sagat.
-there's also the tatsu Hurricane Kick... it does good damage but it takes ages for ryu to start spinning and doing damage.

Too bad actually getting the damn Dragon Punch to come out is painful. I guess the game would be too easy if you could easily do it.
I know you have to negative edge the special moves but even then I was struggling. Sometimes I destroyed and perfected the cpu (I scored 1 lucky perfect round against both Adon and Sagat), other times I NEEDED a dragon punch to save me but 1 missinput and I'm dead a second later.

Beating the game took me 45+minutes. And the whole time I had to endure the soundtrack and sound effects.
"You've got a lot to learn before you beat me. Try again, kiddo!" Is ingrained into my head.
The stage background music is strangely both great and terrible... except for Sagat's, that theme is ear piercing.

Sagat... holy shit Sagat. Adon was painful as he just spammed Jaguar Kick over and over and over and over and over. He was the first unga bunga character in fighting games.
Final boss Sagat is a different beast. He destroys you in 1-2 hits. He's crazy fast, moving around using Tiger Knee while being fully fireball immune. When at full screen (or sometimes right in your face) he can throw a blazing fast Tiger Shot, and I don't think you can block it? I think you can only duck it.
Rounds only last a few seconds vs Sagat. Every time you lose he laughs... every time... it took me so long to beat him, I think I made him sad and on my winning round he did nothing and just took 3 fireballs to the face. I felt like Dan but hey, a win is a win!

After becoming king of the hill I had no time to rest on my glory. A challenger appeared to dispute my title. (I invited my gf to try this funny game) I, of course, successfully defended it, proving I was the strongest street fighter in the world!
