Whenever im in a social place like a bar or something and they have darts or foosball or something I always wish they also had Super Street Fighter 2 Super Tubo. Because it is a rather simple game and everybody should be able to play it because I want to play this against random strangers 24/7
im just honest

This is a perfect game. Simple and fun. I think modern fighting game should really take inspiration from Super Turbo's simplicity. You can dumb down Motion Inputs all you want, add modern controlls or whatever but that doesn't change the fact that modern fighting games are just too bloated with mechanics and long combos. I don't like that fighting games evolved into the direction of: "how many mechanics can we invent to extend combos". There was nothing wrong with the simple "Jump Attack > Ground Attack > Special" formula. Combos never needed to be longer than that.

Despite all their efforts I still think this is one of the most accessible fighting games out there. The comparatively smaller roster also works to this game's benefit imo and makes it all comprehensible enough. Deserves one of my few 5/5 ratings
