Super Street Fighter 2

Super Street Fighter 2 brings the famous fighting formula to the PC, offering a roster of colorful combatants, special moves, distinctive fighting styles, and enough international travel to make the tournament feel like the most violent holiday package imaginable. Matches are built around timing, positioning, blocking, combos, and learning what each fighter can do. Simply hammering the buttons can produce amusing results, but skilled play requires considerably more thought. Each character has strengths and weaknesses, making experimentation part of the fun. The presentation retains the exaggerated personality that made the series famous, with dramatic attacks and expressive fighters turning every match into a tiny martial-arts cartoon. Super Street Fighter 2 is still most enjoyable when played competitively, especially against another human who has just discovered your favorite characters weakness. It is fast, colorful, and immediately recognizable, proving that a good fighting game needs only two opponents, a few special moves, and a healthy willingness to lose.
