... this was one of the updated versions (not sequels, but the turbo, championship, etc. versions) with more characters and where the bosses are playable. I bought it because I was really missing this game from my childhood and only had a little money. I went with the cheapest one.
Anyway, the Street Fighter series deserves a lot of credit. It's responsible for almost every fighting game you see these days. To this day, it has some of the best fighting styles, and they're all logical. The gameplay is very typical of Capcom, with the kind of rock, paper, scissors way of strengths and weaknesses.

Best 2-D Fighter to grace the console gaming world!

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior is perhaps my favourite fighter of all time! It was the first definitive fighter to be released on console, and was second to none (still is in my opinion). With choice of 8 different characters each with their very own fighting techniques and styles, makes for an awesome array of varied battles, in other words no 2 fights will ever be the same! Another great feature about the game is that it is multiplayer. So get a friend around and challenge them until your heart's content. I'd have to disagree with a few of the other reviews on the subject of street fighter II turbo being the greatest SF of all time. I believe that SF: Championship Edition on the 'ye old arcades is probably the best. A touch faster in gameplay as opposed to SF II: The World Warrior, and the ability to choose the additional bosses. Thats enough rambling on my part! In conclusion, SF II: The World Warrior is most definitely a worthy game in anyone's collection! See for yourself.

I bought a Super Nintendo especily just for this game when it came out. It was the coolest game since MArio brothers to hit the curicuits. I loved the next version better (Turbo edition) but the best of them all is Super Street Fighter 2.

I really got out of the whole Street Fighter thing since SSF2Turbo. I have had very little interest in the Animie style it's gone towards since. Plus I cant keep up with them, there must be a million different versions of SF2 (because sf1; Fighting Street was not quite the same as this one) butthis is where it all started. And this is the true SF game that is responsable for all those clones of this game. But nothing compares to SSFII. It has since breathed new life again on the Gameboy advance. I cant remember what it's called, but it's pretty much the same with some new extras included, and Akuma.

WOW!This game is AWESOME! The characters are cool plus some unplayable bosses :-(. There is a very hard boss called M. Bison he can be impossible to beat some times. My favorite charactar is Zangief he's real cool, and you can get perfects more often
:-). Oh, yeah, and Amazon.com says Street Fighter II is rated "T" it's not rated anything! You see this game was made in 1991, and there was no ESRB back then. Finaly the full titleis: Street Fighter II:The World Warrior!.

probably the best fighting game around

Revolutionized the fighting grene

Street Fighter 2 revolutionized fighting video games when it came out in the early 90s. In fact, this was the main reason that many people (including myself) ran out and bought a Super Nintendo. Because it was nearly arcade-perfect and only available for the SNES, it spelled the beginning of the end of Sega's console dominance (the Genesis was on top at the time). The eight fighters come from different parts of the world and have their own distinctive look and fighting style. Each has their own animated background stages and reamarkably good theme music. The basic gameplay and control scheme became a fighting game standard, copied by many other titles including Mortal Kombat. Harder kicks and punches do more damage, but are more difficult to land. With special attacks and the ability to block, the gameplay is remarkably deep. The game provides the ability to customize the control scheme, and it always annoyed me how each of my friends always had modify the settings before each bout. Some say this game is somewhat slow, but that was remedied in the sequels. Street Fighter 2 is one of the all-time classics, right up there with Pac-man and Space Invaders. It led to many sequels, each of which offered minor enhancements but no significant changes to the gameplay itself. You owe it to your self to buy this game if you have an SNES, you'll be glad you did.

The first SF game to revolutionize the fighting genre !

In 1992, Street Fighter II, the sequel to the original '80s Capcom arcade fighting hit, Street Fighter, has released in, of course, the arcades, and multiple systems...the Sega Genesis, Game Boy, and the Super Nintendo, the most powerful 16-bit video game console of all time ! In case some of you guys didn't know, Street Fighter II was the first fighting game to ever revolutionize the fighting game genre. It was so big, that it created a huge audience of fans and on top of that, Capcom was making big bucks when this game released ! Plus, some SFII merchandise was made, but most of them were cheesy during those times. The action figures, which was originally made by the guys who gave you GI Joe figures, really looked corny, but the figures that were made in Japan looked perfectly articulated and well crafted (you can see them in some stores where they sell comic books and Japanese anime merchandise). Plus in 1994, they made a horrible live action Street Fighter movie based on it, and boy, it was a mistake to make the movie in the first place ! The SFII anime movie was even better, according to real fans of the series. Anyways, let me drop the subject ! I'm about to give you the lowdown on the game (man I love saying that !). The graphics look great for an SNES game. Nicely animated character sprites and backgrounds are really something to look at, including those fireballs shooting straight ! But due to todays standards, they seem a little bit outdated and they don't seem to surpass the animation of SFII Turbo. The audio is fine. The music for each character stage sounds cool and they're so unforgetable, it always sticks to some people's heads. And the sounds of heavy and light hitting sound pretty cool, but the grunts and yells sound a little weird, but it fits perfectly. The line of characters, well in that year, it was fine by us. But unfortunately, just by looking at it today, 7 fighters is not really enough, but at least these characters are kick serious arse ! You got Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Zangief, Dhalsim, and Blanka ! Each of them are very simple to master once you've played the game a few times. And as for the gameplay, it's a kind of a good blend, but some flaws are seen. You get a fairly good deal of game modes, but the controls seem to be a little slow. Even with that flaw, it totally makes it up for the slow playability with a good variety of moves to pull out ! And it has a fairly good gameplay balance due to that kind of variety. But even with those flaws and the fact that it's not really the best Street Fighter game of all time, Street Fighter II had what it takes to become one of the most unforgetable and revolutionary 2D fighting games of all time ! If you're going to buy an old SNES along with some good ol-school games like Contra 3, Castlevania: Vampire's Kiss, Mario Kart, Breath of Fire II, and all those hits, don't forget Street Fighter II ! Your collection isn't complete without any game bearing the SFII name...even if you got Mortal Kombat !

Classic

Thiswa the orginal Street Fighter 2. This is my personal favorite. Although this game is nothing compared to the rendered, 3-d, or combo air move, 2-dgmaes out now, this game is still nothing short of awesome. In the late 80's I actually pumped my 5 dollar a week allowance into aracde machines to play the orignial street fighter. Street Fighter 1. Although that game is nothing short of pathetic, compared to Street Fighter 2. 8 slectable characters, 4 unselectable bosses,gave this game more replay value than the orignal Street Fighter. And this game, is still pretty hard to the new commer games. The reason why I way that, sure there are no 50 hit air combo, super finishers, but this game is strategic nonetheless. It took a real rpoto pull off a 6hit combo! The specials were even hard to pull off. At arcades, it took me months to learn the fireball, and then learn the dragon punch. and even longer to learn 3 hit combo's,let alone mixing weak, medium, and fierce moves into a special move. Antoher note, button mashing was utterly useless in this game. If you just amshed buttons, you would fail. This game forced players to think about moves. Come up with endless counters and such. Bosses like vega were for the most part difficult,due to the fact specials were hard to pull off. And the game could only really be won by a true expert. This game was far better than the orginal street fighter(which was basically primitive button mashing). another note, in the orignal street fighter, special moves were IMPOSSBLE to do. not even mashing buttons could produce a fireball. In SF2, special moves were possible, and were only done by a pro. Although in later SF2's special moves were watered down. And in Super Street Fighter II Turbo, we were introduced to thje birth of super moves, which were in their primitive state. This game is awsome, although,due to the 16-bit graphics, sometimes annoying slowdown, and no flash. Most younger games will undoubtly despise this game. but if you were around in the early 90's, everyone knows that SF2 was thee game.
