Everybody knows the characters, their special moves, their finishing poses, finishing phrases, the soundtrack, the special stages, everything! I would hazard a guess that there is about 90% worldwide recognition of the Street Fighter brand, and rightly so! I'm sure I'm not the only one to have suffered from 'Street fighter thumb', a hefty blister on my left thumb after hours of thumping out fireball after fireball. A timeless classic!
I remember looking at the box for this game and thinking 'Oh Chun-Li, you're never going to stop him'. In fact, that picture of Chun-li was probably my first love.
Rating : 8/10
