Street Fighter III: New Generation is overshadowed by Street Fighter III: Second Impact, but the latter is just different enough from Street Fighter III: Third Strike that you can gladly play around with both. It’s still fun to play, and even though Street Fighter Alpha 2eats its lunch by adding more characters, the first game still has its own unique backgrounds and cutscenes if you’re into that.įinally, there’s the Street Fighter IIItrilogy. The roster is very scant and its select screen not helped by the fact that three of the characters are hidden. The in-between prequel games feature a brand new art style, meaning the sprites are all new across the board. Shifting to a new engine, we get Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors’ Dreams. The game also has some of the best balance in the sub-series…as long as nobody’s using Akuma. Not only does it have all 16 fighters from Super Street Fighter II, but there’s also the addition of super moves and the hidden boss character, Akuma. While, yes, Capcom did eventually release an upgraded version of this with Ultra Street Fighter II, this one is considered by many to be the ultimate entry in the sub-series. This all leads to 1994’s Super Street Fighter II Turbo. It’s an incredibly solid entry, but again, pretty much unnecessary with the games that follow - like Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, which finally introduces a handful of new characters while giving the audio and non-gameplay visuals a real shot in the arm.

Plus more moves, like Chun-Li’s fireball. It also adds faster speeds and new costume palettes if that’s your thing.

To fix those pesky balance issues, Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting was released shortly after. Bison’s grotesquely overpowered Psycho Crusher. 26 years later, you have perhaps the most redundant game in the collection that’s only worth revisiting if you want to play around with M.

Even the new ability to do mirror matches was huge (you had to put in a code for the SNES port). That’s followed by Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, which allows you to play as the four boss characters. It’s such a crazy-good sequel despite having only eight characters to choose from and no supers or many of the bells and whistles we’re used to today. As someone who was obsessed with this game, I have to say that even at its most bare-bones, it still holds up. Now we get into the sub-series that had everyone lovingly mocking Capcom in the early ’90s, Street Fighter II, starting with Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. Like watching the public access episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000, it’s only there as a historic curiosity.

It’s nice to see the early stages of the series’ concepts and the likes of Ryu, Ken, Sagat, and so on, but there’s a reason people have nostalgia for Street Fighter II and not this one.
