There are so many things that I want to point out about this great game which I have dedicated practically my whole life, it was the first game of this genre that I can experience (I was about 6 years old) in the great Snes, for that time it was really terrible playing and It was the practice sandbag for my brother (there was no practice mode and I just stood to play against him to learn the moves) however my taste for this game was growing in such a way that it became my favorite fighting game Of all times, which I have played each of the titles that have come out of their franchise. (Worth mentioning that later my brother could not with me XD)

My passion for Street Fighter grew every year that passed by this cartridge, where I went all known and was extreme fever among friends, my age in the past unfortunately I could not participate in those events where they competed (my parents never liked that ), But nothing in life is late, it was last year that I met a Retro Gamer group that acclaimed this great game, and decided to make a Tournament which was fabulous.

It was made in Caracas, Los Dos Caminos, at the Transport Museum (Venezuela) which gave us great support a position of a great friend who sells pure articles of video games, both retro and current.

The battles were very good, it was a moment that moved you to many years in the past, here was the one who controlled the nerves most and the one with the most experience, I was totally happy because for the first time I was in an activity of my Favorite game of Snes.

Graphics and Gameplay

For its moment it was a totally innovative game, graphically it looked impressive, the sprites of the well defined characters as well as its powers, the levels had a perfect setting and color for the genre, it is possible to emphasize that each fighter came from a certain country, To go to his stage, we could clearly see a high reference to that part of the world, this really was incredible.

One of the most iconic characters for me is Guile, that Sonic Boom is simply epic and even the sun today I love to play it (in Street Figther V and IV is impressive), and another that can be highlighted are the famous Ryu and Ken, They simply can not miss in any of their deliveries.

Its gameplay is simply legendary, it was the model to follow for all fighting games from that point in history, I presented a series of commands that really were done in a simple way and made the combos within the video games of Wrestling, half-moon, full moon, cargo, among others, were the main pioneers who gave a shocking success in the 90s, additionally from the menu options we could place the maximum difficulty, which presented a challenge of good caliber , If you won all the round without losing one of them unlocked a secret end, this I loved doing it every now and then.

Music and Sound

A shocking blow to videojugabilistic history, Street Fighter 2's music is simply perfect, so much so that it has been passed down from generation to generation on many consoles (even in Street Fighter V Ps4-PC), epic themes like Guile, Ken , Ryu, Balrog, Vega, have that facility to give you to understand that you are within the world of Capcom, totally addictive to 100%.

Their special sounds ... I no longer find supreme words of how to describe them, that HadoKen, Tiger Uppercut, Tatsumaki Senpukyaku among others, are heard in a glorious way, their blows, the grips have that sound so characteristic, sincerely as we say from these sides "It sounds Brutal."

Final Words

The affection that I have to Street Fighter II (and its variations) is enormous, thanks to him I could get involved with other games like Art of Fighting, The King of fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat and many more, however nothing has made me leave That fabulous game that is in my TOP 1 of fighting games for life, I think that a few more years will pass this cartridge with me, which always when a friend comes and sees it among all those games, it is inevitable to say " Some Fights. "

Dude, this is seriously so awesome! I'm a huge retro gamer fan myself, and would definitely have taken part in that tournament. The trophy is really creative too haha. Although I'm a big street fighter fan (always went with classic Ryu), the Mortal Kombat series was more my thing.

Actually you inspire me..I still have my Genesis and N64 in my parents basement...I'm going to start thinking of setting up my own local tournament of sorts. Or something like a regular retro gaming group meeting 1x or 2x a month perhaps. Hmm.. I will ponder this :)
