Street Fighter II; the most iconic fighting game franchise of all time

maybe not the BEST or even my favorite but I remember when these games released just how pervasive they were in arcades. Every arcade had at least one cab and people were lining up waiting to put their quarters on the control panel and get their turn to play.

Wow, never heard of it, and apparently it's a sequel so there has been at least another game.

 

...

 

Just kidding of course.

Not a fan of Street Fighter II but I also suck at fighting games I like (Virtua Fighter, Mortal Kombat, etc.). ?

I guess it's because I never "train" for a game. I play a game, I beat it, I move on to the next.

I was like that until I found SFII in arcades. I had played SF1 but didn't think much of it at the time. 

 

After SFII, and Fighting Games in general, I never went back to just playing a different genre game to beat it, with a few exceptions. I have all kinds of different old retro stuff I play for fun, but its the same old stuff over the years. I'm talking like newer games.

 

I only owned two games for XBox One, and that was Killer Instinct 3 and Mortal Kombat XL, if that tells you anything.

the only fighting games I have ever spent the time to get good at was the King of Fighters series and the Virtua Fighter series
