street fighter was big a new to many because they call hadouken fireball

[DEIVION212]

I've always called balls of fire fireballs.

Best to Worst:

1st: Megadrive >SNES >PC Engine

The PCE is the worst by far, the HU-card is only 16mb so a lot of stuff is missing, character animation and some background GFX has been cut, there's no multiple BG layers, the sound is a bit worse than the Megadrive but still better than the SNES.

[DEIVION212]

The SNES version is easily the best in my eyes. I think it has the best gameplay sound and visuals as far as I'm concerned and even more importantly, the controls are so much tighter and more responsive.

I haven't played this version since the vid, myself and all my SFII mad mates hate this version.

I'll never understand why so many rave about this version.

Either way the arcade is always better so as soon as it hits the VC there's no need for any arguments.

[chinitosoccer1]

@wally316 those magazines reviews are written by people, people with different opinions, so what if some guy says that the SNES version is better?? I say that the MD SF is the best one, and I already made myself clear in wich ways I think is better, and of course.. nobody is forced to think in the same way as I do...

[wally316]

@chinitosoccer1 R u kidding me All game mags have awarded SNES best game verison at one point in 4 a comparability to SF series to arcade. 

[CGM5]

I personally find the Sega version better.

[AdmiralZhao007]

teleporting with dhalsim is SOOOO MUCH FUNNNN

[chinitosoccer1]

Great version, better than the SNES one, music is more faithful to the cps1, the FX and music on the SNES is too muffled because the voice samples are compressed, punchs and kicks on the SNES sounds weird too, on the Md voice samples are bit grainy but it sounds better overall, its closer to the arcade.

The gameplay is a also bit better on the Megadrive.

if you dont care for arcade perfection , wich means different music and FX go for the SNES version.

[DEIVION212]

Yeah but not before the SNES got SFII WW.

Which I still think I prefer over this. Hard to say, because it might just be that the GEN/MD does really badly at this genre, I wish they'd released the TG16 version first, because there's no way I'm buying the TG version now.

[deluxedookie]

this came out before the SNES got sf2 turbo on the SNES

[DEIVION212]

It's the worst version by far. I really don't like it and I haven't played it since the vid. Stick to the SNES ones unless we one day see the arcade version.

Which as we're getting arcade games a lot now, it might be worth waiting to see if they do release it.

[pokefanandy101]

whats the different between this version and the others?

[DEIVION212]

Operations guide should tell you all the moves, but basically it's a quarter circle from down to forward and then punch.

[halodude510]

how do u do the haudeken thing

[DEIVION212]

You just asked the same question twice, lol.

I have played them but I'm not currently playing them at the moment. Despite still having a lot of them to beat.

[CP3isboss]

never played them or haven't played them?

[DEIVION212]

Own everyone but never play them, just haven't got the time at the mo, so instead I find myself playing through my P.C FPS'

[CP3isboss]

hey demon, do you play command & conquer. if you don't you should it's my favorite PC and RTS game.

[DEIVION212]

Seriously dude, what the fuck is your problem?

Whatever reason I bought the Wii, I've still gave Nintendo more money that 99% of Wii owners. So it doesn't fucking matter why I bought one.

What is SO bad about me owning a Wii and hating 95% of its games?

I use every console for something different. PS3 the odd amazing game and Blu Ray. P.C best FPS', RTS' and just in general games on the planet. 360, paperweight.

'cause after replacing it 4 times, that's all its good for.

Wii, VC & WW.

[DreTheGamer]

WOW more bitchin

[JTCPingas09]

I would love it if the PC Engine version of Street Fighter II came out on the VC.

[DEIVION212]

I'd get SF1, 'cause I've never had it. But the only verison I'd buy now is the arcade version.

[JTCPingas09]

If the PC Engine version came out, would you get it? I heard that it's really good compared to this.

[DEIVION212]

I really wouldn't. As I said in the vid, I done it just because of everyone saying how much better it was, and it's just grade A shit.

It takes a great game and ruins it.
