It's the first 1v1 real beat em up I ever played! I had played things like double dragon on the NES but when my bro and me chipped in enough money for a Real SNES (*angels sing in the background*) it came with SF2 !!
My fav. char from all streetfighters are Fei Long from Super Streetfighter 2 and Kairi from Streetfighter Ex Plus Alpha
My bro never liked beat'em'ups a lot so I ended up fighting vs. the computer a lot which made it rather dull after a while...
