Street Fighter 2 is one of my favorites.

SF2 isn't super high on my list (even though I kinda like ST) but I do recognize how important it is to fighting game history as a whole. Fine for what it is, and amazing at the time. Does it hold up? ...kind of. Worst thing you can say about it is that it's a broken game, but that's most fighting games.

Honorable mention to the US rom of Super Turbo where the difficulty dipswitch is fucked, which makes it always be on max difficulty no matter what level you choose. Thanks, 30th Anniversary Collection, lol.

Street Fighter II was important to change fighting games for good (Yie Ar Kung-Fu was also interesting) yet I always feel like I'm playing underwater when I do that version instead of its subsequent releases.

So this explains why I'm struggling (yes, I'm not great with this entry).

Opinions of the sf movie that got announced? I think it looks like shit and tried to fit as many A-tier actors as possible. I doubt it'll respect the source material or be so cheesy it's good like the original.

Name ONE video game movie that respects its source material.

Sonic maybe you could argue Minecraft. Even if there wasn't it doesn't stop it from being a problem?

It's still a problem, lol. My point is that disrespecting source material is gonna be a given at this rate.
But I do agree that this isn't looking very promising from the casting choices alone.

The Mario Movie?

The 3D CGI one not the weird 90's cyberpunk one.

And

The Professor Layton movie

The Professor Layton movie

I forgot there was one.

Detective Pikachu was quite faithful to the game (the Pokémon series less so).

Do the Japanese CGI RE films count?

This thread derailed but I am fine with the original Mortal Kombat movie.

As another option, I'd recommend playing Hyper Street Fighter II's arcade mode if you are looking for a fairer challenge. The opponents are always in their ST version, so the game is functionally the same as normal ST, only without the CPU difficulty bug. Edition select is a fun addition as well. Characters like Guile changed significantly over the various versions of SF2.

Here is my wildest take :
Tao Feng is actually cool and even fun .

Yes the cover is hideous as if the character exile (on the cover) tasted some forbidden chocolate .

But this game has something so next-gen on it but at the same it looks like a made-up game too from a sitcom .

What suprised me was that the graphics hold up really well and the character models looked great . Even the females looking appealing somehow .

While the gameplay is rather weird and very strict with its inputs ( you press the buttons strictly how many times they should be pressed and in a specific rythm to get the whole combo successfully ) , the concept of the damage models where very great from round to round and even a limb-damage system was added that give that game another interesting spin .

EVO-material ? Never . How the balance is in the game is really a chaotic experience .

But a fun-fighter to play for few matches inbetween ? Absolutely fun .

Sad that this game got bad rep but it has something that made it still outstanding . The UI , the soundtrack , the over-the-top 2000s martial arts shenanigans and the modern asian-culture setting just somehow sells it .
