Super Street Fighter II (Genesis) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
359A playthrough of Capcom's 1994 Sega Genesis versus fighter, Super Street Fighter II.
Played through with Fei Long on the highest difficulty level. The best ending is shown, since I didn't lose any matches.
This is a great port. It benefits a bit compared to the SNES port from the larger ROM size (it was 40mb compared to the SNES version's 32mb), and has more of the voice samples intact because of it. Who cares it they're a bit distorted? If you're playing a Genesis game, you expect it anyway. The graphics also fare extremely well here - sure, they're lower color than the other ones, but they still look great and animate smoothly. The music is also quite good - it doesn't emulate the arcade version as well as the SNES (mainly because the arcade version was using wavetable synth, which is also used by the SNES, compared to the Genesis' FM synth chip), but I actually prefer the FM music in this version.
It's also got a load of different modes included, if you like a bit more variety in a fighter than the standard arcade-style 2 out of 3 matches.
You really can't go wrong with this one. As long as you have a couple of six-button pads and a buddy to beat on, 16-bit fighters don't get much better than this.
