Okay, so Street Fighter III 18 Person on the Genesis is basically a beefed-up version of the classic with way more fighters than you'd expect from a 16-bit port. The roster’s wild—18 characters, including some deep cuts alongside the usual suspects like Ryu and Chun-Li. Zangief’s still a walking tank, and yeah, Chun’s lightning kicks feel just as satisfying as ever.

The controls are surprisingly smooth for a Genesis fighter—no weird input lag, just crisp combos if you’ve got the timing down. Matches get intense fast, especially if you’re playing against someone who knows what they’re doing. I got wrecked the first few rounds trying to spam fireballs, but once you learn the rhythm, it clicks.

It’s not arcade-perfect, but for a home console version? Holds up way better than it has any right to. If you’ve got a Genesis collecting dust, this one’s worth firing up for some old-school throwdowns.
