Play Street Fighter Ii' - Special Champion Edition Online

I remember getting Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition for my Sega Genesis in 1993. Capcom brought this updated version of their arcade fighter home, and it was a big deal on the console at the time. It felt like having a piece of the arcade right in the living room, without needing a pocket full of quarters.

You pick one of twelve world warriors, like Ryu or Chun-Li, and fight through a series of one-on-one matches. The main goal is to beat every other character and then take down the four grand masters. The game introduced the ability to play as the bosses, which was a huge change. You spend your time executing special moves, like throwing fireballs and performing spinning bird kicks, while managing a six-button control scheme that gave you direct access to different punch and kick strengths. The pacing is fast, and the computer opponents can be brutally cheap, especially on higher difficulty settings. Landing a perfectly timed special move to win a close round feels incredibly satisfying.
