Man, Super Street Fighter Challenge 2 on SNES takes me back—that chunky cartridge, the slightly pixelated but still awesome sprites, and that unmistakable hadouken sound effect. You boot it up, and bam, you're staring at Ryu and Ken on the title screen like it's 1994 again.

At first, I just mashed buttons with Chun-Li (because, let's be honest, spinning bird kick is the coolest move), but then you start figuring out the timing for fireballs and dragon punches. The controls feel tight, even if the SNES pad isn't quite an arcade stick. And M. Bison? Still a nightmare to fight—his psycho crusher spam is brutal.

It's not just nostalgia, either. There's something about the way the combos chain together, or how you can read an opponent’s jump-in and punish it with a well-timed shoryuken. The AI isn’t messing around, either—you’ll lose a few rounds before it clicks. But when it does? Pure satisfaction.

If you’ve got a buddy to play with, even better. Nothing beats the trash talk when someone pulls off a perfect.
