Street Fighter 2 was the first fighting game I owned on my SNES and is still one of my favorites. I skipped Champion Edition but when Turbo came out (the one with E Honda fighting Sagat on the cover) I knew it was good enough to buy again. This version features all the original 8 characters plus the 4 bosses, and the ability to fight with each character against himself, but does not include the 4 "new fighters" who are mostly cheap or ... (I really hate T Hawk). This is in my opinion the superior version of Street Fighter 2 on the best system. It seems like the SNES controller was made for this game, and the action so so smooth and beautiful. I had some fun playing this game against the computer but it really shines in versus mode. I cant tell you how many hours my brothers and I played this game but it became as much of a male bonding activity for us as anything. I think i still remember the code to jack up the turbo from the usual 3 stars to 10 (the matches are over in a matter of seconds) up down left right L Y R B or something like that. Man i really want to play this game again, hopefully my copy will arrive soon. It really is the most balanced and accurate fighting game of all time. ... Hadoken

The Street Fighter II series have been one of the most popular fighting series of all time and Capcom has been releasing many upgraded versions throughout the early to mid '90s. The first one was Street Fighter II, the fighting game that revolutionized the genre, then Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, which featured the same fighting engine only now, you get to play as the bosses like M.Bison, Vega, Balrog, and Sagat. And finally, comes Street Fighter II Turbo, which featured the same characters, including the bosses, but with faster and superior gameplay. Fans and critics agree, that this was one of the greatest Street Fighter titles since the very first release of the series. No one has forgotten how great the game was, even today. The graphics look pretty much the same, but cleaner. The animations to each character look extremely vibrant and colorful. The audio is improved and tweaked. So far, we don't have any bad voice actors (that is until Super Street Fighter II comes up) in this game. And the sounds of hitting still haven't changed one bit. As for the line of characters, still the same as Champion Edition's. You have Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Dhalsim, Blanka, Sagat, M.Bison, Balrog, and Vega. And as for the gameplay, still unsurpassive and unmatched comparing to todays SF titles. The controls are still well balanced but much faster than the first two SFII titles. There's even an option or code where you can increase the speed. There are no other things I have to say about the gameplay, but all I can say is, it's still one of the best playing Street Fighter games ever ! If you still have your SNES and you're planning to sell it, you might want to think twice ! If you have Street Fighter II Turbo in you collection, you might want to keep it ! Who knows ? If you end up selling it and later on feel like playing the game again, it'll probably take forever to find the game again, since it's a rare product now ! But all in all, a true Street Fighter classic ! Even today, not even the newest SF titles can live up to the superior gameplay balance of Street Fighter II Turbo ! This game should definently not be passed up !

just like the 1st one but three times faster you get four boss fighters trust me this is a must have for the street fighter fan O a tip beat it on the hardest seting without losing a round to get the master Rank Easy for eny Master to complete Later

The second Super Nintendo Street Fighter is probably the best installment in the entire Street Fighter series. With now-playable boss characters and a new "Turbo" option to speed up fights, this sequel is more fun than the first Street Fighter. Fans of old school fighters can't go wrong with this one.

This game is a lot faster and there are more characters. I can't think of a better game than this. My advice is buy this game!

Street Fighter II is the most influential fighting game ever created. If that wasn't released in 1991, you wouldn't be playing Soul Calibur or Tekken or Virtua Fighter or Dead-or-Alive or Mortal Kombat...or even Fatal Fury! Considering the immense success of the SNES version of SF2, Capcom decided to do a SNES version of the game's second "sequel" - Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting. This version includes playable bosses, minor alterations to the original fighters and of course, turbo speed.

The first thing you'll notice as you turn on the game is its quality. The graphics and sound effects are as vibrant and powerful as they can get on a SNES conversion! Although lacking the extreme detail and heavy animation of Capcom's modern 2-D fighting games, it had great graphics for its time. The sound effects are plain dazzling! Memorable background music includes...hell, all of 'em! You can also listen to all the audio in the game in the options menu.

If you've played any of the other fighters by Capcom, you'll pick up the controls in ten seconds. There are three kick buttons and three punch buttons. Blocking is performed by pressing the control pad left or right. Special moves are standard Capcom fare and nothing complicated except maybe (though not for me) Zangief's spinning piledriver. The replay value is higher by far than its sequel Super SF2, in which the poor sound kills the long-lasting appeal, or any other 16-bit fighting game. The turbo speed is just the icing on an already solid cake. Plus, if you enter a secret code you can play on a ten-star speed setting, which should be experienced at least once! The playable bosses complement the old fighters with their diversity of moves, and the original cast have a couple of new moves as well.

This is definitely my most-played video game, and with good reason. For those of you who still have a SNES, I simply can't think of a better fighting game you could buy! If you have SF2, then this may not be necessary (although I think it would still be worth checking out due to the low price). This is the definitive SNES fighting game! Prepare to get your face bashed in for good measure! Shoryuken!

The only negative thing I have to say is that this game might not be for those who have experience with newer fighting games. I haven't played a whole lot of fighting games, so I thought I would give one considered a classic a try. This game is really fun, and the controls are good. The downside, is that there really aren't a whole lot of characters to choose from, compared to newer titles. In SF2THF, you can select from 12 characters (which is even more compared to the original SF2's 8 characters). Play a fighting game created within the last few years, and you can usually choose between many unique characters.
Another fault this game has is its design. I never played the arcade version, but this game plays A LOT like an arcade game, and I assume they tried to make this game as close of a port as possible. The only modes you have are Versus against another player, or Campaign, where you face each fighter in a row and play little mini games in between. There is no save feature, so you start over each time you lose (or start with the last fighter if you choose to continue). You can choose many different difficulty settings, but with only one 1P mode, the game doesn't have a whole lot of replay value if you're mostly going to play by yourself (plus, the game can't save high scores).
Anyway, if you want a classic fighting game for the SNES, with a very apparent arcade style, then this is for you.

this game is great, reminds me of when i was younger hanging out at the arcade.

classic like these would never die

Okay I know gaming has evolved over the years but the street figher series helped ignite mortal kombat, killer instinct, virtual fighter, tekken etc. Out of the ones mentioned, street figher always has a special place in my heart.

I was very addicted with the first street figher to come out for the SNES. It wasn't until turbo fighing came out that it put this game on another level. For one, it's faster, like the name obviously implies. You can choose the speed (up to 4 stars) but if you type in the secret password D, R, Up, Left, Y and B after seeing the "Capcom" emblem when turning on the game, you can go buck wild and choose up to 8 stars for speed. 8 stars is insane and isn't most ideal b/c it's so fast but it's a whole lot of fun!

You can play any character and in vs mode, there are no restrictions (Sagat vs Sagat etc). Graphics for it's time is sensational and is pretty darn comparable to the arcade. One small difference is that if you use Ken or Ryu and win, his hand kind of raises straight up as opposed to an angle, like in the arcade. But it's not a knock on the game, just an observation.

Overall it's a game I still love to play whenever I see it in the arcades. I especially love it when I get to compete against others.

We've had this game before but we had lost it and were so happy to find it on line. We have a x-box 360 and a wii, but find ourselves playing the super nin. b/c of the awesome old school games like this!
