This.
I played this game a lot when it was released on sega, even bought the joystick controller to more simulate the arcade.
I have a little story about this, kinda bad but Im gonna share it anyways.

I was in Tokyo, Japan a few years back and I found the Sega building, its like 5 or 6 floors of arcades.
I stepped inside and was blown away, games aging back to the 80's till now, so you really got see a lot of the advancement made
as the games are played side by side.
One one floor its all about this robots game, where you are Robot and you fight... other robots and it looked great.
So i jumped on a stack and started trying to learn my way through all the moves this little kid rolls over and drops his token in and smashes me,
and he has this evil mischievous face on. I smile at him... the best I can, so I move over one, he knows what hes doing, I'm a noob so I'm trying to learn
so I kinda wanta get the moves down before challenging players... NOT gonna happen, he had WAY to much fun last round I guess and did it again.
Ok... now the F'er is following me, so I walk over to the very dated Street Fight 2, and start playing, he comes and watches for a second, then KERPLUNK,
IN GOES THE TOKEN. You think I would be mad, but it was very satisfying pulling multiple perfects in a row off on this kid. I smiled big and looked down and gave him the
customary "WHAT NOW BITCH" look, he looked sad and walked away.
Thank you Street Fighter.

This legendary title belongs in any sega fighting game collectors library, i own it as well as super street fighter II and wouldnt part with either of them. Must have the 6 button pad to enjoy this game, but thats common knowledge to any genesis fighting game fan. I remember back when this version first came out how excited i was that the boss characters were playable, and this title was when i made the switch from playing as ken nearly always to playing as sagat, the tiger uppercut really nails the oponet for a ton of health. I thought this version really stood out from the snes SF2s prior to super just for the fact of the added playable characters. I always beleived that genesis held the upper had in the fighting game genre, just as the same as snes always held the rpg genre in hand. I reccomend this game to any genesis fighting fan, even if you already own SSF2, i thought the sounds were a lot more crisp in this version than super for genesis, even tho i do love them both. A must have for the collector, no genesis fighting game library is complete without this version, want to make it even awesomer? pick up the genesis 6 button arcade joystick, its sure to please!

This game can keep you entertained for hours. Sure, I never got around to defeating M. Bison, but that's why there's two player. In two player mode, you can do handicap (fun), a team match (also fun) or just one on one (still fun). Let's not forget the amazing roster of fighters. My favorites have to be Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, and Dhalsim. If you have a Genesis, I highly recommend it-c'mon, it's better than the Nintendo version. Sure it's not as good as Street Fighter 4, but it's still a fun bargain. As soon as I get the cables for my Genesis (I don't know what happened to my other cables) I'm going to start playing it again.

I bought this game earlier this year,I use to rent this game back when this system was popular.This game is different from a lot of fighters like Mortal Kombat,it has strategy that involves timing moves at the right time.For example,Ken/Ryu have slow,medium,and fast fireball when pressed with light,medium,and heavy punch buttons.The problem with game is that you must have a six button controller or you will have to press start to change the kicks from the punches,plus its way more fun with the six button controller.The graphics are pretty close to the arcade counterpart,and still look really great compared to some of the other Genesis games.I own Street Fighter Alpha 3 on Dreamcast,so I have experience about Street Fighters games.I still think even after all these years SF2 is one of the greatest fighters to come out,or maybe it's just me thinking about childhood memories of playing this game early in the morning before anyone got up.

The pros: close to arcade experience,creative fighters,light-medium-heavy buttons add more strategy to gameplay,beautiful backgrounds,added extra hyper mode to add to really fast experience for people with a.d.d.,bosses are pickable now,before it was just the eight fighters only

The cons: some animations are cut out,must have six button controller or it won't be fun,charge moves make some fighters uneven like Blanka and E.Honda

I loved the game because of the graphics, sounds, music, and the charaters on the game!

I bought this game 2 days before it was released back in the day for a whopping $80!!! Now you can get it used for 44 cents....oh my! That's why I'm skipping this new generation of consoles entirely.I still get great joy from the xbox 1 and I do have a psp which is great for the nostalgic games that I loved growing up as a kid on the go...

I know what you'e thinkin'!! I love Street Fighter 2, especially the Champion Edition because it super cool, fun, and has the outstanding graphics for its time, great selectable characters, and fluent controls. Thats good and all for Super NES releases, but what was Sega thinking when releasing this game on the Genesis? Read carefully because there are two major things I find wrong with the release on this console.

1. The buttons are limited. I know that the Genesis has three main buttons other than start, but a standard fighting game has six buttons (HK, MK, LK, HP, MP, LP), not three!! I don't know if this game is programmed for Genesis' new six button controller, but in order to use punch and kick buttons, you have to switch it up by pressing start, but that sucks the fun out of the game when you are trying to use a combination of moves to make it possible to defeat your opponent.
2. THERE'S NO PAUSE BUTTON!!! In order to make a button to switch up from punches to kicks and vice versa, they made it for the start button!!
Theres absolutely no excuse for a 16-bit game to not have a pause button!
If you dare to play this game on the Genesis, make sure you have no interruptions: go to the bathroom before playing, make sure your parents don't need anything for two hours, and leave a message on your answering machine that says "I'm playing Street Fighter 2 on the Genesis that has no pause button, leave a message after the beep. BEEP!"

What a rip off! If you want to play the same classic game with the same graphics, but with more working control buttons and a pause button, get it for Super NES.
