which was the thing every gamer
wanted back in the day. But most importantly, it forged great friendships
amongst players. You’d talk strategies, techniques and always had a
“go to“ sparring partner to test stuff
on. But most importantly, it got us
playing together. An art form that’s
sadly lost in the digital age. Playing over an internet connection with
your friend chatting to you through
your headset is one thing, but noth-
ing beats having your mate sitting
next to you on the couch, couple of
beers, a bowl of chips, epic battles
and plenty of laughs. It’s not uncommon for me to still do the same these
days. Ultra Street Fighter 4 and a
room full of mates, makes for a great
night in.
So, there it is. Street Fighter 2, the
single most important game in the
90s and the King of all AAA titles re-
leased in the yesteryear.
I salute you!
Hadouken!
