Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Site Opens

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Gamespot story about a new official Capcom site for the 15th anniversary of the Street Fighter series. Although much of the actual page is in Japanese, celebrations apparently include a music competition where you can remix Street Fighter tunes, a cosplay competition where you dress up as your favorite SF character, and a traveling exhibition of Street Fighter art. Hard to believe it's been 15 years since the first Street Fighter, and 12 since the launch of Street Fighter II.

Best Game Ever?

[kmhebert]

I have to say that the original SF2 is one of the best video games ever. I put so many quarters into that game! To this day if I find an original SF2 machine I have to put in a quarter and try my luck once more. I had played Karate Champ and even SF1 but for some reason this game's player vs. player option really "worked" for me. The controls were intuitive (pull back for block, as oppossed to the "block" button that ruined Mortal Kombat for me) and the special moves were easy to use, but not SO easy that a bunch of button slaps could make you a great player. The first time I beat M. Bison I yelled and screamed at the machine, I had DEFEATED this insidious enemy! When the SNES version came out I sent my brother to the store with 80 hard earned dollars (do you remember they charged $80 when it first came out???) and we played for, heh, well, years on end. I got my money's worth and then some. I love this game and I will be on the lookout for special SF2 events.
