Super Street Fighter II Turbo (PS4)
Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (SNES)

So much for saving Super Turbo "for later". I honestly don't think "gitting gud" would have made much of a difference because seriously, fuck the arcade in this game. I'm hearing that the arcade version for Super Turbo was rigged to always be the hardest difficulty no matter what setting you put it on, which got retained in the 30th Anniversary Collection, and it sure fucking felt like that.

Of course I saved scum my way through, which did lead me to fight Akuma as I was going for, and I save scum that fight too because holy shit is he tough!

So as a comparison I also did a run on the SNES version of The World Warrior for the first time, and while I may have gotten a bit better at the game from playing more recently, it did feel a lot more fair on the default difficulty than when I was playing the arcade version. Vega, Sagat, and M. Bison still sucked to fight though.

What's interesting about the SNES version of World Warrior is that all the character endings were re-done for the SNES, so they look different than on arcade. SFII Turbo however, uses the endings from the arcade version.

I'm a pretty big SNES guy, so getting another game beaten for it, which I haven't done in a long time, is always nice.

Anyways, since I'm done with Street Fighter II in general, I can say....it does show its age. Like it still holds up very well for its time, but the movements can be a little stiff for me. I see it the same as I would for Smash 64, where it's great for laying the foundation of the franchise (much better than Street Fighter 1 did that's for sure), but I'd probably prefer playing the later games in the series. Like I had more enjoyment playing the one 3rd Strike ranked match I did for a trophy than my entire time playing SFII on this 30th Anniversary Collection.
