If you were to ask any serious video game enthusiast about which game they consider to be the king of fighting games, 99.9 percent of the time you're going to get the same answer, and here's a hint, it's not going to be the one with the word "king" in the title.
For almost two decades, the Street Fighter 2 line of fighting games have dominated the genre. Their easy to learn yet difficult to master nature has kept them relevant throughout the progressing years of advancing technology; and while modern fighting games have moved into 3D, gotten larger, and became much more complex; they never trumped Street Fighter 2's package of simple mechanics and infinite levels of mastery.

I played street fighter 2 for years on my SNES even after I got my N64. It was just relaxing the way you could beat the snot out of such iconic characters.
Great news for all PS3 fans (blasphemyyyyyyyy, how can a PC gaming site talk about PS3 fans, how, HOW, HOOOOOOWWWWW) as RPCS3 is making a lot of progress. Since the launch of a Patreon campaign, its author has been working hard on it and it appears that its latest version can run a couple of games.
well it's not almost playable but very interesting. probably like a year or 2 from being fully playable

Well, we just found out that Capcom, one of the better retro supporting companies out there, has this package with Humble Bundle full of Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 games. You better hurry and grab this one because time is running out."
I wish Sony would get the licenses for all the classic arcade games from the 80s and 90s for the PS4.. I dont see why they wouldnt want to make money? I miss those brawlers like xmen, tmnt, etc.. So many great games people are forced to play on mame
Great classic game!
