I was wondering why something about this game felt even better than playing it on the cabinet and it turns out this iteration plays similar to Street Fighter 2 turbo which, to me, is the only good release of SF2. didn't even notice the additional characters at first. game has a pretty decent soundtrack now that im not surrounded by a bulkload of arcade machines. im bumping up my rating from the arcade release simply because id like to imagine the extras in the background had fun working on the game
