SNES was a great console but I don't think SF owes anything to that system.If anything, Capcom owes everything to arcades. It was the arcade that made SF2 such a monster hit.
SNES version of SF2 was good but it sold because SF2 on Arcade was super popular, not the other way around.
I really think this is one of very few games that deserve a perfect 10 out of 10 but that was a great review and getting 8.5 from Tom is almost like 10/10 :)
True, there are a few more troubling undertones here than we are used to but it is a freaking game and ALL that matter is whether or not it is a good / fun one or a bad / boring one.
