Arcade Games of all time #14

Street Fighter II is the sequel of the original Street Fighter and is considerably more popular. Street Fighter was created in 1991 by Capcom. This game as a huge step up mainly because of the overall character selection with there own super epic special moves. Street Fighter II is credited for starting the fighting game boom during the 1990s and since then it has been Camcom's best selling consumer game as of 2008 and has evolved into three different sub sequels with new rivals and alternative gameplay makes this the arcade nerds dream. When I think of any Street Fighter game all I can really think of is the whole idea of taking my anger out in a way safe way while doing moves I would love to be able to do on that one bully at school so i think one reason of this games success is the whole idea that it hits home for the people who could not normally defend themselves kind of a portal to a whole new world. One cool thing about Street Fighter II is that the first boss's name is M.Bison who is based off of the famous African-American boxer Mike Tyson but unfortunatly they could not use his name due to a likeness infringement lawsuit.
