second, don't you feel as if it's the ultimate fighiting game? i mean, the precise controls, the moves, the graphics. Every new fighting game borrows from it, but they never seem to get the feeling right. I mean, tekken is all right and all, but I'll have ten times more fun playing SFII against my friends than I would have playing Tekken 3 tag with them.
and also: in every new game that comes out you can just look at the characters and say: "oh, that's their ryu" or "that's their Chun-Li". You can always see were they've got it from.
