Street Fighter 2

Spinning Vas of Kick? ?

[SuperNatural]

I'm upsessed with Street Fighter II. I love the games, I watch have all the Street Fighter II V episodes on DVD, and I'm in love with Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. Ryu, Ken, Guile, Blanka, Chung Li, Bison, Balrog, Vega, Dhalsim,... such a great cast. My favorite of all fighters, but then again I'm completely bias. ;)

It's the first fighter I played that I liked.

Chun-li's upside down kick is called Spinning Bird Kick. That's also what she says when she does it.

And Guile's the one who says "Go home and be a family man."

But yeah, SF2 got me into multiplayer games, period. The characters, gameplay, and story of SF2 are unmatched, in my opinion. What I like about the gameplay is its freedom. It's been like 14 or 15 years and people that still play it still discover new combos in the game.

SF3 came along and made it even better.

I like Akuma (yes I know he is from alpha)

I've been wanting to play this again for a while. I don't know where the heck my 'Anniversary Collection' disappeared to.
Street Fighter 2 is coming to Xbox Live next week, really looking forward to that--regardless if the online sucks, I can still download it for free. I have an arcade stick for my 360 already.

Akuma 'first' appears in the later versions of Street Fighter 2. Street Fighter Alpha takes place between SF1 and 2. Also note than in Alpha, Ryu's headband is white while in SF2 it's red. Ken gives Ryu his red 'hairband' before the events of Street Fighter 2 (watch the movies).
