Street Fighter II Champ Game

Oh man, Street Fighter II: Champion Edition on the Super Nintendo? Talk about a blast from the past! This wasn’t just another port—it was the game that brought the arcade brawler magic straight to your living room. With all the original fighters plus the four Grand Masters (Bison, Balrog, Vega, and Sagat) now playable for the first time, it felt like the ultimate upgrade. The controls were buttery smooth (for the SNES, at least), the sprites popped with color, and those iconic special moves—Hadoukens, Sonic Booms, Spinning Bird Kicks—were so satisfying to pull off.

What made Champion Edition special was how it cranked up the chaos. Mirror matches? Now possible. Faster gameplay? Absolutely. And let’s not forget the bragging rights from beating your friends as the same character. Sure, later versions polished things up, but this was the one that made couch rivalries legendary. If you ever spent hours yelling "Perfect!" after a KO, you know exactly why this game ruled the ’90s.
