General: As far as I'm concerned, this is the game that launched the fighting game genre into mainstream. Street Fighter 2 became a household name only years after it's debut. SF2 re-introduced a few of the same characters from the original Street Fighter, but developing the characters more in appearance and giving them many more standard and special moves. Capcom revamped all of the fighter's animations, and created some memorable backdrops to stage these soon to be "historic" battles.

Comment: I was just a kid when this game was released, and I simply couldn't get enough of it... It became one of the staples and standards for fighting games at the time of it's debut. The diversity and personality of the characters along with the greatest head to head gameplay to date is really what "made" the game.
