Retro Throwback: Super Street Fighter II

I always knew Street Fighter existed, but never really paid attention to it. I didn't really get into fighting games until I was 12, with Super Smash Bros Melee, then proper fighting games at 16 with Soul Calibur 2 and 3, rapidly progressing onto Tekken 5 and various Guilty Gear games. But Street Fighter I never touched.

Until now, where I decided to try one of the SNES ones. Now I wish I'd picked it up a little sooner. I still prefer Tekken/SoulCal/GG, but Street Fighter can still have a place in my fighting game repertoire.

I also have a growing love of the character design, mostly the female designs. Chun-Li and Cammy both have visible muscles! I'm way too used to seeing the slender-but-strong characters like Tira, Asuka and Millia, that to see a strong and muscled female character is slightly bizarre, but not unwelcome at all.
