Street Fighter II: Champion Edition

The measuring stick. For fighting games anyway.

Gameplay

Maybe it's the controller but I had a hard time executing special moves like a fireball. I'd wind up jumping most of the time. I had to do it so slowly.

4 / 5

Level Design

Same levels but they have a little more animation and some alternate colors like the sunset in Guile's level.

4 / 5

Theme

Same game as before. I like the post fight insults

4 / 5

Art Style

Looks good but a step down from the beautiful colors and animation in the SNES version.

1 / 5

Audio

Oh wow the sound is embarrassing. The voices are particularly awful but the music is also garbled and just wrong. Also the sounds are too loud and drown out the music.
I dare you not to mute Dahlsim's level. Holy cow. It's terrible. There's something seriously wrong with those poor elephants.
I feel bad for any kid who heard this before hearing the arcade or SNES versions.
