General: Capcom keeps it's tradition alive and dishes out one more title out of the hit Street Fighter 2 series. This update to Super Street Fighter 2, adds gameplay tweaks, the debut of Akuma, and of course, faster gameplay. With this installment, the "super meter" was introduced for the first time in the series, which of course allows players to unleash a powerful super move... Which was a newer gameplay element that didn't really take off until the later Street Fighter Alpha series.

Closing Comment:
The overall look of the game was somewhat dated on it's launch (since it pretty
much looked 'the same' as the many installments in the series that came before
it). The gameplay also may have felt re-hashed to some since there were
only a few small tweaks... Of course the super meter being the most prominent
one. However, no doubt Super Turbo is a true classic of a fighting game,
and a fan favorite at that. This version was hands down the best in the SF2
series... Until of course, it was beautifully "re-imagined" 14 years after
the initial launch, given a complete graphical makeover with Super
Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix. ~F.Yagami,
