Super Street Fighter II Turbo


Review: The last official arcade sequel to the Street Fighter II series, Super Street Fighter II Turbo featured four speed settings, new moves and animations for all returning characters, new combo possibilities, and the debut of a new secret character: Akuma.
 

Enter the super move.

Super Turbo also debuted the "super meter" for the first time in the series, allowing fighters to unleash powerful super combos when the gauge filled up. The super meter slowly increases as characters perform and connect with special moves and attacks. This little element alone added a lot of replay value to the classic, and some would say "old" game. Still, Super Turbo is regarded as one of the best Street Fighter installments out there and one of the best 2D fighting games of all time.

My money's on Sagat in this one.

Final Words:

The overall look of the game was somewhat dated on it's launch (since it pretty much looked the same as previous installments). 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; which really did add a lot to the classic 2D gameplay.

Super Turbo is no doubt the definitive game in the SF2 series. The game was "re-imagined" 14 years after the initial launch, given a complete graphical makeover with Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
