I asked myself what is Street Fighter...to me it's nostalgia...

Back in 1992 I played my first fighting game, it was Street Fighter 2 on the SNES.
I was 6 years old and was more used to playing Point & Click Adventure games in DOS, the RTS Dune II, or Beat'em Ups like Double Dragon & Golden Axe. But soon was to grow a love of the fighting franchises, even if my early years were spent hammering the controller! I was just too young to figure out any moves while frantically getting beaten time and time again by my Brother.

Later we would go on to try out Mortal Kombat, Virtua Fighter and King of Fighters '95, but Street Fighter 2 started it all off. It was challenging and fun and I wanted to see every ending movie! If it wasn't my go I'd sit there thumbing through the manual trying to learn all their moves and soak up all their back stories. Manuals aren't so interesting anymore...that's even if you get one nowadays.

We had many tournaments in my household, almost always my brother the winner unless my Father came in with his one kick over and over again! But it didn't stop me trying!

Street Fighter will always be a firm favourite, so from someone whose fought many matches over the years here's the characters I first played with in my SF2 poster.

All characters belong to Capcom.
