Wii - Street Fighter II: The World Warrior - Virtual Console - Street Fighter Week: Combo Comparison About 15 years ago you couldn't set foot into an arcade without elbowing your way through a busting throng of Street Fighter II experts.

Wii - Street Fighter II: The World Warrior - Virtual Console - Top 7... weirdest Street Fighter insults When it hit arcades back in 1991, Street Fighter II: The World Warrior instantly perfected two things: balanced martial-arts fighting that let players choose from a variety of wildly different styles, and trash talking.
