I really never understood the craze of this game. If you can get past ryu's ki blasts thdn he uppercuts you and starts shooting at you again. If you manage to make it to bison he stands on your head over and over until you die. Same with chun li. If you can get past sagats flying discs then he uppercuts you. If you try to attack guile he does his knee saber thing. Balrog gets you in a corner and stuns you with each hit and blocking still lowers your health, but attacking makes you get hit and die. The game at medium difficulty abuses the meta knowledge it has where if you punch and it punches, the favor is in the games timing and details so much that you are the one that gets hit. Plainly, the game is not fun due to a a computer tgat absurdly measures everything to its advantage to where every time you attack the game has measured and counter attacks flawlessly like a kid playing a master at chess. I hold my own in fighting games and am well versed in them, but the meta knowledge kills this game for me. # star because i honestly don't enjoy this game anymore. As a kid with nosalgia maybe, buy now as an adult, no.
