/vr/ - Retro Games

I think Street Fighter II Turbo is basically a perfect kind of fighting game, or timeless. I can always pick it up and play. But for me, I prefer the Fatal Fury series. KOF series was a good spinoff that eventually became more popular than FF, but FF series (including Real Bout series) are top fighting for me.

The thing is, back in the 80s and 90s, there was no "weebshit" in the way we mean nowadays.
Japanese media in the west was seen as weird, alternative and cool. The notion of someone who "obsess over japanese culture" was more tied to martial artist guys like Steven Seagal than comic or animation fans, I guess.
For video games, it wasn't even a question. Unless you were a PC guy who played mostly FPSs and RTSs, you knew the best shit was coming from Japan. And nobody accused others of being "weebs" or whatever because everyone was playing japanese games.
Pre-internet/social media was a simpler time I guess.

I mean, if one of your complaints about FF was the plane switch, then you'd hate FF3 because it has 3 different planes instead of 2 like the other games.
Real Bout kept the 2 plane and made it faster and smoother.
