Nostalgia. This was a lot of people's first, and maybe only, fighting game.

ST is a bit wonky but it's simplicity makes it one of the coolest games to watch depending on the matchups. While sadly characters like O. Sagat and Vega exist matchups like Ryu vs Guile could have an essay written about them, they're just amazing to watch.

It really depends on what you value in a fighting game. Alpha 3 for example is a game I just can't get into, V-ism makes it feel like an absolute mess.

In Mexico SNK cabinets were cheaper then Capcom ones due to their lesser popularity. While arcades and such obviously had Capcom ones places like convenience stores and laundromats just wanted a cabinet to get some easy change, so of course they opted for the cheaper machines.
