Besides pic related, are there any other sequels that completely and utterly outclassed the originals to the point of making them little more than a neat historical curiosity?

People saying games like Mega Man and Metroid are missing the spirit of the question. Sure MM2 is usually liked more than MM but there are still a lot of people who like the first best or at least better than most of the later games. With the Street Fighter franchise you're not gonna find anyone on the planet who prefers 1 over 2 unless they're trolling.

tbf, almost no other game pulled off what SF2 did. SF1 was a janky arcade game that even at the time wasn't very good. SF2 literally invented modern fighting games.

There are lots of sequels that are better than the first game. A sequel that's so good that there's little point to going back to the original however is insanely rare. Even Mega Man, while 2 is an objectively better MM game than 1, 1 is still fine by comparison.

How is it not? Fighting games existed before SF2, but so many things standard to fighters only have them because SF2 popularized and standardized them over its iterations
>combos (which funnily as we all know it was completely unintented, but hey, mistakes into miracles)
>super moves that work off of a gauge
>the 6-button configuration for attacks
>crossover characters (since Final Fight dudes later got added to it)
>characters having massively different playstyles (before this 90% of characters played exactly the same in fighting games and it was all aesthetics)
>throw teching (though some will say SoR2 is the first true innovator of it a year later)
Fighting games would be unrecognizable today if SF2 didn't exist. Who knows what different direction it could've gone in.

Super Moves of the kind found today where it's based on a gauge? Not in FF, and Art of Fighting used it for all specials and not super specials (what they had for Desperation Moves was closer to Ultras in SF4), and KoF1 didn't come out until 94.

Let me guess, you also say the same about X2 and X1? You absolute retardation of a man.

No actually, I never understood why people consider X2 better than X1. But MM1 is very rough around the edges, and I forgive that because it was literally their first attempt.

I know you like it more - but that's not the question. OOT is still the one noted historically.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Wolfenstein - however the point about being made irrelevant by Doom is also true.

>>11231745
No one under the age of 30 perhaps. It's true though that they made the change in genres so successfully that the top down games aren't even thought about by current game players.

I'd go with Age of Empires II, even though the original is still a great game.

It is playable but there is no reason too since you could be playing Super which is just much better in every conceivable way.

If you're a soulless husk then yeah you might see Super vs original as just iterative but the original does have a certain feel to its atmosphere that Super doesn't quite achieve
