The graphics are understandably fairly basic by todays standards, especially when put side by side by Guilty Gear and the VS series, but for the time were amazing, with parallax scrolling and clipping that actually worked (a first for the beat 'em up genre). The fighting system has arguably never been bettered, only improved with time by the Capcom development team. The control system is intuitive, but to get the most out of it on PC you should own a joypad as the keyboard does not give the game justice. It's influence on the gaming community is astronomical, and as such deserves its rightful place as a legendary game. Street Fighter 2 is where the entire 2D fighting genre started pretty much, it's only other competition was the just as good King of Fighters series from SNK.
