street fighter 2 is the greatest game ever made, in any genre. I'm one of those people that never stopped playing it, when I was in tokyo last year I was surprised to find the game still has a big following there at an arcade level.
tekken divides opinions as unlike street fighter series it's very heavily based on combo setups which are difficult and time consuming to learn, but I've always liked the series. there's a arcade in london I'd sometimes go to with friends after we'd been drinking as it's open til 2, playing the chinatown fresh-off-the-boat immigrant waiters whilst drunk never got old.
