he ends the conversation with a sad: “Anybody remember that?.” The whole moment had big “Please, clap” vibes.

I asked for Street Fighter 2 for Christmas, but got Streets of Rage 2. Immediate-term disappointment, but turned out to be a Christmas Miracle. Bonus, I ended up getting Super Street Fighter 2 in the future instead. As someone who always played with the speed up at max, I can’t imagine who I would have become if I…
