The SNES versions alone sold over 10 million units, a staggering number even by today's standards.

At the time, 2D fighters weren't in the limelight, but CAPCOM's unique and simplistic touch, featuring one-on-one fights against animated backdrops, won people over - and it won them over fast. A generation of gamers grew up memorizing quarter-circle punch maneuvers - something that is now ingrained as muscle memory - and learned to love the eccentric cast of characters.
During the '90s Street Fighter II equaled fighting.
