When people who have only played fighting games over an internet connection start weighing in on FGs I just shake my head. They are engaged in a perverse imitation of the real thing. You can't psyche someone out 300 miles away. You can't feel the intensity in the arcade as the 8+ people watching cheer and boo.
SF2 didn't release with the expectation to be a global phenomenon either. SF1 was trash. Fighting games weren't really a thing in '91, beat'em ups were. Someone in Japan had a good idea and they followed through with it because they were passionate about it. They made it work in spite of previously held notions that it couldn't.
