The Street Fighter II Test
March 6th, 2007
There is a test that I perform on all of my multimedia gadgets. This includes phones, pocket PCs, and any other device that is out there. The test is the “Street Fighter 2 Test”. Yes, Street Fighter 2 was the game that many of us old farts grew up with and hence have a special place in our hearts for. Back in the day, no single arcade game swept through the country’s schools like this game did. I remember there were entire arcade centers with rows and rows of Street Fighter 2 and all of its variants: Championship Edition, Hyper, Super, Alpha, etc etc. Then when I went to college, my buddy ODJ brought his SNES and we battled nonstop for 2 years. I was ultimately crowned champion and everybody feared playing me(that’s my version anyway)
It doesn’t take a lot of hardware these days to run Street Fighter 2, but if you get a device you better make sure it meets this minimal standard. I’ve had my Samsung A920 phone for some time now, and YES, it has passed this test as you can see here:
