The Great Retro Quiz! .16: Street Fighter II

The Great Retro Quiz! .16: Street Fighter II photo
     Capcom

Welcome, everyone, to another edition of The Great Retro Quiz: the weekly feature that puts your knowledge of classic videogames to the test! *holding up applause sign*

This is the first quiz of 2008, so I needed to open with a bang. A Shoryuken-screaming, fireball-tossing, Dhalsim-pounding bang, to be exact.

With all the Street Fighter IV madness that has been going around as of late, it felt the perfect time to see how much you all knew about the original fighting masterpiece, Street Fighter II. True, it is not where the series technically began, but, let’s be honest, this is when it started getting really good.

I have some sad news, though: it seems my prize cache has run dry. Because of this, I only have my heartfelt admiration and undying respect to offer you should you do well. Actually, if you live close to the Los Angeles area, I can also throw in a hug. How’s that?

I apologize for the lack of tangible rewards, but, don’t worry, prizes will once again be offered up in the future. In the meantime, you can still leave your answers in the comments to show off how much you know (or don’t know) to the world! Just check my community blog tomorrow (1/3) for the correct answers and to see how you did.

ROUND 1! HIT THE JUMP! Good luck!

And for 24 I think you meant for a picture of Ken to be up there? Ken has the ship at the dock where as Ryu is fighting at some Dojo like place in japan.

I'm a moron. I reverse the L-trigger and A whenever I play Street Fighter on the SNES and Playstation. Question #13 should be B, which is the light kick. The default L-trigger is the fierce kick.

Bonus: Chun-Li (Goes double for SF3)

#18 is a bit of a trick question. Due to the fighter bitmap flipping along the vertical axis, Sagat's eyepatch changes eyes depending upon which way he's facing. However, going by the interstitials, artwork, etc. his eyepatch should be on his right eye. Same reason caused the word on Dee Jay's pants in SSF2 to be changed from "ULTRA" to "MAXIMUM" for final build. Write the words with all the letters stacked vertically then flip the letters sideways to see what I mean. I declare this way too long explanation to be a vote in favor of me for any potential tie-breaking purposes.

End of line.

Bonus: Chun-Li for just the original SF II, Cammy if you count Super SF II. Both are great characters.


Now send me my present for winning, because I know I got all 25 right.

CHUNLI

also, the move ones depend on what direction you're facing... and chun-li's pose can be done with any button if you change the controls, i think.

i still think i got at least a golden robot
