Yeah, without a doubt.  I'm in the arcade business and the success of SF2CE is legendary.  I remember playing it in the mall when it came out, too... one summer, when I was about 13, I spent the entire summer at fucking WAL-MART stealing things, and playing the SF2CE machine they had up front with my friends.  Really pretty funny; we'd stand around for maybe half an hour, then somebody'd play.... then we'd stand around a lil' longer... then somebody else would play... we did this all fuckin' summer. 

I distinctly remember when MK2 came out, too, I used to ride my bike to the mall, every day, after school to play it and steal comic books.  LOL.  That game was doing so well, they were putting steel cages inside the cabinet, because people were breaking the back door off and stealing the PCB. 

No fighting games have earned money in the arcade, though, since Tekken III, which still earns if you have it out on location.  Everyting else, people just play at home, it's identical.  Tekken III for some reason still makes money, though... and if you have a Tekken III, and a Tekken IV in two nearly identical spots, the Tekken III makes a ton more money, not really sure why that is.

I voted for Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat 2, I think SF shades it, but I spent so much time playing both of them when I was younger, that to vote for one over the other would have been unfair, because they were both classic games. I really need to pick up a second hand SNES or Megadrive, and get these games again.

yeah it probably is... the japan version was released quite some time ago.  people in the US have to wait until february to get ahold of it.  unless of course you're downloading it...

i was never really into street fighter. i i played it, but not as much as mortal kombat. and when killer instinct came out in the arcades that was prob my fav of them all.i remember owning ppl with the werewolf doin like 50 hit combos. think they made a sequel too if i remember correctly that was better.

I remember when Mortal Kombat came out, the line for Street Fighter was soo long to play, so I just was like... fuck it I'll play this since no one was around. The next week, the line for Mortal Kombat was just as long. That was my earliest memories of the SF vs. MK.

Now, I used to think, nothing would ever beat Street Fighter II as my favorite game, until I played Street Fighter Alpha 3 at college. My memories of all my arcade battles, winning and losing, all were erased by the memories of me staying up late at night just beating the shit outta people. So well Street Fighter II in the arcade was the best, Street Fighter Alpha 3 I just whipped the shit outta people, so I have to go with that.

i would have voted but you left too many good fighters off the list

SF2 gets my vote. I liked Marvel vs Capcom 2 better than any fighter, and it owes its roots to sf2 obviously.

Street Fighter 2 was my shit back in the day, then Street Fighter 2 Turbo was dope and Killer Instinct was crazy dope aswell.

MK was aight, i didn't know any of those finishers tho (apart from knockin' 'em onto the spikes) and some of my boys did so i stuck to SF and then KI when it dropped, fuck getting whipped and turnt into a baby.
