When the game was released we searched for an arcade that had it... but only found a single location within a 20 mile radius. When we went to check it out there wasn't a single player. I didn't think the game would be a blockbuster, but I expected it to have some buzz. I guess the average Street Fighter fan just wasn't accepting of anything that broke the mold. The letdown continued when I found that the backgrounds were replaced for the home version. I'm far from grieving, but it would have been cool to appear on the Saturn and Playstation too.
I suppose there will be some who don't believe this story. My only rebuttal is: why would I make something so utterly trivial up? For the rest, thanks for taking the
two minutes to read this page.. and of course thanks to Alan for giving me an interesting story to share.
