I am officially nominating this episode for an Emmy!🏆

Dan portraying the Raul Julia version of M. Bison definitely made me laugh for sure! XD

I was one of the few "lucky" ones who grew up with Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo on the 3DO as my main SF2 experience. For a short window of time, I was one of the coolest kids in the neighborhood.

Man I haven't watched this channel in years. The production quality has gotten a lot better 😂

I'm surprised Dan didn't bring up the fact the continue screen has the character animation on the Sega Genesis while the SNES characters remains still.

I love these guys they’ll never get old

Always nice to see Sam reprising her famed Chun-Li role 👍

Nin Nin Hall is the location of Balrog's stage in Street Fighter II. Similar to the Buppo reference in Ken's Super stage, Nin-Nin is actually the nickname of Akira Nishitani who, alongside Akira Yasuda (Akiman), were principal planners on Street Fighter II and are listed first in the game's credits. This also explains why the owner of the default high-score in Street Fighter II is 'NIN'. Just FYI guys...

Your show always makes me feel good inside. It's an escape from the heaviness of the world, and the fact that I grew up in the mid-late 90s with Genesis and SNES really puts the cherry on top. Always looking forward to every episode!!!

Loved the “Tuesday” street fighter movie reference! RIP Raul Julia

I was today's days old when I realized the Genesis version had the option to play against all 16 opponents as well as the standard 12. I own a copy for both consoles and have always preferred the SNES port but clearly I didn't play enough of the Genesis port.

I have both ports. The SNES graphics/sound are a bit better than Genesis, but the Genesis gameplay is better. I prefer the Genesis, because it has the expert mode that you can fight all 16 characters minus the bonus rounds.

This will be a tough one, as they're both great ports. Definitely one of my favourites from the "Street Fighter II" era. Looking forward to seeing what kind of parody the duo come up with, and what inventive way Pat answers, "Yes".

Another great overview of a fun game from the past. I remember playing this as a kid on the Mega Drive and how shocked we all were when we found out that you could have a double KO in a fight, giving it up to four rounds. Blew our minds as kids. Good times. Good times.

"Best sound goes to Sega Genesis!" - lmfao. World's biggest stretch for a game that's classicly known for some of the worst sound ever.

I honestly cannot fathom why you don't have a million subs yet, it haunts me.. Thanks for all your hard work, seriously!!

I like how the SNES has the music stop to hear the final win sound at the end of the match. It felt more dramatic.

Thought you guys would hit the fact that the SNES version can be played fully with the default controller while the Genesis version requires the additional purchase of a six button controller.

This is a dead tie all around. It does not matter which one you choose. They are both awesome. Next episode is Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety (I think).

Amazing editing, brilliant humor! Your channel deserves million+ subscribers!

I agree with everything except that the Sega Genesis version plays and controls better.

This one felt like cutting it close given how similar the two games are within each other. Other than that it was a great video and a wonderful tribute to the iconic Street Fighter 2 series.

Genesis has more voice clips but no way it should’ve won in sound. The music on the genesis is horrendous. I would give the final decision a tie, they are both excellent ports of the game and I actually prefer playing them over the arcade version because the arcade version plays slow while the snes and genesis version has the speed options with extra content

If you're really picky the SNES version had a pinch of input lag/delay. The Sega version was spot on 1:1 control.

Haven't seen the episode yet. But I have to put it at a tie. They are both fantastic. Genesis's biggest problem is the scratchy compressed sounds. But it plays just a little bit closer to the arcade than the SNES version.

I'm surprised the 6 button controller wasn't brought up for gameplay. As well as the Genesis D-Pad being better for fighting game inputs.

One of the best episodes yet. I laughed so hard at the end. Keep it up guys!

Great episode guys. I had no real idea that SNES "Super Street Fighter 2" was censored ala "Mortal Kombat", but even though it was technically censored, one must question how the images of characters with white fluid being billed as sweat made it passed the censors. Also dug the opening and closing bits, the Anger Management bit was a hoot, especially seeing Chun-Li rant about her various live-action movies portrayals and Dan's Raul Julia Bison. Same for the closing bits, for the bonus stage bits, very well done.

You guys do good shows!

Definitely worth seeing you guys do Super Street Fighter II. I was thinking the Super Nintendo might win but I'll be darned, Sega won by a pixel. Good job.

In a time when all movies suck I found this gem of a channel to fill that void. I can't count the hours my wife and I have binge watched.

I actually preferred the Genesis version, not necessarily because it was a better game, but because the Genesis 6 button controller was probably one of the best arcade fighting game controllers to ever exist. Great video!

You guys are awesome! Funny, creative, entertaining, passionate but also delivering real content. Astonishing how you find all the differences between the ports which are (sometimes) really hard to spot. Some ideas for future SNES vs Genesis videos: - Pirates of Dark Water (both games are actually totally different) - The Strike series (Desert, Jungle, Urban) - Captain America & the Avengers - Soldiers of Fortune - Spider-Man

Actually, there is something involving the gameplay: Genesis version is CLOSER to the arcade because DeeJay's Machine Gun punches works properly on the genesis version while the Super Nintendo version doesn't. So yes, Genesis version indeed have the best gameplay.

A couple more sound effects and menu songs, does not mean the sound is better, sound is much richer and clear on the SNES.

This was my favourite fighting game back in the day. I still don't understand why the SNES Classic and Genesis Mini included Street Fighter 2 Turbo, instead of Super Street Fighter 2 with the extra 4 fighters and stages. Thanks guys for another great video... this video made my day!!

I disagree with the sound verdict. Even though sega had an extra voice over, snes still sounds better overall

Dropped the ball on the sound category. The muffled electronic sound of the Genesis is audio garbage. Half of the soundtrack sounds great but the other half are so grading on my ears. I'll take quality over quantity any day. But still great episode guys

I got to admit, I did not expect Sega to win in the sound category. Considering most songs sound better on SNES. And I do prefer the Genesis version more cause of the 6 button pad.

The sound is way better on SNES, MD might have a couple more voices but they're of much worse quality. Honestly I've ALWAYS hated how muffled and low quality the sound is in SF on MD (SF2 and SSF2) and can't believe anyone would rate it above the much superior SNES. Music is better on SNES also and more accurate to the source, but that at least can be subjective down and personal opinion where as the effects and voices are just plain lower quality on Sega. Nintendo better sound for mine!

Wow! I’m a SEGA fan and didn’t think we would win this one. The detailed analysis really helped. Now I’m gonna go talk smack to my SNES buddies! 😆

Every time I hear anyone mention SF, the SNES gets all the love, glad to see SEGA is getting the respect it deserves!

Hard disagree on the Genesis having better sound (the elephants in the India stage alone earn Sega the L). The SNES port both looks and sounds better, but if I'm going to play 4th Gen SSF2 (which is almost never since I have Street Fighter Collection on the Saturn) I go for the Genesis port nearly every time because it really does have better gameplay, and in ways not mentioned in this video. First, the Genesis 6 button controller is S tier for 2D 6 button fighters. And second, the Genesis's "Blast Processing" makes the control slightly tighter with zero frame drop issues or slowdown, which the SNES has sometimes. There are some great color and sound patches for both Genesis SF2 games that greatly narrow the gap between the Genesis and SNES games. But the SNES got Alpha 2, which, like, damn son

The sad fact is Super Street Fighter II did not do well when brought to the consoles in July of 1994. While it was a fine port, Capcom had already pushed out SSF II Turbo by this time which fixed most of the flaws of the arcade game, and consumers felt four new characters weren't enough to justify shelling out $70 for what was now an obsoleted port.

The extra speed star for sega is only possible due to the blast processing 😜

This was great, guys. Genuinely funny stuff

Who knew Pastrami had a large....sense of confidence.

1:33 is that a USA postage stamp on his arm? That so hilarious and genius! 😂

Sega was so notoriously known for having bad sound in the Sega version the modding community remade the game for Sega fixing the sound.

Amazing video guys! Sorry I was late to the premiere but I loved it! The skits in this one were ON POINT! VIVA CONSOLE WARS!

Fun Fact When the Genesis port of Super Strert Fighter 2 came out on Wii virtual console they included online support for multiplayer

Hands down my favourite episode yet. Sega your writing has come a long way since you started this thing. The barrels falling on you spot was hilarious! And slapping Nintendo's broken arm after celebrating, great stuff. Keep up the great work guys.

How the F did Sega win best sound? The quality on the SNES music is off the roof. The music stopping when the fight is over makes perfect sense. I understand that the missing voice over of "round X and Fight!" is a big deal but the music is soooooooooooooooo much better on the SNES version. The extra gameplay options making the Sega version better I can be ok with that. But best sound should have gone to Super Nintendo.

It never gets old hearing the announcer mispronounce Balrog's name. "BAR-LOG" will always crack a smile on my face!

Venom/Spider: Separation Anxiety I been waiting for this episode I can't wait.

Way back when? The reason I played the Genesis version over the SNES? The 6 button controller with its BEAUTIFUL "top hat" style directional pad and all six buttons available to me on the face of the controller. I just could never get used to the directional pad and button layout on the SNES for fighting games.

Picking SEGA as better overall is a defendable argument, but giving it sound is a pretty big stretch. I wouldn’t call the Genesis music bad per se, but it definitely feels inferior to Special Championship Edition, to say nothing of the SNES soundtrack. Obviously the arcade version is ahead of both of them, but you’d expect that.

IMO more weight has to be give to the SNES vastly superior audio and sound effects. The ‘crunch’ when hitting is a big part of SF2 and it sounds much weaker and muffled in Sega.

Excellent video. I was a Sega boy who was addicted to SSF2 on the Megadrive. I really expected the Snes to be the more feature rich version, but I think Nintendo and Sega kids were both served extremely well with these ports. I sometimes look at how ports of other games were compromised with their home ports and I wonder how the developers managed to squeeze so much into those SSF2 carts.

Reason Capcom added extra modes on the Genesis version is because they retaliated against Nintendo having exclusives rights to the game before being allowed on Sega. One of the reason's Capcom and other gaming companies felt they were losing money on exclusives for 1 system and learned they could make more money making games for multiple consoles.

You guys just earned another subscriber. Hilarious and many of us can definitely relate from that magical 90s era and the jokes! Ah the quarters we spent! 😄 Awesome work!👍💪😎

This was the best episode! i like the fact you mention the details about the intro or endings, also the sketch was one of my favorites! keep up the good work Dan and Pat, i cant wait for the livestream of these games. edit: the next episode is Separation Anxiety i think. edit 2: i see much people hate Sega win on sound, both soundtrack sounds good and Sega have more voices over and a exclusive track so what is the deal? Nintendo cant win everytime on the sound.

Y'all Dressing Up As Street Fighter Characters Was Gold Lmao

The "but for me... It was Tuesday" reference is great. True fan stuff.

Just No!! SNES sounds, voice and music are closer to the arcades as well as having six buttons without having to buy a special controller. I love Sega but they butchered the sound of the game. I remember my cousin had it on Sega and I had it on SNES and you know what he did? He had his mother to go and buy him a SNES for Street fighter. The devs knew it was inferior to the SNES so they gave it those little extras to make up for it. Yes the gameplay is still the same and of course I was able to still whoop my cousin on the Sega version. I'm not saying the Sega version is trash, it's actually like you said identical but SNES is better for Street fighter.

Seeing these guys cosplay has to be the most curse Stuff I ever seen. 10/10 hands down best episode

Next time is one of MINE: The Heartbreak picture over there could also call it "Separation"...And the woman on the right is suffering with "Anxiety"....Next Console Wars: Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety!

Chun Li ain't lying. City Hunter had the most respectful onscreen versions.

An interesting fact about the Japanese version of the SNES port, it has less voices for the announcer but better music. Also some of the american cartridges are actually the Japanese version

The SNES controller and the sound always made it an easy choice of which version of SF I play

one million years waiting for this video

One more plus to the Genesis. version is the 6-button layout is superior to the SNES 4 face buttons and 2 shoulder buttons. This is something that really gives Sega the edge in play.

The Snes has "parallax scrolling". Where there is different layers of backgrounds, scrolling independently. Joe from Gamesack would be rolling over in his grave if he found out you didn't mention that.

Ok this was a great vid! One of the best you guys have done! Love it! Love everything about it

"It was on a Tuesday" LMAO!!!!

I think Zangief could be in the anger management room.

You guys never disappoint! Thanks for the video.

Dan really nailed that M. Bison cosplay. It gives me a Raul Julia kind of vibe. While I think that the SNES version has better sound quality, the Sega Genesis version has a better use of color and it has a few more implementations that I feel makes it slightly better than the Super Nintendo version. More stills for every character's ending, an extra gameplay mode, and more voiceovers. It's *super* close, but I like the Genesis version more.

For some reason I had missed this episode, love how Pat has the Nintendo censored blood when he's beat up after the Bonus Stage! :D

tuesday...It truly was the most important street fighter movie reference you could make. but for me it was monday. Thanks garfield.

Loved this episode guys. I grew up on the Mega Drive version so I was surprised to see that it actually won this time' round. I agree with Dan, that bass guitar is really heavy on the Mega Drive/Genesis version.

I played a lot of both versions back in the day and I didn't remember the SNES version doesn't have the ending cutscenes. They sure did cut a lot of content on the SNES version. The Genesis will always be the one because of an obvious reason that I'm surprised you didn't mention: the controller. Having all 6 action buttons mapped to 6 face buttons + the perfect D-pad makes the 6-button Genesis controller the definitive way to play it, hands down.

it's always 2007 on this channel, and I love it

*Whoever caused Vega to lose his mask will not survive.* Great comparison! Not often do we see more in-depth support for the Mega Drive/Genesis version.

I'm happy to see we still shouldn't ask about Eric it's one of my favorite running jokes :) This was such a great episode!

I played this so much on SNES, that OST was amazing

I'd put it as a tie. You forgot 1 key importance. Controller play. The Snes Controller has 6 buttons for each light, medium, and heavy attack. The sega genesis has 3 buttons.

I imagine this is how Ryu and Ken argue irl. 😂

Sega outright destroyed Nintendo in the Gameplay category 😂😂😂

Hell No Super Nintendo Music tracks are completely superior, even though the Genesis has a few more little sounds here and there it doesn’t matter. SNES sounds million times better. If you’re still confused on which one sounds better fire up the arcade and you’ll find out if the Genesis sounds nothing like it should. The colors are incorrect on the Genesis that is not what the game is supposed to look like!!! And for gameplay the snes has faster response time. (Sorry but you’re completely wrong SNES version is superior)

No ideas what the next episode of gonna be from that clue but you guys should do Flashback (amazing game at the time...for the Sega Genesis) or Aero the Acrobat.

This is probably the one game I'd disagree. The best Super Street Fighter 2 winner is neither on the consoles. They're both fantastic on either one. It's a draw.

I played more of Super Street Fighter 2 on SNES. Played it on Genesis with the six buttons controller. Glad Genesis won

Another thing missing on the review: Heavy Punches and Heavy Kicks have the sound of light punch/kick on the SNES. It remained like this even on 3DS virtual console. Unplayable!

I was not expecting the Genesis version to win for Music! Love it!

The worst thing about the SNES version is the punch and kick sound effects. It sounds like the characters are slapping each other. The Mega Drive/Genesis punch and kick sound effects are much chunkier sounding.

Before I start let me say you guys are classics, I love this show. As much as I enjoy Sega, I do feel Nintendo should have won. The visuals are the same and is really left to how the player wants to see the game, but for the aspect of that one can be played longer without problems should decide the win (for instance Sega only "pops" more because of intense shading to make up for the inability to handle as many rows of color on one plane, as the Nintendo can. Sega also uses "heavier" colors and darker palettes than Nintendo-- this is because of the shading, but the cost of this is that on an old t.v. set, even when playing in a well lit room, can cause some eye trouble. The intensity of the style along with the movement causes the eyes to tire out quickly or for some just plan hurt, but Nintendo used a lot more granite to alluded to shadows-- thus giving them a softer look. Which is a lot easier on the eyes). As for the sound, it is kinda moot 'cause each system does the polar opposite of the other [the Nintendo focus on higher pitches for better melody recognition, while Sega focuses on more bass to because of its soundboard]. For every game you will have this problem unless the game has two different soundtracks. The "extra" song for Sega is within Nintendo; you have to beat the game on Hard to get the extra ending. And this is a side note but although the multi channel sounds better on Nintendo (for Sagat's stage), it is better expressed on Sega. That "annoying whistle" isn't a mistake. It is apart of the Muyi-tai culture (or the Thai peoples'). In Thai matches [and celebrations] there is often a horn, or pipe family instrument that blasts in the background of the song (at-- by our operatic measures-- off-key). That sound is there in Nintendo; it is just really buried, unlike that of Sega because of the lack of musical channels has to play the sound on one of the same channels as the music. This actually gives it a more authentic Thai sound. As when it comes to the game-play, the contest should have ended here. No matter how many more modes are given to Sega, the very fact that I have to buy a turbo controller to play it correctly disqualify it. On the Sega controller, you have only 3 buttons and depending on the version of the game you have to rely on pressure sensitivity to get the additional three other. This easily confuses the system and lead to worn controllers, unlike Nintendo you can play it [out the box] as it is intended. I shouldn't have to buy an appliances to play a game correctly. Sega should not have won that. Anyway love your skits-- super funny. The Chun-Li movie never happened. And the Hadoken isn't fire-- it's force. Ken ignites it to combust into fire with his "Ki". Think of it as akin to hydrogen or something. Love you guys. Keep up the good work.

Dan once again ignores the horrible sound quality of the Genesis, and doesn't even mention the controller.

14:17 While I can understand that the Genesis version has more sounds and may be more complete in that sense, I don't think that being more complete makes it a better game experience. As far as the sound ending at the end of a match for the Super Nintendo version, I actually prefer that over the sound continuing in the Sega Genesis version. It sounds much more dramatic to me to hear the sound fade out when the victory blow has been landed. You also get to hear the sound effects at the end of a match much better with the music not playing in the background, such as with the score being tallied and other little things. When perusing the options or the character profiles, I think that most people would prefer it to be without music playing in the background or without low quality voiceovers playing every time you switch to a different character profile. With a modern game and modern technology, I imagine they could make it sound better in both departments. But with an older game sometimes it's honestly not a big deal to me, nice to have but if it doesn't have it it isn't going to make a major difference for most games. Some games for example it's better to not have music playing in the options menu, because some games allow you to do the sound tests where you can play different music tracks or sound effects from the game. So if a game, particularly an older one, doesn't have options menu music or stuff like that then it's no big deal (for me at least). The pause sound effect for the Sega Genesis is nice, but I think over time extended riffs can get a bit annoying if you have to pause often. I think the pause noise for something like say, Final Fight works because it uses music as the pause sound instead of sound effects like punching. The transition is easier on the ears with music than it is with sound effects. To me, it's quality over quantity in this case. All the important songs are there, and the songs all sound better for the Super Nintendo version. And the voiceovers sounding legible in the Super Nintendo's case I think makes it better since the Super Nintendo's voiceovers cover the important portions that people will be playing the majority of the time, even if you were playing the game back in the day.

You know its a good episode when Dan busts out the body paint. (Recalls otto man) 🤣🤣🤣
