- DO NOT buy a Super Nintendo! Do not even practice on one! While it is an excellent system in general, and the Classic SF2
- adaption is very faithful, it will not help your CE game in any
- way... unless you toss in the extra $$$ for the damn joysticks too.
- My brother has a SuperN back home w/SF2 (w/out the joysticks) and
- it is killing his game. Every day at the arcade, I will hear some
- disgruntled loser mumbling "I'd kick his ass at Super Nintendo".
- Be this as it may, he is dogmeat for me at the arcade. The SN
- will kill your timing and timing is SF2,CE. Save your money.
