Super Street Fighter II (Sega Genesis vs SNES) Gameplay Comparison

A side-by-side comparison of the game Super Street Fighter 2 between Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) and SNES (Super Famicom), both games at their maximum speeds (4 stars on MD and 3 stars on SFC).

SNES’ Sony supplied sound chip was incredible!

[@bluenomad73]

In this game, Capcom didn't do a good job on either SNES or Genesis. The SNES sound chip is slightly better, it's also a console two years younger, but both consoles can provide much better sound - see Castlevania or Turrican on both systems.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

I think by the time this version of SF2 came out, most people had moved on to other fighting games. I say this because while he OG version of SF2 for the SNES sold over six million copies, SSF2 sold less than half of that. There was a lot more competition to around by then.

[@bizarroeddie1]

it was also the 3rd version of the same game released in a little more than 2 years. Yes, there's more characters and content, but those who had already acquired the previous versions had no reason to buy this for a 3rd time. Killer Instinct was released the next year and sold better

[@AbbasKhan9364]

Back when they sold glorified DLCs as standalone games lol. Folks didn't wanna spend 3 times on the same thing.

[@MegaErrorist]

There was talk they weren't even going to release it in Europe, and when it did come out it was in seriously limited numbers. It almost never shows up second hand, at least on the SNES, and I could build a throne out of the original SF2 carts I encounter on my travels.

[@yochithmaster333]

Many people can still debate which version is better, but in my opinion, Genesis version is better because it is not censored and has more data like sounds and graphics (look at the intro and the endings), unlike SNES version.

[@8cee]

how the soundchip of the snes was build, was one of the best though, it was pretty much sample based, most of the games had 16bit sounds but was downgraded to 12bit to save space. also many said it was a pain in the ass to create music, Tim Follin a mastermind of its own, stated it was like hell and he did the soundtrack for the game Plok, even Miyamoto was shocked how good it sounded so the game never really got promotion and it failed at that time. check Plok and you can see Rayman lol

[@davidaitken8503]

The contortions you put your mind through to justify your position is hilarious. You will emphasize a few changed pixels or an extra frame of animation on an opening yet ignore all of the missing colors and color choices that look really off due to the technical limitations of the Genesis. Stop being ridiculous. Both versions play fine but the SNES version is clearly the winner in both graphics and audio.

[@RAMCARTGAMER]

SNES is missing quite a lot of animation across the board, Cammy looks broken while standing on SNES, Ryu intro is very stiff on SNES, plus so many sound effects are missing, not to mention the actual music is closer on MD. The SNES has a squeakyness to the overall sound quality. On MD you have a great 6 Button controller to use. Also, true street fighter vets know the SNES dose not have ALL the possible combos like the arcade.

[@yochithmaster333]

@@davidaitken8503 Well, yes, SNES beats Genesis by having more colors, but due to how SNES cartridge is smaller than those of Genesis (32 megabits on SNES vs 40 megabits on Genesis), some features were cut from SNES version. Announcer does not say "Round" and "Fight" (and, in some SNES versions, character names), and aside from intro animation being altered, some endings were altered as well, some with graphics reused from same or other endings (Balrog/Boxer's ending from SNES version, for example, uses podium from Ryu's ending), some use the "black bars and a fighter on Bison/Dictator's stage" (like Chun-Li's first part of her ending).

[@thatJustinUknow]

Very cool seeing these side-by-side for the first time! For me: - I think the characters look better, and stand out more on Sega. - Backgrounds are mostly better looking on the SNES, esp Balrog's stage. - The sound is a toss-up, what you might be feeling that day. Both systems have their musical merits across soundtracks and systems. Both have a lot of nostalgia for me and I'm glad devs still pull inspiration from this in modern games. - Aside from obvious omissions/dev and producer choices I feel w/ the limited color palette but faster CPU on the Sega and far greater color palette and sound chip on the SNES you have a "limitations foster creativity situation" where each strikes an arguable equal balance to their respective strengths.

[@seanabsher5577]

it appears that the console operates faster on Sega's side. Like the loading and framerate and activity seem to all be a little fastr on Sega than Nintendo. I'm not saying it's a LOT faster, but at least 3% faster? am I right or wrong?

[@StRoRo]

There a few background differences I noticed for the first time. Guile's stage the plane and the distant background are seporate. You can see when the screen scrolls up they scroll different speeds. The Sega port is one background. I also noticed on Sagat's stage, on the Nintendo, Buddha statue shadow is part of the line scrolling foreground, so it's perspective changes, Sega it's stagnant.

[@albertmas3752]

If you look at it in Guile's stage both versions have 2 background planes. The scrolling difference in SNES is more exagerated and in Genesis it's more subtle but it's there.

[@thegreathadoken6808]

An SF2 mod for the Genesis version came out recently, I'm sure everyone will know exactly what I'm talking about but the name escapes me at this precise moment. Anyway, I do believe that it might just provide the best way to play SF2 on a 16-Bit console. Of course it wasn't the version that was available to gamers back in the early 90s. I was a SNES kid back then, I NEVER would have admitted this in a million years at the time, but the Megadrive version has it's advantages for sure.

[@Des_Zee]

Back then my friends and I from school who played the street fighter 2 arcade cabinet after school and had mini tournaments, we all agreed that the Genesis version was as close to the arcade in terms of how quick you can perform all the special moves. We also agreed the SNES version was prettier but that's about it.

[@madspunky]

What do you mean by "how quick you can perform all the special moves"? Is there input lag on the SNES or something?

[@SeveredLegs]

@@madspunky SNES games as a rule tend to feel more sluggish than their Genesis counterparts. This game is noticeably punchier on Genesis.

[@madspunky]

@@SeveredLegs Perhaps because the sound chip wasn't as loud?

[@SeveredLegs]

@@madspunky the sound chip isn't the problem because other Sega Genesis games are plenty loud. This one definitely was always very quiet on any TV that I've ever used. It's below average sound for sure, but my claim is that the overall experience with the gameplay is so much better than any other option, that you can just deal with it. Obviously if they were able to get the sound to a higher level and fix the voice samples like some of the patches have done since then, it would be an A+++ game. But the other games that are comparable to this one have bigger problems, so it still makes it the best. If I'm being super nitpicky I'd even still rather play this one than the arcade version of the game, if only because in versus mode you can pick different characters each time.

Is there a way to check to see if the SNES version had more than 4 frames of input lag (the amount the arcade had)? @@SeveredLegs

I had both versions growing up. Both were excellent ports, but for me, the SNES one is the better of the two by the narrowest of margins thanks to its cleaner sound, better enemy AI and more detailed backgrounds.

SNES version holds supreme exactly as the arcade versions..SNES only didn’t have the intro as the arcade with sf2 & sf2 turbo.

[@OldSchoolRetroGamingFan]

I notice you have an image of a modern-day 8BitDo third party 6-button wireless controller below the Genesis version, so why can't you at least have something like the C&L Championship Joystick as the third party controller image below the SNES version? I understand the default SNES controller is so good that it can stand on its own against basically any Genesis controller both first and third party and old and new, but, if you're going to allow random third party controllers that would enhance the experience even further, there's simply nothing better for playing Street Fighter II on either of these systems than the C&L Championship Joystick for SNES. It might help to have the same controller conditions for each system, which is either the default controller (that would be the Genesis 3-button pad and the SNES standard pad) or allow both versions to use the best controller available for them equally.

[@lioneatsthesheep8996]

I appreciate the boost in the sega but have to love the old school feel of snes

[@dunnono00]

When Special Champion Edition for the Genesis and Turbo for the SNES went head to head, it was a lot closer. They still had tradeoffs, but it was much more of a competitive comparison. Super, on the other hand? That was when I saw the SNES pulling ahead. Look at the sky, for example, in Guile's stage at 10:20. See how the blending of the blue color is so much smoother in the Super Nintendo? You can clearly see the banding on the Genesis version as it hits that 64 color limitation. Also at 5:58 on Cammy's stage, look at the color blending and movement of the northern lights. It's so much smoother and more subtle on the SNES, while it looks like neon street signs on the Genesis. And obviously, the audio presentation was clearly in the SNES' favor now. Of course, at the end of the day, almost no one cared if the Super Nintendo had more color or that the Genesis had a few more frames in the Ryu intro animation. Someone might remark on how lousy the voices were on the Genesis, but then they'd forget all about it as soon as Start was hit. It was still Street Fighter II and you'd have a blast playing it on either system.

[@Aki_Lesbrinco]

Both versions were amaizing, but I give a slight edge in the graphics department to the SNES because of the smother color transitions and slightly bigger character sprites. In terms of gamplay, I always felt that both were equally responsive but playing this with the Genesis 6 button pad is pure perfection. Sound is better on the SNES. You can't go wrong with either version, but at the end of the day I always preferred the Genesis version because of that 6 button controller layout. Having the all six buttons on the face of the pad was perfect for SF and the Dpad was also better than the SNES controller.

They did a good job with the limited 64 colors on the genesis. Id thought the snes should have done better with its 256 but maybe it was a quick release and didnt bother making it better, they used dithering on snes where i feel the snes could of done a smooth gradient etc

[@gamesandplanes3984]

Not all graphics modes supported 256 colors. Tons of snes games never have anything close to 256 on screen at the same time.

[@ArneChristianRosenfeldt]

@@gamesandplanes3984 I guess that those consoles have a global palette like VGA on PC. So there is a hard limit. Already on Amiga you could have 64 colors on the background and then 15 colors for each of the four sprites. So 128 colors on screen. And then comes copper. Now with 32 sprites on the SNES and this DMA thingy for the background similar to copper.

Gotta go with the Genesis on this one. Somee animation missing but gameplay was good, music was good and the colors actually look brighter than on the SNES.

Mega drive (genesis) version which i still own is sharper, ,more vibrant and colourful. The snes has the voice clarity samples however But really there wasn't much in it back then or now!! A great conversion of possibly the most iconic and influential fighting games ever Its certainly my favourite of ALL TIME

[@alexanderseton]

It seems that both game ports are very close to each other. The final choice is a matter of taste. SNES: much better sound quality, with voice and sound effects similar to the original game. It also has a much better color depth, allowing subtle image effects in the background that the MD/Genesis port doesn’t show. Animation frames are missing and the game feels laggy at some instances. MD/Genesis: much more fluid animation and overall game speed. The color depth is not as good as in SNES, but this aspect is compensated by a higher contrast/ definition of the color palette. The sound is awful, with complete voice captures and sound effects missing. In both ports the backgrounds/scenery seem well implemented, player frames are about the same sizes and despite the larger screen resolution of MD/Genesis compared to SNES, both ports seem pretty similar. I would try anyone, but the bad part is that the Sega port only plays well IF you have a 6-button controller. This is a non-standard feature compared to the normal SNES controller that allowed plug-and-play without add ons. This difference could be a game changer for some people

[@theFaded01]

Ryu always looked meaner in the intro on the Genesis. Music wise I go with the SNES but the overall control and gameplay I go with the Genesis version hands down.

[@santitabnavascues8673]

I've already tried both versions myself, and I've always found MD to be superior, content wise, the additional 8 mb pay. It lacks a couple of effects that are inexplicably absent, like cammy stage wavy sky or ryu stage scrolling moon, but other than that, megadrive is better, despite Capcom's flagrant preference for Nintendo 😅

[@davidaitken8503]

How is it better? You provide absolutely zero reasons why it is better. It sure as hell doesn't look or sound as nice and I've played both versions and have concluded they play the same.

[@Katz2009]

A wavy sky on Mega Drive would imply wavy mountains, because the sky and the mountains are on the same background layer. And in Ryu's stage, I prefer still clouds than a scrolling moon.

[@santitabnavascues8673]

​@Katz2009 in megadrive you can use line interrupts to change the position of the clouds and have a wave effect while the mountains remain intact, all in a single plane in Cammy's bg, as for the scrolling moon, it can be done, perhaps with sprites, anyway, it was a bit of nit picking 😅 As for the reasoning behind my choice, I've already given plenty: 8 million bits more content. If I haven't added anything else is because the rest is essentially the same. But the additional graphics and sounds make a more complete experience in megadrive, from my point of view.

[@davidaitken8503]

@@santitabnavascues8673 You're assuming 100% of that extra storage was used which is an incredibly ignorant view to have. You also pretend that you're comparing apples to apples when you are comparing apples to oranges. A miniscule number of extra frames might make a difference if you ignored the fact that the 99% of the frames shared between the two games look inferior on the Genesis. Less colors and worse color choices available on the hardware is too much of a downside that an isolated extra frame on Cammy's standing animation can't really compensate for.

The Megadrive's processor allows four turbo levels, compared with three on the SNES.

While I enjoyed both versions of this, I preferred the Megadrive version.

Como sempre, a superioridade do SNES nas cores e no áudio é evidente. É preciso destacar que a versão do Mega tem 40Mbit e a do SNES tem 32Mbit.

[@fabiojuniooliveira6862]

[@chrisw8069]

I always preferred Street Fighter on Genesis versus snes. Especially wants you realize certain things aren't like the arcade on the snes. Genesis version has less colors, but more responsive controls. That six button Genesis controller was also a gift from god.

[@javim3389]

Is difficult to see the diferences. SNES usually has better colours, but in this version are very similar

[@Geryboy666]

I don't get why the colors are off, the backround left there is lighter grass in the genesis, where there seems to be dry grass in the snes. why change that?

[@Aki_Lesbrinco]

Probably due to the available color palette of the Genesis. The sega console only had a 512 color palette and out of that it could only display 64 at a time. I believe the SNES had a palette of 32,000 colors and could display 256 at the same time.

[@jak_1894]

SNES was hampered by censorship, 🤔😂

[@jsr734]

@elultimobastion6569 Depende del juego y de la escena. El primer Donkey Kong Country casi llega a los 256 colores en la primera escena del juego. Otros juegos como Killer Instinct sobrepasan los 400 colores en pantalla en la escena de Raptor, Bahamut Lagoon también suele pasar de los 400 colores en pantalla en algunas escenas,

[@juanandresbracco2769]

In the 90s i play both because i have the two consololes. Snes was far superior in visuals and sound, but genesis was smother. Now in 2024 i think the two were good but SNES wins in some areas and genesis in others. its A TIE. If you can only chosee one goes for the snes version.

[@tomongchangco4345]

I remember playing both version back in the day I find the genesis version better because of the controller layout, it is much easier to pull off combos and special moves making the game more fast-paced than the SNES.

[@黃義信-y9j]

Genesis隨然顏色和音效比SFC差一點，但是Genesis玩起來比SFC還要流暢，不像SFC玩到會卡卡的會變成慢動作（就像SFC 的Final Fight一樣）， 所以，我推薦Genesis的 Street Fights和 Super Street Fights~

[@AdriaticTokoru]

It would've made sense if it's a SNES exclusive since it had "Super" in the title

[@Aki_Lesbrinco]

What? You're joking right? That makes as much as saying that Superman games should've been exclusive to the SNES because there's Super in Superman.

Em ambos vídeos games dava pra fazer melhor, mas os softwares de criação de jogos da época eram muito limitados, não aproveitavam o máximo do vídeo game e a memória do cartucho era considerado muito cara na época.

[@alexandrerodel706]

Estou vendo muitos comentários que fogem muito da realidade. Quem tem mais de 40 hoje e jogou no fliperama, nos emuladores em consoles sabe que, comparando essas duas versões, a do SNES é a mais próxima do original em jogabilidade, gráficos e som. O vídeo comparativo é bem bacana, reafirma algo que eu já sabia, que a versão da SEGA era bem inferior. Ficam meus parabéns para quem editou e publicou o vídeo!

SF2 CE on the mega drive had great music. I don't know what the Super SF2's music team was doing because the music was way worse.

[@Ivelostmymind23]

No commenters seem to have spotted that the Genesis clearly had a significantly faster frame rate. Makes sense really as street fighter 2 special champion addition goes up to 10 stars turbo where snes was only 4 or so stars. Genesis always had superior game play performance to snes. Snes had better colours and sound. But Genesis faster due to the superior cpu.

[@JohnCharb87]

1. SNES seems more challenging. The AI blocks and counters every Psycho Crusher attack. The Mega Drive version looks more of a push over. 2. I prefer the Genesis 6 button controller. The D-Pad is better suited for directional inputs. Not to mention I like button layout. There is something about using the left trigger for attacks that seem off putting. 3. Not use to seeing M. Bison as Vega.

[@final_boss1715]

sega had like 3 different consoles that generation. if you just go with the original ones snes would win all the time. the original sega controller only had like 3 buttons. gtfo😂😂snes had the better games plenty of them. the snes never upgraded there was no snes 2 its still was better.

The SFC ver voice seems to play faster than the arcade original. and HP bar design in the Mega Drive version is the same as the arcade original.

[@wordsshackles441]

I didn't think I would say that for this particular game, but I'll take the higher resolution image of the MD over the higher color depth of the SNES. It just looks crispier on the MD.

[@davidaitken8503]

They should occasionally switch to a full screen of just one of these at a time so you can more easily see just how bad the lack of color looks on the Genesis. More problematic however is that some colors just seem off from what they should be because those color options don't exist on the Genesis. Obviously this can be a problem on certain stages and characters more than others.

[@wordsshackles441]

The dithering on the MD is clearly visible in this video. Scaling up the image and going full screen, would decidedly hurt the SNES version more because of its low resolution. The MD is overall better looking, though the SNES does look better in a few stages. @@davidaitken8503

[@kamranki]

I dont get the whole higher resolution thing really. Both versions use exact same sprites. Connect both consoles to an old CRT and see side by side. SNES's extra colors does make it look more attractive.

[@wordsshackles441]

The resolution gap is stark. The sprites are lower resolution, and visibly so. It's true of every single SNES VS MD games. Not only that, SNES games are stretched horizontally. @@kamranki​

[@davidaitken8503]

@@wordsshackles441 "Stark"? Give me a break. Most people never noticed or cared that there was a few extra lines on the sides of the screen on the Genesis. The only way we even knew something was different was when a game that was originally made for the Genesis was lazily ported to the SNES, the characters looked a little bit wider. That was literally it. The resolution looked basically the same because it is basically the same. The image quality on the Genesis looked worse for many players for the simple fact that it was the SNES, not the Genesis, that was the first console that shipped with AV composite cables giving it a much better image. You are either a lying TROLLBOT or just incredibly ignorant.

Ambas versões são boas porém do MEGADRIVE jogabilidade é a melhor que do snes , vozes adicionais na narrativa dos lutadores , já o resto SNES ganha e tbm pelo fator nostalgia e a mais marcante ❤️

Isso de jogabilidade melhor é mito. Ambos são ótimos em jogabilidade, nunca tive dificuldades de fazer combos ou golpes especiais no Snes e nem no Mega. Puro mito, sem mais.

[@jodafro619]

both were okay in my book for their own reasons. genesis better controls. uncensored details via the lose screens , blood and endings. washed out colors , but a slightly better resolution. garbled but ACCURATE voices along with a complete announcer. sega loses on the music department sce did a WAY better job with the music. snes has bright colors and more detail on the stages. the sound is clear, BUT like the last two games, the voices are muffled and short and nothing like the ones from the arcade. plus some of the songs are hit and miss with that snes capcom twanging nonsense (ex dee jay stage, yuck). the gameplay is solid , but genesis edges it out for having more arcade accurate combos. plus the six button pad for genesis curb stomps the snes pad in regards to accuracy of the button layout and overall comfort. that is my feelings on both games and i like em both the purpose it has. to bring sf home to us

[@24framedavinci39]

The 6 face button controller is why I picked Sega over SNES. I've always been a fighting game head. Even had some of the Cali legends, like Valle, try to get me to go to tourneys. The Genesis was far superior for fighters. Sega stuck by that through to the DC.

[@NicolasMuñoz-p8g]

The snes version is better just because of the sound. It was not because of technical limitations because championship edition had better music. It eas also not space because the cartridge was 8 megabiter bigger. I dont care about the missing voice of the announcer, or the missing photos on the endings, if that gives me enjoyable music. Capcom was just lazy to do a decent job.

Diferencias que encontre ...la musica al pasar a otro round en el de genesis no se detiene y en el se snes si (imagino que es de hardware ) pero en snes la musica se oye mucho mejor . En el escenario de ryu, las nubes de fondo no tiene movimiento y en snes si las tiene . En el escenario de Balrog ( Vega ) las bailarinas del centro tienen movimientos de derecha a izquierda en snes ...en genesis no las tiene ...bueno y lo mas logico los colores y sprites se ven mejor en snes ,aun asi buenas versiones ambas con sus pro y contras.

I guess it’s pretty hard to pull off a Fierce Punch for SNES’s gamepad since the Left Shoulder button is at awkward position. Sega Genesis’s gamepad wins any day for PRACTICALITY and easy to pull off Fierce punches. This is quite important for SSF2T where you have Super move executions.

[@JonBR-622]

The Sega Genesis 6-button controller had to be purchased separately for those who already had the console before Street Fighter II. Snes also sold 6-button controllers with an Arcade layout separately. The Snes' default controller is superior to the Sega Genesis' default controller.

The sound is much better on the SNES. That Sony chip made a huge difference. The Genesis’ audio was muddy in comparison, and even if the Genesis loaded faster, I can’t stomach the way it sounds like someone pouring water into my eardrums.

I actually notice, if you know about the Amiga computer, it has 3 different versions of Street Fighter 2. Street Fighter 2 - Terrible port, don't play it! Super Street Fighter 2 - a lot more playable but at the cost of graphics. Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo - the graphics look better & has CD Quality music, but once again the animations & controls are terrible. Available on the Amiga CD32

[@boarMcberry]

on the contrary, PC DOS version of SSF2T is actually very playable. it's downside however is chara sprite kinda a bit too big compared to it's playfield. Think both sf2 & ssf2 on par quality with amiga, albeit DOS did get bootleg versions of sf2 which actually much more playable but kinda janky, think of it as mugen version since one of those builds even has fatal fury's terry & andy bogard, & ingame music using MOD format.

[@JonBR-622]

Both could have received it. The big problem was memory. If with 32 megabits of the Snes version and 40 megabits of the Sega Genesis version, Capcom needed to make cuts, imagine in Super Street Fighter II turbo the amount of cuts it would have because of memory.
