If ever you grew up in 90s, you might have probably heard of Street fighter II (SF2) or even had time to plug away at it in your local arcade. SF2 was especially designed as a fighting simulation and featured characters with amazing abilities and caliber. Although playing against the computer was considered and even now taken in as a challenge in and of itself, the game shined whenever it came down to two players matching wits against each other. One point here to note is that fighting games truly brought about the sense of competition and prestige to those who had what it took.

Today is a new age of gaming graphic design.
