Nate, Sebastian, and Jordan sit down to discuss STREET FIGHTER
II: THE WORLD WARRIOR, the game that started uncountable arcade
brawls and heralded the arrival of a new genre: the fighting
game. Hear us try to sort through the nine different iterations
of the game, find out who's "the Taylor Swift of Street Fighter,"
and discover which classic combatant Jordan feels comfortable
comparing to Eeyore. Then, after you're done listening, go home
and be a family man!
