Street Fighter worth this much...LMAO

SF2 is not worth that much. NO

Since it's so common and all of the artwork is available it's just worth based on cab type, condition and monitor size.

A standard HS1 is worth a few hundred depending on artwork, completeness etc...
$2-500 I would say. A perfectly restored one is about $500 IMHO.

those pneumantic buttons were so inaccurate and lame.

The Taito is a Double Dragon Cab.
 
Please, continue that sentence. No, I'm curious as to where you were going. I wouldn't pay 4 cents for SF1. What a turd of a game.

I have to disagree. I love Street Fighter 1, and haven't really liked any of the sequels. The graphics in SF1 are better IMHO, and it didn't have so many tricks that you can't play it without getting frustrated.

But, I know I'm in the extreme minority on that!

And by extreme minority, you mean you're the only one. That game was so horrible. This is coming from a man who loves fighting games above all else, and can tell you more than I wish I knew. I'm embarrassed by my fighting game knowledge. lol

lolwut?

SF1 and SF2 had the exact same moves for Ken/Ryu. They aren't that confusing.

The first time I played SFI with the pneumatic buttons I almost crapped myself. That was truly revolutionary for its time. The cabinet wouldn't be for playing but for collectors sake.

That and the cabinet looked amazing.

As far as the gameplay SFII was much much better. I mean hell in SFI 3 fireballs ended it, you could end a fight with one flying uppercut, or even one tornado kick if all three hits landed.

But SFI was the first 1vs1 fighting game I played and the pneumatic buttons amazed me as a kid.

As far as the grphics go...I don't think they are all that far off. The backgrounds are largely the same. And the fighters aren't too terribly different in my opinion.

we actually possess one of those cabs. it was converted by another arcade that closed up into an Extreme Hunting. when I was redoing the spaghetti factory of a mess of wiring in it, I discovered the original 6 button metal plates for the controls screwed up to a wall inside it.

as for that cab? I think it's ugly as sin, how typical of every single game Atari ever made. (it was an Atari cab before people start clamoring what a fucking idiot I am for drawing that comparison).

and SF1 vs. SF2? that's just absurd. you can keep your SF1 with its 400 ms latency controls. in fact, if I wanted that much lag in my gameplay, I'd travel back to 1997 and play standard Quake on dial-up again -- at least I could effectively kick someone's ass with some semblance of a strategy.

I'll give Capcom their due though... it was at least significantly better than that other horse's ass, Karate Champ.

I like that SF1 cab, actually, in a historic, memorabilia sense. Had I the room, I'd love to get one and dedicate it to swapping in JAMMA fighters. I played SF1 BITD at that arcade at the Disneyland hotel, the one under the water, I think. I remember going once and trying to figure out the pnuematic buttons, and then going a little later and seeing the six button setup, and thinking, "huh?"

At the time I didn't get it. I'd just button mash and a fire ball would come out. But that was all I figured out. Today I'm on SSFIV almost everyday.

There's still a converted one in an arcade around here. I think it's playing one of the CPS2 fighters.
 
Street Fighter I it's impossible to do the moves fluidly, and they take off 1/2 life. How anyone can honestly think that game is better than SFII is just WTF...

Impossible to do fluidly on SF1?

Not for those who like it and play it. :)

Funny...I think liking SF2 over SF1 is WTF.

Kick ass SF1 flyer!!!

Do you know which arcade the converted cab is in? Scandia perhaps?

I've got an original regular stand up SF1 cab. But the side art is almost gone.

Anyone ever happen to come across some NOS side art for SF1 by chance?
