To those who think the Megadrive's sound chip is dodgy...

[randombs]

Don't get me wrong, I think the MD SF2 music pisses all over the jazzed-up mish-mash that is the SNES soundtrack.

But you're right, and I guess I missed the point here - the TmEE one is a remix whereas the music in SF2SCE is supposed to sound as close to the arcade version as possible. I was just thinking about the actual sounds and quality of the remix in a more general sense, as opposed to what sounds more genuine.

Also I always preferred the MD voices as, although they're bad quality, they're the proper voices. SNES one chopped the voices up into little bits and did scary things with the voice pitch in SF2 (different pitch depending on strength of fireball, say).

As for the one channel for samples, did they do multiple simultaneous samples in SF2CE? I think even in the arcade you'd only get one voice at a time. I know if you both did a fireball at the same time the voices sort of played over one-another, though, but they were the same sample to begin with.

The SNES Street fighter music and sound effects are far better than the MD versions.

Aye and they sound very different form the Arcade version , with music imo all the worst far it . Seeing as both the Arcade and the MD used FM sound the MD version was very close in terms of Sound to that of the Arcade, For the speech, I'll not even argue the point , as the MD version sounded the worst of the lot .
But for Music I think the MD version is way better than the crappy remixed tunes found in the Snes, and imo the MD version looked better and controlled way better than the Snes version , thanks that awesome 6 button pad

I would bet that I have probably played and completed the Acrade SFII more than anyone else on here and it is my favourte arcade game of all time. However, I do still love the music on the SNES super SFII the most, Just because it is different/remixed from the Arcade does not mean it is worse!!!

There is no way that in the world the Megadrive versions were better in any way than the SNES Versions, The SNES SFII TURBO and SUPER SFII look, Sound and play better. Go and play the SNES games with the Capcom Arcade Stick and forget the crappy pads

Oh no... lets not go down the route of I've played this , or that game , more than anyone else , so I'm more able to comment .
I think I speak for many, that I've spend tons on the Street Fighter games , inthe Arcade , for my Snes ,for my Mega Drive , for my Saturn , and even the Dreamcast .
We all have

Fr me some of my fav music in Sf II was Blanka stage , and the tempo and style of the music was all wrong inthe Snes version , much better in the MD version , I thought Ken and E-Honda stage music was brilliant in both the MD and Arcade versions , but again the tempo speed is all messed up in the Snes version .

But then will us Mega Drive fans get anyway with Snes crew ? , these after like to slate Final Fight on the Mega CD for its Music not staying true to the Arcade version , and 1 more reason to go with the Snes version (because the music and colour was closer to the Arcade) , but when it comes to SF II music on the Snes , it's a different story , me wonders why ...

Oh and BTW, SEGA's 6 Button Arcade stick was the business , if I wanted to play games with no pads , for the true Arcade experience, after all , SEGA forgotten more than what NCL , will ever know about Arcades
But I still rather play SF II with the 6 button pad

I will say one thing, as much as I hate the snes SF2/SF2T (I didn't play SSF2 on either MD or snes so can't say) music, I have fonder memories attached to it than the MD music. Most likely because SF2 was on the snes first, so by the time it appeared on MD it wasn't as big a deal as it was on the snes.

I think everyone remembers where they were the first time they saw snes SF2

It's funny because the music on Blanka's stage is also my favourate! And on the SNES SUPER SFII It's excellent

The Stick on Sega's Megadive arcade stick is rubbish mate! Just like the Nintendo Advantage it has a poor stick so don't even go there
You need a good stick like the Capcom SNES one or I'd stick with the pads.

Sort of like the gaming equivalent of JFK's assassination...

I think everyone likes the Blanka stage music and no I never really liked the Capcom Arcade stick , it was just a little bit too big
The 1st Sega's Megadive arcade stick was the best around , with Mercedes benz like build quality.
But I've always found , nothing comes close to SEGA 6 button MD pad , not even the Saturn pads for easy of use and pulling off the special moves . It's d-pad is just the best ever

The Japanese Arcade Power Stick is one of the best around - it's microswitched, unlike the PAL version.

I still have mine and I swear by it; it's just a shame it's a 3 button layout and therefore not suitable for SF2!

Oh it the best around , I think its the best quality Arcade stick for any home console ever . I never knew the Pal wasn't microswtiched , to think I picked up mine in a market for next to nothing .

Naah, it's got to be the Dreamcast stick, surely?

[Yakumo]

Nope, the Saturn arcade stick or even better, the Saturn Astro City Twin set up is the best home console stick EVER!! It's basically the Astro City Arcade cab front panel! Craps all over the official DC stick.

I think you guys may be interested in this week's contest over at my site, www.segagagadomain.com Every update I give away 1 Saturn game to the 1st lucky person who can identify a music track taken from a game. Well this week I have 3 games to give away and 3 Mega Drive tunes for you to try and guess. The tunes in the selection are some of the best on a Mega Drive. SFC fans take a listen, I'm sure you'll be very impressed, especially with track 3.
