It’s hard to grumble too much about Street Fighter II. Whichever version you’re looking at is pretty much guaranteed to be superior to most of its peers, and probably stands up perfectly well alongside most modern fighting games as well.

Does this version, which introduced a bunch of new characters as the title suggests, really add anything vital to the VC selection? You get Cammy, making her debut, along with Fei Long, T. Hawk and - lord help us - Dee Jay, the only Street Fighter character designed in the US. He’s a funky kickboxer, all showboating and cocky attitude, and he does a sort of fighty breakdance thing. He’s from Jamaica, inevitably.

It also boasts a smattering of new moves, new animations and the first on-screen combo meter in a Street Fighter game. Aficionados usually insist that The New Challengers is the more balanced game, with tweaks to key moves across the board and a handicap system, but also that it feels very slow compared to Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

Out of the three Street Fighter II versions now on the VC, this is certainly the most varied and accessible to newcomers. As a showcase for why people fawn at the feet of Street Fighter, it’s got everything you need. So, if you haven’t downloaded a previous version already, this is the one to choose - which makes you wonder why they didn’t just offer this one first. Oh yeah, money. If you have downloaded a previous version, weigh up whether four new characters and gameplay tweaks is worth another 800 points.
