Before the Super Turbo Hyper BBQ HD Ultra Mega Remixes there was just plain ol' Street Fighter 2, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this month. Capcom (http://www.capcom-unity.com/jgonzo/blog/2011/03/02/happy_20th_birthday,_street_fighter_ii) posted a birthday reminder for its classic fighter, which was born two decades ago in the arcades (remember those?).

Since 1991, Street Fighter 2 has seen six arcade iterations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_II#Arcade_release_history) and near countless (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Street_Fighter_video_games#Street_Fighter_ II_series) ports across consoles, PCs and handhelds (Tiger even (http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tiger/Tiger-StreetFighter2.jpg)!). Chances are you've played the game a time or two ... and had your pixelated butt unceremoniously handed to you.
