Nobody at Capcom really “balanced” Street Fighter II. Coin prices, arcade owners and the community did it for them. Could slow patches have been a feature, not a bug? Best-balanced arcade game ever?

      Not sure. I think we’ve got a Slop Warning, though. That screen on the left says neither Ken nor Ryu, and many other things are off too, even compared to a staged stock photo. I wonder if the prompt included the text of the article and it’s seizing on this:

      Over time the back-to-back cabinet arrangement became popular, with the two players on opposite sides, unable to see each other.

      Though of course, even if it has then it’s still got the concept completely wrong.
