What if Street Fighter II Bonus Round Was Real?

Check out this video produced by the guys at Mega64. They took the car-busting bonus round from the classic Street Fighter II and reproduced the stage in real-time. They manage to smash a few windows, but can they manage to get perfect? And when did the bonus stage ever allow for three characters?

Ryu is Only the Second Best Street Fighter Character

I know. Some of you are going to write this post off as blasphemy, because there’s no way that Ryu plays second fiddle to anyone.
