First of all, I don't know why SF2 would be put into the categorey of a 1,2 Switch or Skylanders to begin with, SF2 is one of the greatest, most influential games ever made full stop, those other two games don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath. 

Secondly, it's more like sometimes you just want a Big Mac + fries and a Coke. I don't need Yelp! to tell me the corner McDonalds doesn't have a wine menu and has poor service .... I don't give a shit. I want what I want and I've had it before. Just shut up and gimme my burger. 

SF2 is the gaming equivalent of comfort food, no uppity hipster reviewer is gonna change that. 

You don't get it. It's not a comparison between those games and Street Fighter II. It's the opposite: I'm saying there is a place for every kind of game/genre and people should judge less based on their preferences. 

I'm just saying reviewing this game like a regular game is pretty much pointless. It's like trying to review a McDonalds to a person who wants a Big Mac and saying "well yeah but, there's no apetizers here, and the service is below par, and the decor is awful, are you sure you wouldn't rather try out this Thai place down the street" ... like who cares, lol. 

SF2 is still fundamentally a good game. I'm not really sure 1,2 Switch or Skylanders are though, those deserve criticism at points, the core gameplay for neither is very well done. SF2 is still a blast to play and very competetive to play amongst friends, the knock on it really is "yeah, but it's $10 too expensive" as if $10 buys you anything great these days.
