Yeah Sonic does not fit. It was good in 1991 but aged fast and now is not a great game but the sequel still is. However at the time it was a phenom of success out of the gate. Street Fighter was not the case. The genre was young so many did not know what to make of it. Some thought it was ok. Others thought it was broken beyond belief (because it is) and it was a slightly better Karate Champ. Karate Champ as bad as it is, did do a lot for fighting games. SFII comes along and changes the genre and series. I don't see how there is a bigger story than SF.
