YMMV / Super Fighter

  • Crosses the Line Twice: The character Red Man is the embodiment of the worst, most racist caricatures of Native Americans/First Nations/whatever term you want use to collectively call the indigenous people of the Americas that were used by Europeans and people of European descent to vilify them. Yet his desire for bloodshed and chaos is so over the top that it makes him cartoonish enough to laugh at instead.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Some of the cast have some similarities to characters that would be introduced in later iterations and sequels of Street Fighter games.
    • Red Man is someone who has delusions of being a divine being (even claiming to be the reincarnation of Satan) and killed his former master in the past once he believed himself to have surpassed him. The next year (1994), Super Street Fighter II: Turbo would introduce the fighter Gouki who believes himself "superior to all men" because of his mastery of the Satsui no Hadou (and also murdered his master, Goutetsu, as a demonstration of his power), goes by the alias "Akuma" (translating from Japanese into English as "Demon"), and due to being Hades Shaded is a literal red man.
    • Bullet is a blonde athlete (a boxer more specifically) from Brooklyn. Several years later, Street Fighter III would introduce another blonde athlete (though a wrestler in this case) who has some Brooklyn Rage in the person of Alex. In addition Onimaru has some degree of similarity with Necro in that they are people who have been modified by technological/bio-genetic engineering means (though involuntarily in the latter's case) and can stretch their limbs further than any normal person could.
    • Let's see: An obnoxious obese fighter who has a braided ponytail and is associated with the color yellow in some way, are we talking about this game's Joker note  or Rufus from Street Fighter IV?
  • Polished Port: Super Fighter Team's 2013 re-release for Microsoft Windows has been said to be this in comparison to the original version, with changes including smoother framerate, new attacks for some characters, and balance adjustments.
  • Serial Numbers Filed Off: Surprisingly for all the complaints and legal battles that Capcom waged against Data East for the latter's creation of Fighter's History, this game was an even more blatant lifting of Capcom's intellectual property (even tracing some character animations and directly copying the sound effects of the Street Fighter games). Though the obvious bootleg nature of this game was likely the reason Capcom didn't see it as being serious enough to warrant attention.
  • So Bad, It's Good: Looking for a poorly made fighting game to do some MST style riffing on? Here you go. Granted, the 2013 re-release is said to be an improvement (with better framerate and controls), but the wholesale copyright infringement of Street Fighter characters remain.
