The Story of Street Fighter II

The story from these games has more or less carried through all the way to the modern day, even with an in-universe kind of reboot. I think that's real interesting and forward thinking that they did that basically. The most lore you were going to get out of a Street Fighter II Attract screen was like learning Ryu's blood type but it wasn't really captivating. In Mortal Kombat 2, right away from the Attract mode, you realize who hangs the champion, but what else could have happened? And it's established the endings as these are not what happened. But there are all these new little wrinkles in the lore, and it was just so, so fascinating.
