I've owned the game since it first came out. It's crappy, but at least you feel like you have some control over your character.
I cannot say the same about the original Street Fighter. I've never played a game that controlled so absolutely terribly. I don't know how the hell I ever made it to Adon (and maybe Sagat?). It took me hours, though, because doing anything in the game besides hitting Start is a complete pain. Doing a special move is complete luck. Hell, the game doing what you want it to at all is luck.
Even the Action 52 stuff controls better than Street Fighter.
I've played just about every fighting game out there, and I'd say that Street Fighter 1 is probably the worst one.
The real fighting is you versus the controls.
Street Fighter does have those amazing voice clips, though. Hah.
Mortal Kombat Advance comes really close in on worst fighting game, though, but I haven't played it for more than a few minutes, if even that.
