I played this game to death on my megadrive (genesis) and now occasionally plate third strike. So amazing to see a bit of street fighter history and funny I'd never noticed Ken's jaundiced eyes and teeth!

The only gaming console I still own is a SEGA Saturn - and a burned copy Street Fighter 2 Alpha practically lives in the disc tray. (I use an Action Replay cartridge solution for booting burned discs called ‘Pseudo Saturn Kai Lite’.)

I am fortunate enough to have a live-in music studio, and it actually lives attached to the secondary monitor in the studio for us to take breaks on and do a few fights to decompress. Pretty much never fails to be a hit.

I feel like that is a myth. Most people I know use monospace fonts for programming.

For programming, correct.

But long form essays - it's super difficult.

Braille Institute is an authority research group in this space and they development their own font that achieves maximum readability.

That font is NOT a monospace font, because the found it too difficult to read in long-form. It's a proportional font.

> Notice how Ryu's teeth white color comes from his clothes. For Ken, artists had to reuse some of the skin color because Ken's kimono is red.

That's interesting that I never noticed the slight differences in color on the teeth given their restrictions.

Also... Ken is wearing a Gi, not a Kimono. Kimono does literally mean "thing to wear", but a Gi is the training clothes pictured in Ken's model.

That font seems to be designed for low vision readers. I'm not sure if you can extrapolate that to people without any sort of vision issues. I mean, I can read the essay just fine, and I don't find it particularly hard to read or anything. If anything, given that I'm already used to reading monospaced fonts all day, I think I can probably read it faster than if it was a font that I'm less familiar with.
