Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior Slot Information

Street Fighter is one of the most iconic games ever, being played by millions of people over the earth on Atari, Super Nintendo, and Sega Megadrive, to name a few. The first release started as an arcade game, though, with this sequel released in 1991. The player of the Street Fighter 2 casino slot can, just like the video game players, choose to play with any of the 8 main characters. The graphics are just as pixely and retro as 30 years ago. You can pick a character that often wins but usually not big or some of the characters that produce bigger but less frequent wins. When you have chosen your character, one of the other 7 characters will be randomly chosen as your opponent, and you'll be flown to that character's homeland to fight.

This slot has different environments depending on who you fight. If you end up fighting the American military Guile, you'll find yourself outside an airplane hangar with some of Guile's colleagues in the back next to an attack plane. One thing that's the same for all fights is the health points bar at the top of the screen, showing your character's name and current health point. You will also find your opponent's name and health to the right of your information. The reels are placed in the middle, with your character to the left and the opponent to the right. You will stay in the same location as long as you both have some health points left. When the knockout is a fact, you'll end up in the Car Smash Bonus Game if you lose or the Beat the Boss Free Spins if you manage to beat your opponent. You cannot start a new fight as long as a present fight is going on. To make a win, you'll need to land at least 4 of the same symbols in a cluster, connecting either horizontally or vertically. If you make a win, the winning symbols will disappear while new symbols fall down, creating an avalanche opening up for consecutive wins on one spin. You can play the game on desktops, notepads, and mobiles.  

The lower-paying symbols in this game are J, Q, K, and A. They pay the same, from 0.25X for landing 4 to 10X for landing 16 or more. Each character has its own 2 unique symbols: the high-value defeat and the high-value victory symbols. The symbols are depicted by each fighter, the first one when they are hurt and the second one showing them in good shape. The symbols pay the same no matter what character you're playing. A cluster with 4 defeat symbols pay 0.25X and a cluster of 16 or more pay 20X the bet. The most valuable victory symbol pays 0.50X if you land 4, and 30X the bet if your cluster contains 16 or more. There's also a wild symbol substituting for all symbols.    

Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior?

You can win up to 7142X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior?

The features are Avalanche, Player Select, Fight, Wild Symbol, Wild Combo, Colossal Symbols, Car Smash Bonus Game, Beat the Boss Free Spins, and Insert Coin Gamble Feature.

Avalanche

Whenever you hit a win, the involved symbols will vanish, and new symbols will fall into place, filling the reels. If the new symbols, on their own or with help from existing symbols, create a new win, the affected symbols will disappear again, making room for new ones. The Avalanche goes on as long as you keep on making wins, and they are all part of the same spin.

Player Select

Before you start spinning the reels, you have to choose what character you want to fight with. Whoever you choose, you'll start with a lifebar of 65 health points while your opponent will have 75 points on his or her bar. All characters have their special skill putting wild symbols on the reels in the Wild Combo, and the RTP varies slightly between 96.02-96.08% depending on what character you choose. Dhalsim, the first fighter to the left, is on average going to make more wins than the other characters, but they will not be big wins. The hit frequency playing with him is 34.25%. Furthest to the right is Ken, who, on average, makes few but big wins with a hit frequency of 18.38%. Here's a list of each character, their respective theoretical RTP, and what country they represent.

Dhalsim (India) = 96.04%

E. Honda (Japan) = 96.05%

Ryu (Japan) = 96.02%

Guile (USA) = 96.04%

Zangief (U.S.S.R) = 96.08%

Chun Li (China) = 96.08

Blanka (Brazil) = 96.08

Ken (USA) =  96.08

You will be facing your opponent for as many spins it takes before one of you is knocked out, and you cannot change your opponent until the fight is over. When a winner has been selected and the following features are over, you can choose if you want to continue with the same character or pick another one. Continuing will give you 75 health points in the next fight, and if you choose another fighter, you'll start with 65 health points. Your opponent will always start with 75 health points.

Fight

Whenever a character makes a win with the high-value symbols (defeat and victory), they will give their opponent as much damage as there are symbols. Let's say that your character lands a win of 6 defeat symbols; then your opponent will lose 6 health points. Wild symbols that take part in a high-value win don't take any health points from the opponents. A fight is over when one character has lost all health points. If you win, you'll be awarded the Beat The Boss Free Spins. If you lose, you end up at the Car Smash Bonus Game.  

Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol says WILD in blue retro letters and substitutes all symbols. It can land anywhere on the reels. Wilds taking parts of high-value wins will not lower the opponent's health points.

Wild Combo

Each character has a Wild Meter with seven positions above them when fighting. The meter fills up with one part for every wild symbol that lands on the reels. If the meter gets full, the character makes his or her special Wild Combo when no more avalanches are being made. The meter continues to fill up during avalanches but resets if it's not full when all wins have been made. This is each character's specialty:

Dhalsim = Places 3 or 4 wild symbols randomly on the grid.

E. Honda = Places 3 wild symbols on the same reel.

Ryu = Places 3 wild symbols on the same row.

Guile = Places 2 vertical stacks of wild symbols.

Zangief = Places 2 horizontal stacks of wild symbols.

Chun Li = Places 2 or 7 wild symbols randomly on the grid.

Blanka = Places 1 or 5 wild symbols on the same reel.

Ken =  Places 1 or 5 wild symbols on the same row.

Colossal Symbols

The high-paying victory and defeat symbols can come in big sizes. They appear as a single symbol, covering 2x2 positions on the grid. The Colossal Symbols count as 4 symbols, meaning you have a guaranteed win if you land one.

Car Smash Bonus Game

This is where you end up if you lose your fight. You can click on buttons to kick and punch a car until nothing remains of it. Smashing the car rewards a random win of 5X to 15X the bet. If you don’t want to go crazy on the car, you can also choose to click on a button that will destroy it instantly. You will end up at the Player Select feature when the car smashing is over.

Beat the Boss Free Spins

Okay, you won your match and advanced to the next level. Don't expect this to be as easy, though. This feature consists of at least one fight and at the most four fights if you advance all the way. Both you and your opponent will start with 25 health points, and the free spins will go on until one of you is knocked out. If you win the fight, you'll advance to the next level. If you lose, you'll end up at the Chose Character feature. All your wins during the free spins will be multiplied by each boss's special multiplier. Here are the four bosses:

Level 1 = Balrog (USA) 2X multiplier

Level 2 = Vega (Spain) 3X multiplier

Level 3 = Sagat (Thailand) 5X multiplier

Level 4 = M. Bison (unknown nationality) 10X multiplier

If you win the last fight against the dictator M.Bison, you’ll be rewarded an extra 100X the bet before you’re taken to the Player Select feature.

Insert Coin Gamble Feature

If your character is knocked out during the Beat the Boss Free Spins, you have a lifeline in the Insert Coin Gamble Feature. You get the option to use a part of your free spins winnings to restart the fight on the level you're playing. The fighters begin with 25 health points, the same amount as usual in the Beat the Boss Free Spins. If you win the match, you level up to meet the next boss, and if you lose, you're back at the Player Select menu.  

Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior Slot Conclusion

This game is something extra, no doubt about it. It is hard to find a video slot with such an entertaining story containing different characters with different abilities. Street Fighter 2 does, of course, also appeal to the millions of people who played the game in the early 90s, or later on when it was rereleased on Playstation and other platforms. The pixely graphics put the perfect retro feeling to it, and the music and classical punchlines from the characters are also spot on. The fight can be just as entertaining as the wins on the reels, and you can end up making nice wins even if your character loses. Don't expect to advance to the free spins all the time; the Beat the Boss Free Spins are on average activated 1 time in 243. The risk of ending up in the Car Smash Bonus Game is more than twice as likely.

When you manage to level up, you definitely don't want to stop until you reach the final boss, the dictator M. Bison who was given a British identity when Raul Julia portrayed him in the Hollywood movie from 1994, also starring action-hero Jean-Claude Van Damme. The Car Smash Bonus is an excellent little relief after losing a fight, although most players will probably get tired of it after a while. The concept of cascading wins, the so-called avalanches, also perfectly suits the game theme, and the characters' different abilities to produce wild symbols using their special powers are smart. Remember that the Insert Coin Gamble Feature gives you a second chance to beat M. Bison. Over the years, there have certainly been a lot of BIG WINS created on this exciting and lucrative slot.

The RTP is considered good, just above average in video slots. You will find some minor variation in the RTP from 96.02-96.08% depending on what character you choose, but it is so tiny that you probably prefer going with your favorite even if he or she has a slightly lower RTP. The max win of 7142X the bet is also perfectly fine for a game with medium/high volatility.

Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior from NetEnt is a retro casino slot of the classic fighting video game where you get to choose your favorite character fighting against bad bosses while the reels are spinning.
