Street Fighter II on Live Arcade

On the first Wednesday of August Microsoft will make the 90s fighting game phenom "Street Fighter II" available for download on Xbox Live Arcade.

Question: Will this be the killer app for Live Arcade? Will the online play not suffer? Will all the fighting mechanics and precise timing, etc., hold up?

Comment: "SFII" should finally ween people off "Geometry Wars" regardless of how good or bad it plays, which is kind of unsettling. If it plays well enough online, one can only expect the game to beat all or most next-gen games in sales for the month of August.

Snide Remark: The $400 dollar, most powerful console on the market, Xbox 360 being used to play a game that wasn't even cutting edge on the Super Nintendo... how the mighty have fallen.
