Street Fighter did have a bit of a weird naming thing where we were all like “when is one of these going to be called 3?”, but those are all different games on different cartridges. Same with MK3 versus Ultimate MK3. Like, yeah, they’ve got a lot of the same bones but they didn’t release one broken, update it for 10 years and then never release anything else.
The SF2 situation wouldn’t happen in the same way today because those would all be DLCs or updates. Or like, paid alternate skins and new characters.

Yes, exactly. Not having to pay full price to buy the game all over again for these updates is way better for the consumer.
