Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior slot base game screenshot

With a video game/branded/90s theme, the Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior slot is an official, branded game which has been created in cooperation with Capcom.

With the original video game released in 1991, the greatest fighting game of all time comes to life in slots form. The Street Fighter II video game of 1 of the highest-grossing video games of all time and has inspired sequels and films.

Using 8-bit graphics like the video/arcade game, the first thing you need to do is choose 1 of the 8 characters to play with who then fight a random opponent. Choosing from Ken, Ryu, Guile, Zangief, Chun Li, Blanka, E. Honda and Dhalsim, the background and country changes depending on your character.

It uses the graphics from the original video game. You’ll also hear the original music. Being in my forties, I must I grew up playing the video game so it evokes pleasant memories. I must also add that the slot game encapsulates the video game perfectly for the ultimate nostalgic experience.

On the grid, symbols include low-value A, K, Q and J royals. You will also see Victory and Defeat versions of each character symbol with the same payouts. You will win between 0.5 and 30 times your bet for Victory symbols and between 0.25 and 20 times your total bet for Defeat symbols. Below is a list of all symbol payouts:

  • A/K/Q/J: 4 to 16+ pays 0.25 to 10 x bet
  • Defeat: 4 to 16+ pays 0.25 to 20 x bet
  • Victory: 4 to 16+ pays 0.5 to 30 x bet
  • Joystick/UFO: 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 4 or 15 x bet
  • Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior Logo: 2, 3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 2, 5 or 25 x bet

Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior also comes with a Wild symbol that can land in any position on the grid and substitutes for all symbols. There are no bonus or scatter symbols.

Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior Mobile

Even though the video game was released in 1991, Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior has been carefully created using HTML5 technology. Compatible with laptop, PC, mobile and tablet devices, you can enjoy this trip down memory lane on iOS and Android smartphones. For the latter, this is Portrait Mode which occupies more of your handheld screen for a better visual experience. However, I would recommend playing on a laptop or PC to get the full Street Fighter 2 experience.

Bonus Features

Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior comes with 7 bonus features. The first step is to choose a character to play with which does battle against a random opponent. Wins can be formed with Victory and Defeat symbols which impacts the character’s Health Points. With Avalanches to help form successive wins, wins with high-value symbols trigger each character’s Wild Combo feature where wilds are added to the grid. If you lose your battle, you will smash the car for cash prizes whilst winning will see you play the Beat the Boss Free Spins. Defeating your opponent will see you move through the levels and benefit from an increasing multiplier up to 10x.

Battles 

Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior slot Player Select screenshot

Before you start playing Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior, you need to choose from the 8 characters on the Player Select screen. The RTP rate also varies by character. Awarding fewer to more wins, a random opponent is chosen to battle your chosen character.

Each character and opponent comes with Victory and Defeat symbols. These appear as single or 2x2 Colossal symbols. When a winning cluster includes either of these symbols, the character’s symbols deal damage to the opponent while the opponent’s symbols deal damage to the character.

Health Points

Damage is displayed on the Health Points bar. When the character’s or opponent’s Health Points total reaches zero, they lose the battle. The number of Health Points lost is equal to the number of Victory or Defeat symbols in winning clusters.

Avalanche

When a winning cluster is formed, the Avalanche feature is triggered. Winning symbols are removed from the grid with the remaining symbols falling into the empty positions. New symbols then drop in to fill the grid. If new winning clusters are formed, the process repeats itself until no more new wins are on the grid.

Wild Gauge & Wild Combos

In the base game and Beat the Boss Free Spins feature, your chosen character comes with a Wild Gauge that resets between each spin. The Wild Gauge is filled by 1 point for each high-value symbol that is part of a winning cluster.

When no more winning clusters appear on the grid and there are 7 or more points in the Wild Gauge, your character will use their own Wild Combo feature that randomly places wild symbols on the grid. Below, you’ll find the RTP and Wild Combo feature description for each character:

CharacterWild Combo featureRTP Rate
RyuAdds 3 wilds on the same row96.02%
DhalsimAdds 3 or 4 wilds anywhere on the grid96.04%
GuileAdds 2 vertical stacks of 2 wilds on the grid96.04%
E. HondaAdds 3 wilds on the same column96.05%
KenAdds 1 or 5 wilds on the same row96.06%
BlankaAdds 1 or 5 wilds on the same column96.08%
Chun LiAdds 2 or 7 wilds randomly on the grid96.08%
ZangiefAdds 2 horizontal stacks of 2 wilds on the grid96.08%

Car Smash Bonus Game

If your chosen character loses his battle against the opponent (with the character’s Health Points tally reaching zero), the Car Smash Bonus Game feature will triggered.

You then manually smash a car like in the video game. There is a ‘Quick Finish’ button option too. If you manage to smash the car, you’ll win a cash prize of between 5 and 15 times your total bet. You can then carry on playing with the same character or choose another for a new battle.

Beat the Boss Free Spins

Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior slot Beat the Boss Free Spins feature screenshot

When your chosen character wins their battle against the opponent (by reducing the opponent’s Health Points tally to zero), you will activate the Beat the Boss Free Spins feature.

With 4 levels, each level has its own opponent and level multiplier. Beginning at level 1 with a 2x multiplier, your character fights a different opponent on every level with the level multiplier increasing with each victory.

Winning clusters are subject to the level multiplier on each level. Defeating the opponent will move you to the next level where the level multiplier increases and the opponent changes. Below are the details:

LevelOpponentLevel Multiplier
1Balrog2x
2Vega3x
3Sagat5x
4M. Bison10x

With no set number of free spins, the feature continues until one of the characters is defeated. If you manage to finish the feature undefeated (by defeating Balrog, Vega, Sagat and M. Bison), an additional prize of 100 times your total bet will be awarded.

Insert Coin Gamble 

Finally, losing your battle in 1 of the levels in the Beat the Boss Free Spins feature will allow you to use the Insert Coin Gamble feature.

If you decide to do so, you will sacrifice a portion of your winnings from the feature in exchange with the Health Points tally of both characters at 25 instead of 75. This allows you to restart the current level in the Beat the Boss Free Spins feature. If you decide to use the Insert Coin Gamble feature, the RTP rate increases between 98.7% and 100%.

Expert Verdict

Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior slot OLBG Rating banner

True to the original video game, the Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior slot uses the same 8-bit graphics, characters, settings and sounds making for the ultimate trip down memory lane. If you’re a fan of the video game, you’re going to love this slot adaptation.

When you fire up the game, you need to choose from 1 of the 8 characters who battle a random opponent. The RTP rate does vary between characters from 96.02% up to 96.08%. With any character, you need to land winning clusters which will reduce the Health Points tally of your character or opponent.

If you fill the Wild Gauge by landing winning clusters with high-value symbols, a Wild Combo feature will trigger to add wilds onto the grid. I found the Chun Li Wild Combo to be the most lucrative with up to 7 wild symbols adding to random positions on the grid.

The Car Smash Bonus Game feature will bring back memories of the iconic video game but it’s all it does with maximum wins of 15 times your total bet up for grabs. The bigger wins will come in the Beat the Boss Free Spins feature where defeating opponents will see you move through the levels for a multiplier up to 10x on winning clusters. If you manage to defeat M. Bison in the last level, a bonus of 100 times your total bet will also be awarded.

With 7,142 times bet max wins, the Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior slot will definitely appeal to those who enjoyed the iconic video/arcade game back in the 90s. From Ryu’s ‘Hadouken to Chun Li’s unstoppable lightning kick and E. Honda’s Hundred Hand Slap, NetEnt has carefully crafted this slot game to deliver a perfect dose of nostalgia.

If you’re into classic arcade games, Inspired Gaming’s Space Invaders slot is recommended. If you’re into branded slots, check out OLBG’s guide to the best TV slots which include Game of Thrones and Vikings.
