not sure how many of you check MAMENAVI (http://www.mamenavi.com) on a regular basis but they added a pretty interesting inp lately. Since a couple people seemed interested in seeing a "perfect game" on Street Fighter II, now's your chance.

http://www.mamenavi.com/replay/sf2jb.zip

The guy uses Zangief, and does indeed get 22 perfect rounds for a score of 1,513,200 (I think). But the interesting thing is that he builds his score by causing Double KO's. Since this is the only SF which can go past 4 rounds (up to 10), he'll get one Perfect, try to get as many as Double KO's as possible through hit trades, then when he finally loses a round, gets the other Perfect easy. Gets kinda tiring though (the first battle lasted 8 rounds and netted him 120k).

Plays back fine with DOS 0.36 Final. Just thought others might want to see this.

Some additional points of interest to what BBH's comments:

As well as double KO's I saw one draw (Battle 1 vs Blanka, round 5) that occured when both players lifelines were the same and the time ran out. This I've seen before. But what was unusual was that just after the time ran out, Zangief performed a jumping attack that knocked Blanka out (his lifeline didn't move though).

In Battle 7 vs Dhalsim, round 4 with one knockout each, Zangief had to go for the perfect. He stuffed it up and got hit so he had to turn that attempted perfect into a double KO instead - which he managed to do! In this case he used a double KO as insurance against a failed perfect attempt - wow!

I've never seen a game with 22 perfects before, I think it is quite rare. Coupled with about 20 double KO's makes this a pretty outstanding inp if it is legitimate.
