Good Day,
I never thought that many of the street fighter 2 stages were based on real locations, after discovering this I made a list of the locations that served as inspiration.
If you know any other scenarios of another game in the street fighter series post in the topic.
Ken and Zangief's stage are inspired by the movie Hard Times (1975) staring Charles Bronson (includes the fights that happened in these scenes).
