   Well, SFA1 is just a much smaller game too. I mean, there are, what, 8   
   characters...three of which are pretty much just palette swaps? Just   
   makes more sense, on a cart, to attempt the smaller of the two games.   
   Your chances of pulling off a more accurate conversion is greatly   
   increased. ;)

    From what I've read, SFA1 was more of a test than anything else. They   
   wanted to see if the public was ready to go for a more combo-happy   
   Street Fighter. This definitely explains why the character roster was so   
   amazingly small, and there were only like, what, 4 or 5 backgrounds?   
      
   Still, I agree with you, I like the way SFA2 plays more than SFA1(though   
   I don't mind the chains, to tell you the truth, it was a nice change of   
   pace). SFA3 just makes me sick to my stomach....   
      
   BTW, expect a PM via the forums here in a bit....the sale has begun. ;)
