If both opponents knock each other out at the same time or the timer runs out with both fighters having an equal amount of vitality left, a "double KO" or "draw game" is declared and additional rounds will be played until sudden death. The objective of each round is to deplete the opponent's vitality before the timer runs out.
The player engages opponents in one-on-one close quarter combat in a series of best-two-out-of-three matches. Street Fighter II follows several of the conventions and rules already established by its original 1987 predecessor.
