Thousands Of People Are Watching Goldfish Playing “Street Fighter II” On The Internet

The showdown between Robert the Bruce and A.G. Aquarius will live through the ages.

What happens when you take two angry goldfish, wire up their tank to power some SNES controllers, and let them loose on a no-holds-barred game of Street Fighter II? THIS HAPPENS.

The fish battle every day from 7.30am to 10pm (from 12.30pm to 3am UK time) – check this video during those times or go to the site (outside those times the fish are having a rest).

As you can see, the action is SCINTILLATING.

As the fish swim around their tank, they activate different buttons on the SNES controllers. "The fish do not actually fight each other in real life," Hill is keen to point out on his Twitch page.

But they CAN do special move combos: if a fish moves in the right direction (from down to forward and a punch button, for Ryu or Ken's fireball) then they will trigger one. Although this seems to very rarely happen.
