The 7.6 vs 3.58 thing is a bit off because those chips do different work, the Genesis CPU is faster but the SNES has that separate sound chip and better graphics modes, so it's not really apples to apples. On colors, the Genesis could show 64 at once but the SNES had more on screen plus that transparency stuff, which is why SF2 looked sharper like you said. For me the Genesis case is Gunstar Heroes and Contra Hard Corps, those run smooth in a way the SNES just couldn't keep up with. But then you look at Yoshi's Island or Donkey Kong Country and the SNES is doing stuff the Genesis can't touch. So neither one won, they just did different things well.

Wait, losing on purpose just to hear her say she was wrong?

Forgive me for laughing at the fact that you got stood up at your own wedding by a guy who then took you out for burgers like nothing happened. Honestly that sounds like a sitcom plot, and I kind of love that it worked out. Eight months feels about right for that bruise to fade.
