STREET FIGHTER

e-SPORTS

Street Fighter

8/30/1987

A talented martial artist, Ryu, and his rival, Ken, challenge fighters around the world in a bid to become the strongest. At the time of release the game could be played on two different cabinet types; one with the different strength punches and kicks mapped out across six buttons, and another that featured two pressure-sensitive buttons that determined the strength of attacks. Player one would always be Ryu, and player two Ken, as they were the only playable characters. The pair could pull off their iconic Hadoken, Shoryuken, and Tatsumaki Senpyukyaku moves even then, but only if you knew how to. The commands weren't publicly shared like they are today.

The Four Kings were added as playable characters in Street Fighter II Champion Edition, and Super Street Fighter II saw the additional of another four brand-new fighters. Between Street Fighter II, Champion Edition, Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting, Super, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo, the game has five versions that are still played by ardent fans, even now.
