StreetFighter

Street Fighter is a popular series of one-on-one fighting video games developed and published by Capcom. The franchise began in 1987 with the release of the original Street Fighter arcade game. Its sequel, Street Fighter II, released in 1991, is widely credited with popularizing the fighting game genre and becoming a massive commercial success. The core gameplay involves two characters engaging in hand-to-hand combat within a time limit.

Over the years, Capcom has released numerous installments in the main series, including Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter III, Street Fighter IV, and Street Fighter V, each introducing new characters, gameplay mechanics, and graphical enhancements. Beyond the main series, the franchise has spawned numerous spin-offs, crossover titles like Marvel vs. Capcom, and a significant presence in esports and competitive gaming. Street Fighter has also been adapted into various other media, including animated series, films, and comic books, further cementing its status as a cultural phenomenon. The series continues to be a benchmark in the fighting game community, celebrated for its strategic depth and enduring appeal.
