“Street Fighter” began as an arcade game from Japanese company Capcom in 1987 and reached a pop culture high with 1991’s “Street Fighter II”, which revolutionised one-on-one playing.
It is a one-on-one fighting game where players select a character, a martial artist or fighter with a unique fighting style and battle opponents using punches, kicks, special moves, and combos.
The most recent edition of the game, “Street Fighter 6”, was released in June 2023 and won the award for best fighting game at the 2023 Game Awards.
