Street Fighter (short-SF) is a fighting game - video game series by Capcom , which was made into a movie. The most diverse fighters from all over the world fight against each other with individual special moves .

Gameplay

Street Fighter caused little stir when it first appeared in the late 1980s. Street Fighter II, however, received more attention. It introduced the special move system, which allows experienced players to perform complex combat movements by pressing the joystick or control pad and buttons in a specific order. These complicated fighting movements were given names such as dragon punch or hurricane kick , which were common terms in the conversations among gamers. The game had eight playable fighters (Ryu, Ken, Blanka, Zangief, Dhalsim, Guile, E. Honda and Chun-Li) plus four boss opponents (Balrog, Vega, Sagat and M. Bison). After Street Fighter II , a veritable flood of similar games soon appeared, including some from Capcom itself. One of the best-known early competitors of Street Fighter II was the Fatal Fury series from SNK Playmore , which has many other similar series with innovations produced.

development

Capcom released Street Fighter on its in-house arcade board, the Capcom Play System (CPS), which is still used today for Street Fighter III 3rd Strike , the last real successor to the series for the time being. However, this is based on the latest variant of the CPS, the CPS III.

After the release of an improved Street Fighter II called Street Fighter II Championship Edition , many modified versions ( bootlegs ) of the game appeared, which made it possible, for example, to control the previously unplayable bosses. Many arcades recorded the bootlegs. These were widespread until Capcom released Street Fighter II Turbo . In 1993 and 1994 a new version of the game was released with Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers . As the subtitle suggests, new characters have been added: Fei Long, Cammy, Dee Jay and T. Hawk.

  • Rival Schools - United By Fate - First produced in Japan as Shiritsu Justice Gakuen as an arcade and later released for the PlayStation in a version extended by a role-playing mode, Kasugano Sakura is among the heroes of this 3D fighting game as a fully playable character. In the role-play mode, other street fighters appear in supporting roles (Karin) or are at least mentioned by name (Akuma, Dan). When Capcom was working on the first sequel, Sakura was increasingly involved in the plot, which led to some points of friction with the timeline of the Street Fighter series. For the third title in the series, which appeared as an arcade and for the Dreamcast and for which a different development team is responsible, it was decided to take Sakura out of the game. The whole series did not achieve great popularity, however, nor sufficient sales figures, which is mainly due to the difficult to digest moral message, which runs as a red thread through the entire plot and was only tolerated by a small number of players.

The course of the fight was a lot simpler, with the focus on the gags, for example, the fighters could use various objects in the area such as street signs, paint brushes or 100-ton bats or slip into different costumes, including showgirl outfits, wrestler masks and even the costumes of some of the other Capcom characters.
