Street Fighter Video Game Series
A series of brawlers counted among the strict canon of the genre. The series was created by Takashi Nishiyama and Hiroshi Matsumoto and is considered one of the most important brands in the portfolio of the Japanese company Capcom.
The first part of the series - Street Fighter - was released in 1987 on arcade machines and met with moderate interest among gamers. The breakthrough was made only by the sequel, released four years later, Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, which turned out to be an unquestionable hit (combined sales revenues of the original and ports are estimated at $1.5 billion). In 1997, the third installment of the series went on sale, namely. Street Fighter III: New Generation. For the full-fledged fourth installment of the series, Street Fighter IV, fans had to wait for nearly 11 years, until 2008. The fifth installment of the series, or Street Fighter V, debuted a little sooner (but that does not mean shortly after the release of its predecessor), in 2016. The full-fledged part six, Street Fighter 6, went on sale in 2023. Over the years, the individual games under the banner of Street Fighter have seen various re-releases and remasters, either as stand-alone products or as part of various compilations. In addition, various spin-offs of the brand were released, the most interesting of which is released in 2012. Street Fighter X Tekken, allowing players to duel with characters known from the series. Street Fighter and its competing series - Tekken.
The plot plays a secondary role in the Street Fighter series. In general, its theme is a tournament in which fighters representing different fighting styles compete. The gallery of heroes and heroines includes dozens of characters, each with their own story, a distinct set of attacks and defenses, as well as a home arena for duels.
Fighting in Street Fighter is strictly arcade in nature. Clashes are played out in rounds, ending with a knockout or running out of time. The characters have a large repertoire of punches, kicks, jumps, dodges, blocks, etc. In addition, each fighter also has unique special skills and plays, such as ranged attacks. Released in 2016 Street Fighter V introduced the V-Gauge bar, recharged when a character is attacked. Filling it up allows you to perform special attacks, counterattacks, as well as gain temporary bonuses, such as to damage dealt.
Classic installments of the series are characterized by two-dimensional graphics, maintained in cartoon style. The action is shown from the side, and the fighting characters are seen in profile (the whole silhouette or just the head). In newer games in the series, developers usually combine hand-drawn 2D backgrounds and 3D models of characters and some objects on the boards.
The popularity of the brand Street Fighter has gone far beyond video games. The series has lived to see, among other things, a series of comic books, several series and anime films, a feature-length motion picture starring actors, and a cinematic production directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak - the Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009).
