Street Fighter was born in the arcades, helping to popularize the fighting game genre around the world. Over the past 30 years, it has blossomed into one of gaming’s most enduring franchises, gobbling up countless coins along the way, and its leap from arcade to home console turned it into a household name.
Although the vibes of Street Fighter shift every couple of years (2023’s Street Fighter 6 is its most expressive, refined look yet), each game maintains the qualities that put it on the map: memorable characters, a top-notch soundtrack, and being as fun to watch as it is to play.
