The Street Fighter series is as big a part of our gaming history as the Mario, Sonic, and Pac-Man franchises are. Without Street Fighter, we probably wouldn’t have Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters, or even Soul Calibur, Tekken, or Virtua Fighter. Capcom brought on a change in the genre that was as significant as what Nintendo did with Super Mario Bros. and the NES. Prior to Capcom’s involvement, the best gamers had to play was Yie Ar Kung Fu and Karate Champ.
