If you’re using a computer or a tablet you’ll be fine, but if you’re reading this on mobile and that arcade poster above messed up the text it might be best to read it in landscape/horizontal mode, even though that may go against everything you believe in. Housekeepingīefore we get started, there’s a couple of things I want to point out, just to avoid potential confusion and comments later.įirstly, this is an image-heavy article and the site is a bit funny when looking at right-aligned images on a mobile in portrait/vertical mode (which is something I’m working on). In preparation for the release of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection next week, then, enjoy the largest article I’ve ever written as we travel through the entire history of Street Fighter in true Tired Old Hack style: 27,000 words, one page, no ads or slideshows for your reading convenience. How do I know? Because I’m the mad bastard who’s tried to list every single one of them below. The main series is just the tip of the Street Fighter iceberg, though – the antenna on the smashable car, if you’d rather – because since that first game in 1987 there have been nearly 150 different Street Fighter games, spin-offs, movies, TV shows and cameo crossovers with other games. What’s impressive about it is that, its dated first game aside – hey, we’ve all got to start somewhere – more or less every main entry in the Street Fighter series refuses to age, and continues to be immensely playable while other, often younger, games start to feel practically prehistoric. The Street Fighter series is currently in its 30th year, and what a three decades it’s been.Ĭapcom’s one-on-one (and sometimes 2-on-2 and 3-on-3) fighting series has consistently entertained die-hards and occasional dabblers alike, from its ‘10p a go’ arcade days (yes, I’m old enough to remember when arcade games cost that) to its bombastic modern-day console offerings.
