Street Fighter 1987

About

Street Fighter came out in 1987 for Arcade, then for PC on December 7, 2006. The main story takes about 1 hour, doing everything about 7 hours.

Street Fighter is the first fighting game produced by Capcom and the very first game in the Street Fighter series. While it did not achieve the same popularity as its sequels when it was first released, the original Street Fighter introduced some of the conventions made standard in later games such as attack buttons and special command-based techniques.

Beyond the competitive circuit, Street Fighter is expanding into new territories. Capcom recently detailed the development of Yasmine, the franchise's first Filipino character, broadening the roster's representation. A live-action film adaptation is in development, with the director emphasizing a departure from typical video game movie conventions. Production details have surfaced about the film's lead, including extensive physical preparation by the actress portraying Chun-Li, while trailers have highlighted the central conflict between series mainstays Ryu and Ken.
