It’s a bad game, and frankly it’s amazing something this rubbish got a sequel. It’s cool to see a bunch of series regulars making their first appearance – Gen, Eagle, Birdie, Adon and of course, Sagat – but other than that, the original Street Fighter is little more than a curio these days. Ryu and Ken, the only playable characters, do have their traditional special moves but they seem to come out at random when you input the commands. Unresponsive to the point where it’s difficult to know whether the buttons you’re pressing are having any effect on the fighters doing anything in the match.
Street Fighter – the original – is a TERRIBLE game. To celebrate its 30th year (in its 31st year, but who’s keeping track of these things?) Capcom have bundled together twelve Street Fighter titles, covering a large chunk of franchise history.Īnd despite being one of the best-selling, most beloved series of all time, it had a really, really bad start. Many different entries still played to this day by players casual and competitive, and a series that remains at the top of its genre. Street Fighter, however, is a series that is absolutely worthy of such acclaim. They’re words that have lost a bit of their meaning, overused and worn out. Words like ‘legendary’ and ‘classic’ are thrown around a lot these days when describing videogames, usually ones that have had multiple sequels and a lineage that goes back more than five years. Available on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch (version tested)
