Platform: Arcade, PS3, Xbox 360, Windows, 3DS, iOS, Android, PS4, Xbox One
Street Fighter may not be the original fighting game, but it is the series that will come to most people’s minds when you mention the genre. Street Fighter 2 was one of the most popular and successful games of the genre, and Street Fighter 4 did its best to replicate that same popularity.
Street Fighter 4 is an immensely enjoyable game, with a number of new additions to the combat mechanics and character roster that made the entry stand out. It also has an art style that makes it stand out from a number of the more realistic games in the genre.
As with previous entries of the Street Fighter series, there would go on to be multiple versions of Street Fighter 4, such as Ultimate and Super, but the first is possibly the most challenging, as they had yet to lower the difficulty of what is one of the most frustrating final bosses ever.
