“Street Fighter” first hit arcades 30 years ago in 1987, and “Street Fighter II” sent shockwaves throughout the gaming world in 1991 with its revolutionary competitive gameplay and incredible personality, establishing the “fighter” as a serious genre of video games. Today the series is a leader in “eSports” with worldwide tournaments, and is enjoyed around the world not only for its ever-evolving gameplay but also for its characters and story through other media such as film and animation.
