Street Fighter II
Also known as Street Fighter 2, SF2
Street Fighter II is a 1991 fighting game developed by Capcom for arcades. Players choose from a diverse roster of eight world warriors, each with distinctive moves and special attacks, and face off in one-on-one, best-of-three bouts across international backdrops.
The game popularized the competitive fighting genre with its precise six-button layout distinguishing light, medium and heavy punches and kicks, and hidden special-move inputs, such as fireballs and dragon punches, that rewarded skill and practice. Its combo system, discovered partly by accident, added a layer of depth that competitive players would explore for years, while its varied cast and head-to-head play turned arcades into social battlegrounds and spawned numerous updated editions.
Street Fighter II is often credited with igniting the modern fighting-game boom and the competitive scene around it, driving a wave of imitators. It has been re-released and updated countless times, and remains accessible through arcade collections and digital re-releases on current platforms.
