The debate over the golden age of fighting games continues to rage on. Was it the 90s, with classics like Street Fighter III? The 2000s, marked by the rise of Guilty Gear? Or perhaps the 2020s, with the dominance of games like Tekken? Regardless of the era, it's undeniable that Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in revitalizing interest in this iconic genre.
Now, fans can relive the excitement with Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition, available on Netflix Games. This edition brings over 32 fighters and 12 iconic stages to your fingertips. Whether you prefer the classic duo of Ryu and Ken, the returning Third Strike favorites Elena and Dudley, or newcomers like C. Viper and Juri Han, there's a character for every player.
The best part? You only need a standard Netflix subscription to dive in. Enjoy the game in online multiplayer mode or take on the challenge solo. And yes, controllers are supported, though they can't be used for navigating the menu (no information yet on fight-sticks).
Street Fighter IV is brimming with content, from arcade mode for each character to adjustable difficulty settings that allow you to hone your skills at your own pace. However, newcomers should be aware that the fighting game community has had years to perfect their craft.
