The debate over the peak era of fighting games has been ongoing for years. Was it the '90s with classics like Street Fighter III? The 2000s with the rise of Guilty Gear? Or perhaps the 2020s, dominated by titles like Tekken? Regardless of opinions, few can deny that Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in revitalizing the genre.
Now, thanks to Netflix Games, fans can dive back into the action with Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition. This version brings over 30 iconic fighters and 12 memorable stages to your fingertips. Whether you're a fan of the classic duo Ryu and Ken, returning favorites from Third Strike like Elena and Dudley, or newcomers like C. Viper and Juri Han, there's a fighter for everyone.
The best part? You only need a standard Netflix subscription to jump into the fray. The game supports both online multiplayer and offline solo play, and while controllers are compatible, they can't be used for navigating menus (no information yet on fight-stick support).
Street Fighter IV is brimming with content, offering an arcade mode for each character and adjustable difficulty settings to help you hone your skills. If you're new to fighting games, be prepared—the community has been sharpening their techniques for years. But don't worry; the game provides a range of tutorials to guide you through the basics and beyond.
Could Street Fighter IV be your entry into the world of fighting games? If so, mobile gaming is the perfect platform to start. Don't just take my word for it—check out our ranking of the top 25 best fighting games for iOS and Android to discover more thrilling, action-packed combat experiences.
