The Street Fighter series is another game developed by Capcom. It is a two-dimensional fighting game made up of human, demon, and robotic characters who have unusual powers. The first game was released in 1987 and was a commercial failure, but the second game, released in 1991, commercialized 1-1 fighting games.
Later, a prequel, the Street Fighter Alpha series, was added. It detailed the stories of the characters in 2, and had a new, more complex fighting system.
Street Fighter 3 replaced all the characters save for the main characters Ryu and Ken with new, younger characters.
Street Fighter IV, luckily, rebooted the series and added a few new characters, including the android, Seth. Street Fighter V further continued the plot to the ultimate battle.
Street Fighter 6 is the most recent installment, and takes place after V, where a bunch of different plots add themselves into one big action-RPG.
