Raein's review of Street Fighter

I think this game is retroactively beaten up way too much because of just how good Street Fighter II was. At the time of this title's release, I'd argue that the base gameplay was fine, and the fact that it effectively introduced special attacks and the six button fighting game layout makes it an incredibly important touchstone in the genre.

Absolutely agree! I’ve never played the original Street Fighter, but I’ve watched a friend play it, and just comparing it to earlier fighting games (Karate Champ, Yie Ar, etc) its fairly unique/impressive... though some of the fights seem too unfair 🤣 Of course, Street Fighter II was so jaw-droppingly amazing that it completely changed everything! Street Fighter 1 in comparison is so embarrassing - I appreciate how you look at games in retrospect with other games that were out at the time when judging them! ❤️
