Street Fighter IV is making a comeback with its latest release on Netflix, allowing fans to experience the classic fighting game on mobile devices once again. Titled Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition, the game features a roster of 32 fighters and 12 iconic stages, enabling players to engage in battles either solo or online. The debate over the golden era of fighting games continues, with some arguing for the 90s classics like Street Fighter III, others favoring the 2000s with hits such as Guilty Gear, and many enjoying the current dominance of titles like Tekken. Regardless, Street Fighter IV undeniably played a significant role in revitalizing interest in the fighting genre, and now, thanks to Netflix Games, it is accessible to a new generation of gamers.
Characters like Ryu and Ken are back, alongside popular faces from previous titles, ensuring a rich experience for both old and new fans. Perhaps the most enticing part is that a standard Netflix subscription is all that’s needed to access this game. Players can dive into both online multiplayer battles and offline solo modes. While controllers are supported for gameplay, the menu remains accessible only through touch controls.
Street Fighter IV is packed with extensive content, including arcade modes and adjustable difficulty levels to help players improve their skills. For beginners, the game offers a variety of tutorials designed to ease them into the mechanics of fighting games. Whether Street Fighter IV becomes your introduction to this competitive genre or you’re a returning player, mobile gaming provides an excellent platform for exciting, action-packed battles.
