The Huge Importance of Street Fighter | Kim Justice

Capcom’s first Street Fighter game from 1987 hasn’t aged well. In fact, it’s aged so badly that sometimes, people forget how important it actually was — the original arcade didn’t just set the foundations for Street Fighter II, it laid the groundwork for Its fiercest competitors. It’s time to give SF1 a bit more love. Enjoy!
