Street Fighter IV Hits Netflix Mobile: Classic Fighting Game Returns

The debate about the golden age of fighting games has raged on for years. Was it the 90s with iconic titles like Street Fighter III? The 2000s with the rise of Guilty Gear? Or perhaps the 2020s, dominated by series like Tekken? Regardless of which era you favor, few can deny that Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in revitalizing the fighting game genre.

Now, with the release of Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition on Netflix Games, you have the chance to dive back into this classic. With over 32 fighters and 12 iconic stages, you can relive the thrill of the fight. Whether you choose to play as the legendary duo Ryu and Ken, revisit Third Strike favorites like Elena and Dudley, or explore newer characters such as C. Viper and Juri Han, who debuted in this edition, the choice is yours.

The best part? All you need is a standard Netflix subscription to access Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition. You can engage in both online multiplayer battles and offline solo play. While controllers are supported for gameplay, note that they won't work for navigating the menu (and there's no word yet on fight-stick compatibility).

My time is now - Street Fighter IV is packed with content, from arcade mode for each character to adjustable difficulty settings that allow you to hone your skills at your own pace. As a beginner, keep in mind that the fighting game community has had years to perfect their techniques, so take advantage of the comprehensive tutorials designed to teach you the basics and beyond.
