Street Fighter II: Champion Edition is a competitive fighting game developed and published by Capcom. It is an enhanced version of the original Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (1991), featuring all four boss characters—Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and M. Bison—as playable fighters for the first time. Players choose from a roster of 12 distinct characters, each with unique moves, and battle in one-on-one matches across global stages. The game refined the genre with balanced gameplay, responsive controls, and introduced true competitive multiplayer in arcades.
A genre where players control characters who engage in close-range combat against opponents, typically in rounds. Movesets include punches, kicks, special attacks, and combos. Victory is achieved by depleting the opponent’s health bar within a time limit.
Designed for coin-operated machines, arcade games emphasize quick gameplay, competitive scoring, and often feature colorful graphics and simple controls to attract players in public spaces. Arcade fighting games like Street Fighter II were particularly known for head-to-head competitive play.
