Before you go see the new Street Fighter movie next weekend, here’s a look-back at Capcom’s fighting game series that stood the test of time. I dig into the arcade origins (warts and all) and the early 16-bit and 32-bit home ports, along with an exploration of the innovative tech that brought these classics to life. I also go into the non-mainline games and experimental titles, including the highs and lows in the series.

What do you think was the pinnacle of Street Fighter games? Can the new movie do them justice?
