Street Fighter IV: Netflix Revives Classic for Mobile Gaming

The debate over the peak era of the fighting game genre has been ongoing. Was it the 90s, with classics like Street Fighter III? The 2000s, marked by Guilty Gear? Or perhaps the 2020s, dominated by titles like Tekken? Regardless of the answer, there's little doubt that Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in reigniting passion for this beloved genre.

Thanks to Netflix Games, fans can now dive back into Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition, featuring a robust roster of over 30 fighters and 12 iconic stages. Whether you're drawn to the classic rivalry between Ryu and Ken, revisiting Third Strike favorites like Elena and Dudley, or exploring newer characters like C. Viper and Juri Han, who made their debut in this game, there's something for every fan.

The best part? All you need is a standard Netflix subscription to access this thrilling title. Enjoy the game with both online multiplayer and offline solo modes. While controllers are supported for gameplay, note that they can't be used for navigating menus (and there's no confirmation on fight-stick compatibility).

Street Fighter IV is brimming with content, from arcade modes for each character to adjustable difficulty settings that allow you to refine your skills at your own pace. However, beginners should be aware that the fighting game community has been honing their skills for years.

If you're new to fighting games, Street Fighter IV on mobile offers a fantastic entry point. The game includes comprehensive tutorials to help you master the art of combat, alongside the adjustable difficulty settings. Could this be your gateway into the world of fighting games?
