Street Fighter II The World Warrior
街霸 II
Street Fighter is a one-on-one fighting game developed by Capcom and released in 1987. Players select from multiple fighters and compete in hand-to-hand combat against computer-controlled or human opponents. The game features an eight-button control layout consisting of a joystick and six buttons for varying punch and kick strengths. Each character executes unique special moves through directional inputs combined with button presses—including the Hadoken projectile and the Shoryuken rising punch. Combat requires blocking, timing, and mastery of character-specific techniques. Players progress through a tournament-style bracket, facing successive opponents with increasing difficulty. Victory in each round advances the player to the next matchup. Street Fighter supports direct two-player arcade competition, allowing friends to compete head-to-head.
