Street Fighter IV Hits Mobile Again via Netflix

The debate on the golden age of fighting games often swirls around iconic titles from different decades. Was it the '90s with Street Fighter III, the 2000s with Guilty Gear, or the 2020s dominated by Tekken? Regardless of the era, Street Fighter IV stands out as a pivotal title that reignited passion for this beloved genre.

Now, thanks to Netflix Games, fans and newcomers alike can dive into Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition. With a roster of over 32 fighters and 12 iconic stages, you can experience the thrill of battle with legends like Ryu and Ken, Third Strike veterans such as Elena and Dudley, and new favorites like C. Viper and Juri Han, who debuted in this classic.

The best part? All you need is a standard Netflix subscription to access this game, offering both online multiplayer and offline solo play. Controllers are supported for an enhanced gaming experience, though they won't work on the menu (no information available on fight-sticks yet).

Street Fighter IV is brimming with content, from arcade mode for each character to customizable difficulty settings that help you hone your skills. However, if you're a beginner, be prepared—the fighting game community has had plenty of time to perfect their techniques.
