Debates about the peak of the fighting game genre often swirl around the 90s with classics like Street Fighter III, the 2000s with Guilty Gear, or the 2020s dominated by titles like Tekken. However, it's undeniable that Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in revitalizing the genre, bringing fresh excitement to the iconic brawling scene.

Now, Netflix Games offers you the chance to dive back into the action with Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition. With a roster boasting over 32 fighters and 12 iconic stages, you can battle it out as beloved characters like Ryu and Ken, or experience the return of Third Strike favorites such as Elena and Dudley. Plus, don't miss out on the debuts of fan-favorites C. Viper and Juri Han from this legendary release.

The best part? You can access all this excitement with just a standard Netflix subscription. Whether you prefer online multiplayer battles or offline solo play, Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition has you covered. While controllers are supported for gameplay, they won't work on the menu system (and there's no word yet on fight-stick compatibility).

Street Fighter IV is brimming with content, from arcade modes for each character to adjustable difficulty settings that help you hone your skills gradually. Just a heads-up for beginners: the fighting game community has been sharpening their skills for years.

If you're new to fighting games, fear not. The game offers a variety of tutorials alongside its adjustable difficulty, making it the perfect gateway to mastering the art of combat. Is Street Fighter IV your entry point into the world of fighting games? If so, mobile gaming is the place to start.
