Street Fighter 6' Revamps Iconic Video Game to Make it Easier for

OSAKA — When “Street Fighter” was released in 1987, it marked the beginning of a popular series of fighting games that made Capcom a household name in gaming. The company’s latest installment in the series, “Street Fighter 6,” was released in June this year, and the video game employs a new system to attract a wider and less-experienced audience. There is now the option to use simplified controller combinations to pull off powerful moves, instead of the complicated button combos fighting games are known for. In the Street Fighter games, players control a character who faces off against an opponent. The goal is to knock out the opponent through punches, kicks and thrilling special moves. The series initially appeared as an arcade game before being ported to home video game consoles. Not only the games themselves but also individual characters in the series have become highly popular, such as Ryu with his hadoken energy blast and female fighter Chun-Li. As of June this year, there were 98 game titles including spin-offs in the Street Fighter series, with around 52 million copies of the video game software sold worldwide. The player-versus-player nature of the game means it has also appeared in e-sport competitions.
