New fun fact drop, this time about our infamous STREET FIGHTER II 🤼‍♂️ Come try it out tonight, we are open till 02:00!

🥊Street Fighter II is a competitive fighting game released in the early 90s by Osaka-based Capcom. It’s a sequel to 1987’s Street Fighter.

🥊The characters of the game have unique personalities. They are all given extensive background stories, specific physical traits (from age to blood type), fighting stats & special moves.

🥊Chun-Li was the first female character in the Street Fighter canon and the first important playable woman in a fighting game, paving the way for characters such as Lara Croft.

🥊Street Fighter designers were inspired by some of the real-life fighting champs when they were creating characters. Fei Long is channelling Bruce Lee, and Balrog bears a strong resemblance to boxer Mike Tyson. 

🥊To avoid legal backlash because of this when releasing the game in the U.S. and elsewhere, Capcom came up with a system for swapping character names and roles in the game. In Japan, the boxer character is called M. Bison, and in the U.S. he’s Balrog. In Japan, the “Spanish ninja” character is Balrog; in the U.S., he’s Vega. 

🥊SF’s groundbreaking combo system was invented by accident. Special moves were at first very hard to pull off, as you had to do several things simultaneously. So the developers tried to open up the time window a little - and as a side effect, it was suddenly possible to perform a quick series of connected moves.

🥊Up to this date, it remains one of the best-selling games Capcom.
