Original Street Fighter

The original Street Fighter is the first game in the Street Fighter series in the 8-bit era. --Zachkudrna18@yahoo.com

The original Street Fighter is the first game in the Street Fighter series. Period. --Ifrit 06:40, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What system was this game played on?

I assume it was an arcade game, but the article doesn't say. This info should be in the first sentence. (unsigned post by user:69.251.203.5 )

You're right, done. It already used the "Arcade Game" Infobox though. ;) ShotokanTuning 08:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An old friend of mine had this game for his Sega CD back in 2nd grade or so (I'm 22 as of the time of this writing). I can't seem to find anything that would legitimize my memory on the internet that would justify me editing the article however, leading me to believe that there were very few produced. It could be that it was an illegal port, who knows...just wanted to throw it out that I have played this on Sega CD. -- Dan N.

I added the info about the Atari ST port after watching that review Ashens made of Human Killing Machine. --I Am Magnus^talk 19:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

In the article it says People did not like to just play the same character, but can someone give me an example of a versus fighting game that came out before Street Fighter that had a choice of playable characters? From people who have played the arcade when it came out I have heard nothing but good things about the original Street Fighter, and I've only seen criticism from online reviews that compared it to it's sequel.

I cringed when I read this as well, as I don't recall any arcade games that were anything even remotely like the original Street Fighter in its timeframe. It seems like a comment made in retrospect, rather than one of that time. -- Dan N.

As far as I know, alot of people gives it a good review for a game of that time.

"I don't recall any arcade games that were anything even remotely like the original Street Fighter in its timeframe." Well, there was Yie Ar Kung Fu, but that didn't let you choose characters either.76.226.208.200 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:02, 25 January 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Weird question

Is it just me, or when you start a match in this game, the announcer says "Round (# here) Michael!"? ^SilentRAGE! 02:18, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's the japanese spelling of "Fight"-Faito or something like it.Master Bigode 17:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unique arcade machine?

Wasn't the arcade machine quite unique? I remember it had these oversized rubber buttons which you had to hit quite hard (In fact, I used to see kids double up and play a single character because it was so difficult to both control and press the buttons at the same time) Bmathew 04:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it had two oversized buttons (per player) that were pressure sensitive. In theory, you were supposed to hit the buttons harder to make the character use harder attacks, but in practice, it just made the game harder to play.69.216.98.105 04:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This game exists?

i thought the first street fighter was street fighter 2. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.6.238.246 (talk) 16:37, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just about everything that has a 2 after it has a 1 before it. JuJube (talk) 17:25, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Street Fighter (video game)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Street Fighter (video game)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "HG101":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:55, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
