For this episode we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Street Fighter.
Podcast regulars Gavin, Sarah and Stephen (that's me) are joined by Brian, aka
Doom, one of the most prominent members of the Irish fighting game scene
and expert in all things Guile related.
Street Fighter had humble beginnings as a rather forgettable fighting
game but that quickly changed with the release of the seminal Street
Fighter 2. Street Fighter 2 set the template for all fighting games that
followed and changed the arcade and competitive gaming scene. This
explosion in popularity led to numerous updates, sequels and spin-offs.
It’s not just street fighter, we also touch on the games the series
influenced. Capcom’s rivalry with fellow fighting game developer SNK is
discussed, Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct are openly mocked and we
come to the conclusion that no fighting game will ever better the
magnificent Dino Rex.
