9 Reasons Everybody Loves Street Fighter

8. The Perfected Feel Of Combat

You can keep your gorgeously-animated combos, Tekken, and your environmental-finishers, Dead or Alive - when it comes down to it, although Street Fighter can tick those more advanced boxes with ease, it's the basic feel of every leaping kick, every crouched punch and every hammered button press that enamoured Capcom's finest in the most enjoyablesense.

Whether you've played SF for hours or minutes, there's an immediately responsive feel to getting behind any character that immediately makes you feel in control. You'll be pummelling your opponent and flinging the occasionally accidental projectile within minutes, and that's before you've even looked at a move list.
