9 Reasons Everybody Loves Street Fighter

4. You CAN Button Bash But You Really Shouldn€™t

Part of the franchise's long-lasting appeal has come directly from having a learning curve you can surf in on, no matter how exposed to the previous entries in the series you are.

From button-bashing Blanka electrocutions to unbelievably intense eSports tournament finales that see players daring to make the first move, there's a hell of a lot of depth to 'basic' Street Fighter play that only really opens up once you start delving into your fighter of choice.

Sure you might pull a win out our rear-end by bashing buttons the first couple of times, but go up against someone who knows what they're doing and you'll get absolutely annihilated. Just the way it should be.
