"Street Fighter IV Returns to Mobile via Netflix"

The debate over the peak era of fighting games is a hot one. Was it the 90s, with classics like Street Fighter III? The 2000s, dominated by titles like Guilty Gear? Or perhaps the 2020s, with the likes of Tekken leading the charge? Regardless, there's no denying that Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in reigniting passion for this beloved genre.

Now, thanks to Netflix Games, fans can dive back into the action with Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition. With a roster of over 32 fighters and 12 iconic stages, the game brings back fan-favorites like Ryu and Ken, as well as returning characters from Street Fighter III: Third Strike such as Elena and Dudley. Newcomers to the series, like C. Viper and Juri Han, also make their debut in this legendary title.

The best part? You can access this thrilling experience with just a standard Netflix subscription. Whether you prefer to duke it out online with players from around the world or enjoy solo play, the choice is yours. Controllers are supported for an enhanced gaming experience, though they can't be used for navigating the menu (and there's no confirmation yet on fight-stick compatibility).

Street Fighter IV is brimming with content that caters to all skill levels. From arcade mode for each character to adjustable difficulty settings that allow you to gradually hone your skills, there's plenty to keep you engaged. However, if you're new to the fighting game scene, be prepared—veterans have been perfecting their moves for years.

For newcomers, the game offers a wealth of tutorials to help you master the basics.
