The first Street Fighter game was launched in 1987. In total, this has sold more than 49 million copies, making it one of the best-selling video games in the world. The game is about Ryu and Ken, two characters who travel the world to compete in tournaments as martial arts fighters.
The second part of the game series, which was released in 1991, featured no less than eight characters, each with their own fighting techniques. Street Fighter II is considered one of the most influential games of all time. Since then, more sequels have followed.
The first time a Street Fighter movie was made was in 1994. Action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme played a leading role in this movie. The reviews were bad, but it was a commercial success.
