Capcom looks back to the past with its franchise which is thirty years old.

Capcom plans to make a video series, and they already published the first chapter, which concentrates the first Street Fighter, as well as all the iterations of the sequel. The commentary is provided by James Chen.

The first Street Fighter launched in 1987, and it only had TWO playable characters (Ken, Ryu), the others (Adon, Gen, Birdie, Sagat) were CPU-only. This game already had the Hadoken, Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, and the Shoryuken special moves.

The sequel had eight playable characters, including a female character, Chun-Li, the Championship Edition added the four boss characters (M. Bison, Vega, Balrog, Sagat), and Hyper Fighting raised the pace and added new moves.

Super Street Fighter II increased the quality, added four more characters (Cammy, T. Hawk, DeeJay, Fei Long), and the Switch version of Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection will also offer the option to connect to seven other Switch players to recreate Street Fighter II: Tournament Battle on modern hardware. Super Street Fighter II Turbo, widely regarded as the final version, added Super and Air Combos, as well as Akuma as a playable character.

The fifteen-minute video says a lot more than the paragraphs above. Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection will launch on May 29 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
