It’s been 25 years since the fighting game genre was more-or-less codified by Street Figther, and to commemorate the occasion, Capcom teamed up with gaming video group Area 5 to make a documentary. It’s titled I Am Street Fighter – 25th Anniversary Documentary.
The documentary is essentially a love letter to all things Street Fighter. It goes in-depth into the history of the franchise and even has fans of the games, such as Clarence Lim, collector and cosplayer, talk about their childhood experiences with Street Fighter 2. The documentary covers fans and developers from all sides of Street Fighter, including art designers who were responsible for Street Fighter 2 HD Remix as well as the original sound director for Street Fighter 2.
Over the years, there have been quite a large number of mainline Street Fighter games. The number goes even higher when you start counting the Vs and X games, such as SNK vs Capcom, Marvel vs Capcom or Street Fighter X Tekken.
