Street Fighter II released in 1991 is where the franchise really took off with 8 playable fighters, combo attacks, and new-before-seen mechanics.

Over the course of years Street Fighter II would be re-released as Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, Super Street Fighter II, and Super Street Fighter II: Turbo, cementing the game’s legacy in the fighting game scene.
