Street Fighter II is one of the most influential fighting games ever created. Released in arcades in 1991, it introduced many mechanics that are still used in fighting games today.
Players choose a character such as Ryu, Ken, or Chun-Li and fight opponents in one-on-one battles. Each character has unique special moves and play styles.
Learning basic attacks, blocking, and timing is the first step toward improvement. Beginners should focus on understanding when to attack and when to defend.
With practice, players can learn combos and special move inputs that increase damage and open up more strategic options.
