This article offers an argument for the validity of the least popular of all fighting game options at present time: single player modes.
Street Fighter documentary 'Here Comes a New Challenger' is now available for all, following a successful crowd funding campaign.
Celebrating its anniversary today, Street Fighter at 35 years old is just as important today as it was back in 1987.
Street Fighters older than me. I still have some memories of playing Street Fighter on arcade machines up until the early 2000s.
The PlayStation Brahs:
"The Street Fighter 35th anniversary is nearly upon us, as Capcom looks to celebrate the fighting series that changed the genre completely.

I remember when Street Fighter 15th anniversary collection on original xbox was the very first ever online street fighter games. Those were good memories
I still enjoy fighting an AI in fighting games. I don't always want a white knuckle, victory at all costs battle.
Chronicles of the Sword remains 1 of my favorite fighting game modes ever.
Sure there's a place for PVP, but let's not forget to appreciate the simpler pleasures too.
Fighting games have always been about competition, not just as games with arcade origins, but in the name itself: a "fighting" game. You can't get more competitive than that.
Still, the fighting games that I've spent the most time playing are ones with extensive single-player modes, like Soul Calibur II or even Super Smash Brothers Melee. I like games that give you a lot to unlock or challenges with varied conditions, games that give you something to do even when you don't want to fight against another human being.
Fighting games might have competition in their DNA, but a quality single-player experience can do just as much as a robust multiplayer suite.
I want fighting games to have actual story through the arcade mode instead of simply at the beginning and the end
Who told you that it is not important?. That's where the fighting games more unique, it's single player mode.
