Review: Street Fighter V (DarkZero)

Dominic Sheard: "Street Fighter is an important part of video game history. While we can chuckle about the issues with the original Street Fighter from 1987, there is nothing you can say to take away the impact that Street Fighter II had when it arrived in arcades in 1992. Capcom had given birth to the rise of the fighting game genre, so much so that everyone wanted a slice of it in the early 90s. Street Fighter IV, while not quite having the same impact, was still a rebirth for the genre, sprouting new life for fighting games that sparked the growth of the Fighting Game Community, with more and more people playing fighting games and wanting to enter tournaments to see if they could have the prowess to defeat Sheng Long. It also allowed other companies to take a stab at bringing fighting games out of cryostasis to bring variety to what was looking like a genre owned by Street Fighter IV."
