- TRIVIA -

Street Fighter was released on August 30, 1987.

Capcom's first head-to-head fighting game, Street Fighter is also the first fighting game to feature: - 6 buttons (or 2 pressure pads) and 8 way joystick. - 2 playable characters and ten CPU-controlled opponents . - Special moves.

Two versions of the game's cabinet were produced. A standard version with the 6-button configuration later used by its sequels ("Street Fighter II - The World Warrior") and a deluxe cabinet that featured 2 pressure sensitive pads for punches and kicks that determine the strength and speed of the player's attacks based on hard they were pressed.
