"Street Fighter IV Hits Mobile Again via Netflix"

The debate over the golden age of fighting games is a heated one. Was it the '90s with classics like Street Fighter III? The 2000s with the rise of Guilty Gear? Or perhaps the 2020s with Tekken's dominance? Regardless of where you stand, it's undeniable that Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in rejuvenating interest in this iconic genre.

Now, thanks to Netflix Games, you can dive back into the action with Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition. This version brings you an impressive roster of over 30 fighters and 12 iconic stages. Whether you're a fan of the classic duo Ryu and Ken, returning favorites from Third Strike like Elena and Dudley, or new additions such as C. Viper and Juri Han, there's something for everyone.

The best part? You only need a standard Netflix subscription to jump in. Enjoy both online multiplayer and offline solo play, and rest assured that controllers are supported (though not for navigating the menu—still no word on fight-sticks).

My time is now—Street Fighter IV is packed with content, from arcade mode for each character to adjustable difficulty settings that help you develop your skills at your own pace. However, be warned: if you're a beginner, the fighting game community has had years to perfect their techniques.

Luckily, if you're new to fighting games, you can ease into the genre with customizable difficulty levels and a range of tutorials designed to teach you the fundamentals.

Could Street Fighter IV be your entry point into the world of fighting games? If so, mobile gaming is the perfect platform to start. Don't just take my word for it—check out our ranking of the top 25 best fighting games for iOS and Android to discover more thrilling, face-to-face combat.
