Street Fighter was unleashed 22 years ago by legendary video-game developer CAPCOM, becoming a worldwide phenomenon and the most popular game in its genre. It set trends in the video game industry, producing dozens of unforgettable characters that have entered pop culture. Over time, characters such as Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Vega and Bison have become increasingly recognizable and well liked — popular enough, in fact, to be featured in cartoon series and even films.
