    Balrog (Street Fighter)
    Balrog is a character from the Street Fighter videogame series. If Balrog seems like an odd name for this guy (he doesn’t look much like a Tolkienian fire-demon, anyway), that’s because it’s not exactly his name. In the Japanese version of Street Fighter II, the guy who looked a lot like Mike Tyson was called something that sounded a lot like “Mike Tyson” – this is the original “M. Bison.”

    Blanka
    Blanka is a character from the Street Fighter videogame series.

    Every character appearing in Street Fighter II is nominally human. Blanka, however, is the one who doesn’t quite look it. Underneath the whacky color scheme, though, there’s just another guy, albeit a guy with an origin story that’s odd even by Street Fighter standards.

    Cammy White
    Cammy White is a character from the Street Fighter videogame series.

    While Cammy’s appearance varies according to which Street Fighter game you’re playing, one thing remains consistent – doesn’t she get cold in that outfit? Freedom of movement is well and good, which her traditional leotard surely provides, but not at the cost of frostbite.

    Chun-Li
    Chun-Li is a character from the Street Fighter videogame series

    The first – and perhaps still the most famous – female competitor in 2D fighting games, Chun-Li is one of the Street Fighter franchise’s icons. She remains a fan favorite years after her debut – her absence from the original Street Fighter III caused considerable outcry.

    Dhalsim
    Dhalsim is a character from the Street Fighter videogame series. In the context of the game’s story, Dhalsim is a master of yoga, whose extensive physical and meditative training has granted him the ability to extend his limbs. He can also float in the air and teleport, although he uses those skills (and his fire-breathing stunts) more sparingly.

    E. Honda
    Edmond Honda is a character from the Street Fighter videogame series.

    Though it’s usually shortened to “E. Honda” (first to save space in memory, and later for tradition’s sake), yes, his full name is Edmond Honda. It’s not exactly the handle you’d expect to see on a sumo wrestler, but then Honda breaks from the norm in more ways than just that one.

    General Features
    • Classic "2D" Street Fighter gameplay with stunning 3D characters and environments
    • New special moves that go beyond any Street Fighter fan's wildest imagination, including Focus attacks, Super Combos, and the revenged-fueled Ultra Combo system.
    • Classic Street Fighter characters recreated for a new generation of gamers, including the original cast of Street Fighter I
    • New brawlers: female super-spy Crimson Viper, lucha libre wrestler El Fuerte, mixed martial artist Abel and more!
    • Amazing locations never seen before in a Street Fighter game
    • New gameplay elements provide new challenges for both newcomers and the most seasoned Street Fighter pro
    Multiplayer Functions
    • Offline Versus Multiplayer (2 players)
