"Street Fighter IV Hits Mobile Again via Netflix"

The debate over the peak era of fighting games rages on. Was it the '90s, with classics like Street Fighter III? The 2000s, marked by the rise of Guilty Gear? Or the 2020s, dominated by games like Tekken? Regardless of the answer, it's undeniable that Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in revitalizing the genre, bringing it back into the spotlight.

Now, thanks to Netflix Games, you can dive back into the action with Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition. This version boasts an impressive lineup of over 32 fighters and 12 iconic stages. Whether you're a fan of the classic duo Ryu and Ken, or prefer the returning Third Strike favorites Elena and Dudley, or even the newcomers like C. Viper and Juri Han, there's a fighter for everyone.

The best part? You only need a standard Netflix subscription to access it. Enjoy the game in both online multiplayer and offline solo modes. Controllers are supported, though you'll need to navigate the menu with touch controls (and there's no word yet on fight-stick compatibility).
