The Street Fighter franchise has come a long way from being one of the arcade ancestors to modern fighting games of beat-'em-ups. Over the years, the series has built up an excellent roster of representatives for many fighting styles and nations. From the original SF2 World Warriors to the small but potent stable of boss characters, Street Fighter's cast does as much to sell the games as their thrilling competitive gameplay. Much has been said about Capcom's enormous stable of characters and how great they are for crossover games, and Street Fighter even takes advantage of this by sharing a universe with Final Fight, Rival Schools, and sometimes even competing fighting game franchises.
