Ahead of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary release later this year, Capcom has started a video series explaining the history of Street Fighter, game by game.

The first video in the series naturally covers the first game, as well as the more historically important sequel, Street Fighter II. The retrospective is narrated by fighting game community veteran James Chen, who takes players through Street Fighter history and puts the games in the context of the genre and the industry as a whole.

You can check out the first video right here.

More videos will come as we march closer to the May 29 release date of Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch.

Our Take

Having Chen narrate it was a great choice as he manages to be really informative and speak extemporaneously about a subject in which he's an expert. I can't wait for further episodes.
