Street Fighter did not START the fighting trend

It doesn't matter, no ones talking about bringing in particular attributes into a genre, we're talking about the games that truley brought them into the mainstream, which Doom, and Street Figher, undeniably are responsible for.

I love Duke though, kickass game.

I always read how posters and others people on sites, go on and on how Street fighter started the fighting gene, and how Mortal Kombat and Tekken and other fighting games should own there thinks to SF.

I dont think MK or Tekken own ANYTHING 2 Street fighter, There was fighting GAMES BEFORE Street Fighter, and fighting games AFTER Street fighter.

One of the greatness fighting games before Street Fighter, was Karate Champ, back in the early 80's, around 84.

Now it did not have any fire balls or super moves like SF or MK, It had 2 guys mostly in jump suits, one in red, and the other white, walk up to each other(Slowy I may add lol) and the guy to land the first kick wins the fight. If street fighter is the so called fighter of fighting games, Than Karate Champ is like the Grand daddy of fighting games.

If any thing Street Fighter just improve the graphics of fighting games.

Yep

I remember the original Streetfighter. You used to have to hit a pad to punch. Literally hit it.

There were actually two variations, 1 that you speak of, the pressure sensitive one where you had to hit the pad according to how strong you want it, and the more "traditional" one we play today with the six buttons.

I love the traditional controllers.

Actually, it did

I remembered those good old times when I played the first Street Fighter 2. It was also fun when you defeat your friends, then they get mad and they defeat you and you get mad, but it was still fun. 😄 😄 😎 😎

And when shin akuma was hella cheap.
