Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Yie Ar Kung-Fu

Street Fighter

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Capcom's original Street Fighter laid the groundwork for the genre with one-on-one duels against opponents from around the world, attack buttons and early command-input special moves. It is clunky and punishing, but historically important.
