Documentary: I am Street Fighter



The legacy of Street Fighter is an impressive one, even among video games. It was among the very first 2D fighting games, and it evolved into arguably the largest fighting game franchise in history, with countless iterations of the game being released for both arcades and consoles. "I Am Street Fighter" looks back at the tradition of Street Fighter from the first game made in 1987 up through the modern competition-based game of recent releases.

The documentary is fairly well made, considering that it was posted for free to YouTube. I wish it was a little more comprehensive, because I feel like it skims over discusses the impact of the game on the industry. However, Street Fighter fan are definitely going to enjoy this documentary.
