edit

Street Fighter IIwas released in 1991 following an unsuccessful attempt to brand the 1989beat 'em upgameFinal Fightas theStreet Fightersequel. It is one of the earliest arcade games for Capcom'sCP Systemhardware and was designed byAkira NishitaniandAkira Yasuda,who also madeFinal FightandForgotten Worlds.[6]

Street Fighter II: The World Warrioris the first one-on-one fighting game to give players a choice from a variety of player characters with different moves, allowing for more varied matches. Each player character has a unique fighting style with approximately 30 or more moves, including new grappling moves and throws, and two or three special attacks. In the single-player mode, the player character is pitted sequentially against the seven other main characters before confronting the final four bosses, exclusivelyCPU-controlled. As in the original, a second player can join anytime for competitive matches.[citation needed]

The original Japanese version ofStreet Fighter IIintroduced anAfrican-American boxerboss characterthat shared the physical characteristics and likeness of real-life boxerMike Tyson.(The character was originally named "Mike Bison". To avoid alikeness infringement lawsuit,Capcom rotated the names of three of the boss characters for international versions of the game. Thefinal boss,named Vega in the Japanese version, was given the M. Bison name, thetalon-wielding Spanish warrior,named Balrog in the Japanese version, was renamed Vega and the boxer became Balrog.[7]In a 2019 interview, Mike Tyson himself was asked about the "Mike Bison" character design, and revealed that he was "honored by the impersonation".[8])

It is also the first game for Capcom'sCP System IIarcade hardware.
