The debate over the golden era of fighting games rages on. Was it the 90s, with classics like Street Fighter III? The 2000s, dominated by titles like Guilty Gear? Or perhaps the 2020s, with the likes of Tekken leading the charge? Regardless of the era, it's undeniable that Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in reigniting passion for the iconic brawling genre.
